Discovering Biological Psychology 2nd Edition by Freberg With its comprehensive, authoritative coverage and student-centered pedagogy, DISCOVERING BIOLOGICAL PSYCHOLOGY, 2nd Edition is ideal for a broad range of students taking a beginning undergraduate course in biological or physiological psychology. The book provides a foundational understanding of the structure and function of the nervous system and its relationship to both typical and disordered human behavior. Written by an author with nearly 30 years of teaching experience at schools ranging from community colleges to the Ivy League, this text presents classic concepts, current topics, and cutting-edge research in a style that is both accessible to beginning and less-prepared students and appealing to students with stronger backgrounds. As a result, the book allows instructors to teach a rigorous course that does not oversimplify the material, while keeping students excited and engaged. Reviewers have praised the text’s clear narrative, high-interest examples, pedagogy, and purposeful art program.

The Second Edition is supported by a comprehensive and contemporary media package that includes animations, videos, lectures and an image gallery on Microsoft PowerPoint slides, student response system content, and a time-saving online homework and course management system. Your roommate is convinced that we only use 10 percent of our brains. Which of the following statements would be best to use to persuade her that this is not true?.

Brain scans indicate that although the entire brain is not active at the same time, each part has an important role to play. It is not reasonable to use an organ so infrequently when it requires so many resources. In the course of evolution, it is unlikely that we would evolve an organ unless its use provided us with some advantages.

All of the above. You are a licensed clinical counselor. A 35-year-old woman comes to you who has always been very optimistic and cheerful, but suddenly is extremely depressed. There has been no change in her life circumstances, and she is aware of nothing that could be causing this depression. Given what you have learned so far, what is the first thing you might suggest to her?.

She should see her doctor for a complete physical, and perhaps even see a neurologist to rule out any underlying physical problem. She probably has some deep underlying resentment of her parents that she needs to admit to before she will be able to get better. The whole family should come in for therapy, as there is obviously something going on somewhere that is not obvious. She should see a psychiatrist and get medication for the depression first and foremost, then talk therapy will probably be able to help her. A researcher has found differences between homosexual and heterosexual men in a specific area of the brain. One reason to be cautious in interpreting this finding as proof that this area causes homosexual behavior is that.

the researcher does not have complete confidence in his research. the technology to examine the brain through autopsy is not well developed. behavior may influence the brain as much as the brain influences behavior. MEG recordings have to be done to confirm these findings.

A researcher is interested in discovering if one part of the brain, the orbitofrontal cortex, has connections with another part of the brain, the amygdala.

Which of the following experimental methods would be the most appropriate for this purpose?. Inject horseradish peroxidase into a rat's orbitofrontal cortex and then see if cells in the amygdala are stained.

Inject a human volunteer with a radioactive glucose and see what part of his brain is active while viewing an emotionally charged set of pictures using a PET scan. Look at a human brain with fMRI to see if the orbitofrontal cortex and amygdala are active at the same times. Stimulate the orbitofrontal cortex of a human volunteer during neurosurgery. Although his ability to speak is otherwise normal, a stroke patient is having difficulty naming common everyday objects, such as tools.

In order to determine which part of the brain is functioning abnormally, his doctor may use which of the following techniques?. Inject the patient with horseradish peroxidase and look at his brain during an autopsy. Do a CT scan on the brain to see what area is not functioning. Use functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to compare the activity of the brains of the patient and normal volunteers when they are presented with pictures of various tools.

During neurosurgery on the patient, stimulate his brain to see what part is not functioning.
