This study guide covers neural communication, focusing on neurons, glial cells, and the spinal cord reflex arc. It details the neural transmission process, including resting potential, action potential, and reuptake. Key neurotransmitters and hormones are discussed, along with their functions. The guide also explains the effects of psychoactive drugs (agonists, antagonists, reuptake inhibitors) on neurotransmitters and behavior, including tolerance and addiction. Finally, it provides practice questions and exam tips.
