Biological Basis of Behavior

Only excitatory uses dopamine as neurotransmitter; inhibitory uses serotonin only

Excitatory neurotransmission involves neurons firing, while inhibitory involves them resting.

Excitatory neurotransmission increases likelihood that action potential will be generated, while inhibitory decreases it.

Excitatory involves electrical signals; inhibitory involves chemical signals only.

The belief that neurons physically touch each other to transmit information.

The understanding that humans have a tripartite soul.

The notion that mental experiences can be conditioned through association.

The idea that the mind and body are two separate entities.

Ensuring privacy, confidentiality, and avoiding harm or discomfort for the participants.

Disregarding any discomfort experienced by subjects during experimentation for the sake of results.

Ignoring any legal laws or regulations associated with data interpretation.

Sharing personal details about participants' identities without their approval.

Observing natural variations in neurotransmitter levels among different individuals through correlational studies.

Conducting a randomized controlled trial where one group receives a neurotransmitter inhibitor while another group does not.

Using cross-sectional methods to compare neurotransmitter levels across groups at a single point in time.

Collecting qualitative self-reports from subjects regarding their emotions following exposure to various stimuli.

A combination of physical therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and pain medication

Pain medication alone

Psychoanalysis only

It prevents action potentials by keeping all sodium and potassium ions outside of the cell.

It facilitates synaptic transmission by releasing stored neurotransmitters into the synapse.

It generates action potentials by rapidly pumping sodium ions into the cell.

It pumps two potassium ions into the cell for every three sodium ions it pumps out.

The resting potential decreases further into negativity.

An action potential is generated.

The neuron becomes dormant.

Neurotransmitters are depleted from the neuron.

The neuron's firing strength varies based on the stimulus intensity.

Only certain neurons can fire while others cannot.

The neuron either fires completely or it doesn't fire at all.

Neurons continuously fire at a slow, steady rate.
