This week, we are covering the biological foundations of behavior, including the activity and anatomy of neurons and neurotransmitters, the process of
an action potential (neural impulse), brain regions, and methods to study the brain (such as neuroimaging).
- Describe what happens during an action potential. What does it mean when we say an action potential is an “all or none” thing? What is the
purpose of the myelin sheath and what happens if it is gone?
Answers should be a minimum of 10-12 sentences in length, should be well thought out, should show critical thinking about the topic, and should be
based on evidence from the readings (with included citations and References).
