The argument that certain behaviours can be traced back to a specific part of the brain is called . The hippocampus has the function of transferring information from short-term to long-term memory. The plays a role in the creation of emotional memories. The lobe plays a role in thinking and decision making. The plays a role in the regulation of hunger.

A chemical that blocks a receptor site and leads to inaction is called a(n)   . In studies with rats, researchers block acetylcholine receptor sites with a drug called .

The two key ways that neurotransmitters are removed from the synapse are that they can be broken down by an or they can be reabsorbed in a process called .

A criticism of the biological approach is that the approach focuses on very simple origins of complex behaviours. This is called a approach.

Neuroplasticity has two phases. The creation of new synapses is the result of a process called branching and the removal of synapses is called synaptic .

The repeated firing of the same neuron which leads to neuroplasticity is called long-term .

MRIs create their image by measuring the spin of hydrogen protons. The MRI data can be interpreted by looking at voxel-based morphology that helps us to measure the of grey matter, or pixel counting, which allows us to measure the of grey matter. A scan measures the breakdown of glucose in the brain to measure brain activity.
