Identify basic processes and systems in the biological bases of behavior, including parts of the neuron and the process of transmission of a signal between neurons.
Identify basic processes and systems in the biological bases of behavior, including parts of the neuron and the process of transmission of a signal between neurons.
Draw a neuron and label the following parts:
Soma, dendrites, axon, axon terminal, axon hillock, myelin sheath, synapses
