1) There are many terms and processes described in the chapter on Biological Bases of Behavior. As a class, let’s find and share some resources that help us learn more about the concepts related to neurons covered n the chapter. Find an online video that includes a visual and/or information of one or more of the following terms – neurons, resting/action potential, neurotransmitters, and/or neural plasticity. Discuss how the video exemplifies what you learned in the reading. Be specific. What did the video add to your learning regarding the term(s)/topic(s)? 2) Describe at least three major structures or areas of the brain that are involved with sensation and perception. If one of these areas of the brain stopped functioning or did not function properly, how would this change your daily quality of life and functioning? 3) How do sensation and perception interact? Select one altered state of consciousness from Chapter 4. Describe how sensation and perception in this altered state of consciousness would be similar and different when compared to a normal state of consciousness.
