Unit 2 Quiz Corrections

2. I chose A, this is wrong because the region that was highlighted was the pons. I said it was in
charge of memory formation, but the pons is actually in charge of balance, movement, and
sleep, therefore, this is wrong. Also, the hippocampus is in charge of memory formation not the
pons. The correct answer was B because the pons is actually in charge of sleeping, waking, and
dreaming.

6. I chose C, this is wrong because the cerebellum is in charge of balance and movement not the
ability to understand language. The correct answer is B because the left temporal lobe is in
charge of understanding language and learning.

7. I chose B this is wrong because antagonists keep types of cells from activating in the brain
which doesn’t relate to the question. Antagonists are found in medications for schizophrenia
and psychosis. The correct answer is A which is agonists, agonists activate particular receptors in
brain like the opioid receptor which is what opiate drugs do.
