GUIDE SOLUTIONS
◉ Golgi stain. Answer: Stained brain tissue with silver nitrate.
◉ Santiago Ramon y Cajal. Answer: Used golgi stain and newborn
animal tissue to discover individual cells or units that make up the
tissue (neurons).
◉ Edgar Adrian. Answer: Recorded electrical signals from single
sensory 'receptor' neurons.
◉ Neural communication. Answer: Information = frequency of firing.
◉ Level of Analysis. Answer: We do not examine topics of interest
from a single perspective, but rather we look at them from multiple
angles.
◉ Tolman's cognitive maps. Answer: How do animals learn
locations?
