|ALREADY GRADED A+|| 2025 BRAND NEW
VERSION!!!
The brain is considered mature around the age of: - CORRECT
ANSWER- 25 YRS Brain Development starts shortly after
conception.
Early childhood, late childhood, adolescence, adulthood - CORRECT
ANSWER-Order these stages of development from greatest plasticity
to least
The age at which a human brain has the most connections between
neurons is: - CORRECT ANSWER-3 YRS
They influence which neural connections are strengthened and which
are pruned away - CORRECT ANSWER-How do experiences shape the
developing brain?
,Sensory abilities, motor skills, emotional skills, executive function skills
- CORRECT ANSWER-Different abilities, and their underlying neural
circuits, develop in a bottom-up sequence during sensitive periods. Put
the following abilities in the correct sequence of development.
At any stage of development - CORRECT ANSWER-At what stage of
development do negative experiences influence the architecture of the
developing brain?
The interaction between genes and environmental influences -
CORRECT ANSWER-Most traits and diseases in humans are derived
from:
An environmental factor modifies the area surrounding a gene such
that its expression decreases - CORRECT ANSWER-Which of the
following is an example of an epigenetic effect?
The glucocorticoid receptor gene - CORRECT ANSWER-Which gene
has been shown to be epigenetically modified by the quality of maternal
care in rat offspring?
The stress response increases - CORRECT ANSWER-What happens
to the stress response system when the glucocorticoid receptor gene
, is epigenetically modified such that it is less active and produces fewer
receptors?
Childhood maltreatment - CORRECT ANSWER-What pre-exisiting
condition(s) are associated with epigenetic modification of the
glucocorticoid receptor gene in victims of suicide?
Manual dexterity - CORRECT ANSWER-Which of the following
outcomes is NOT related to the quality of parental care a child
receives?
Cortisol and adrenalin - CORRECT ANSWER-Which two hormones are
involved in initiating our response to stress?
Tolerable stress is buffered by supportive adult relationships but
toxic stress is not - CORRECT ANSWER-Which of the following
answers best describes the difference between tolerable and toxic
stress in a child?
Silencing of the glucocorticoid receptor gene and glucocorticoid
resistance - CORRECT ANSWER-Allostatic changes due to activation
of the stress response can produce allostatic load on the body and
brain. Which of the following pairs does NOT correctly identify an
allostatic change and its corresponding allostatic load?
