This quiz contains 10 multiple choice questions testing neuroscience knowledge. The questions cover topics like the role of the cerebellum in movement and cognition, neurotransmitter receptors, nerve growth factor, the number of human chromosome pairs, the lobe processing visual information, the definition of a reflex, the meaning of the term "synapse", the deep brain regions relaying and filtering sensory information, the structure linking the cerebral hemispheres, and the normal stages non-REM sleep is divided into.
