    Discussion Questions

    1. In what ways does the segmentation of the brain into the brain stem, cerebellum, and cerebral hemispheres provide a natural division?
    2. How has the study of split-brain patients been informative?
    3. What is behind the expression “use your gray matter,” and why is it not entirely accurate?
    4. Why is converging evidence the best kind of evidence in the study of brain function?
    5. If you were interested in whether a particular brain area was involved in a specific behavior, what neuroscience methods could you use?
    6. If you were interested in the precise time in which a particular brain process occurred, which neuroscience methods could you use?
