Neuropsychology 300 How does communication occur between neurons?

Neuropsychology 300 Electronically or chemically through neurotransmitters.

Neuropsychology 400 List three characteristics of someone who is predominately “right brained”. List three characteristics of someone who is “left brained”.

Neuropsychology 400 Right Brain: -visual, focuses on patterns -Sees whole first, then details Left Brain: -verbal, focuses on words -Detail oriented
