Biological Basis of Behavior William James- mental activity is also physiological activity Neuron- basic unit of the nervous system *Each neuron is a living cell with a nucleus and other parts common to all cells. Three main parts of the neuron: 1. Dendrites: the receiving part of the nucleus 2. Cell body (Soma): The processing part Electrochemical Transmission 3. Axon: the transmitting part Normal habit change: Doing the same behavior over and over again (same neurons being used over and over)

What is Life? This perennial question the answer to which has somehow eluded the most brilliant minds. For while scientists have identified many years ago the right mix of the atoms and molecules that constitute cellular material‚ they have not succeeded in ‘switching it on’ to make it alive‚ or ‘breathing life’ into it (Rabago et.al‚2006) In this module you will: a. Explain the concepts of the cell theory b. Identify the parts of a cell c. Describe the function of each cell part d. Differentiate
