Rebecca Luther 12/10/14 Professor Datta Neuroanatomy Assignment #3 Part A The brain is a complex organ, involving multiple processes and pathways. Laila is able to first guess, and then confirm, that her friends have ordered pizza through a few different processes. The human nervous system plays an essential part in receiving and interpreting all outside stimuli. It integrates information from the outside world with information from inside the body. It initiates appropriate responses to the environment

An auditory brainstem response is an electrical potential generated from the changes in neural activity when an acoustic stimulus is presented into the ear. Stimuli in the form of clicks, tonebursts or chirps are transmitted through a transducer and measured using surface electrodes positioned on the scalp. The elicited waveform response consists of 7 waves that occur within a period of 10ms after the presented stimuli. Each waveform peak is labeled from I-VII where each wave corresponds to a neural
