2. Does our understanding of neural networks adequately explain the complex functions of the human nervous system? In your answer, you should include such terms as emergent properties, affective behaviors, cognitive behaviors, neurons (and the functional anatomy of each of its sections), action potentials, graded potentials, electrochemical gradient, depolarization, repolarization, hyperpolarization, voltage-gated Na+ channel, voltage-gated K+ channel, Na+ /K+ -ATPase, EPSP, IPSP, temporal summation, spatial summation, trigger zone of the axon hillock, myelination, salutatory conduction, nodes of Ranvier, axon terminal, voltage-gated Ca+ channel, synaptic vesicle, neurotransmitter, and synapse. You should be able to describe a few nervous pathologies, how they arise, and how they affect normal organismal function.
