Hello Knight Family:
A solar eclipse, an enormous amount of testing and an early dismissal all in one week equal a busier than normal week at ALAH!
Have you ever wondered what a question on the SAT really looks like? Here is an example that the New York Times recently posted when discussing the latest changes in this nationally given test. Remember it is all digital, even the math portion.
The field of study called affective neuroscience seeks instinctive, physiological causes for feelings such as pleasure or displeasure. Because these sensations are linked to a chemical component (for example, the release of the neurotransmitter dopamine in the brain when one receives or expects a reward), they can be said to have a partly physiological basis. These processes have been described in mammals, but Jingnan Huang and his colleagues have recently observed that some behaviors of honeybees (such as foraging) are also motivated by a dopamine-based signaling process.
What choice best describes the main purpose of the text?
It describes an experimental method of measuring the strength of physiological responses in humans.
It illustrates processes by which certain insects can express how they are feeling.
It summarizes a finding suggesting that some mechanisms in the brains of certain insects resemble mechanisms in mammalian brains.
It presents research showing that certain insects and mammals behave similarly when there is a possibility of a reward for their actions.
