What is Altruism
200These are the chemicals that neurons use to communicate
across the synaptic gap.
What are Neurotransmitters
300The psychological perspective
that proposes that behavior comes from unconscious
drives and conflicts.
What is psychoanalysis (psycho-dynamism)
400No longer noticing the cold temperature of a pool 30
minutes after jumping in is an example of this.
What is desentization
