Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Feedback:
Neuroplasticity is the brain's ability to develop and alter in response to experiences with various stimuli. Reactive plasticity and adaptive plasticity are two basic phenomena involved in neuroplasticity, both of which depend on a structural change in neurons.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Feedback:
The limbic system controls emotions, memory, and learning. The basal ganglia initiates and controls voluntary motor activities and muscle tone. The brainstem controls respiration, gastrointestinal motility, circulation, and sleep and wakefulness, and it directs visual and auditory reflexes. The cerebellum controls and guides movements and maintains muscle tone.
