Suppose that you are reading a book that describes how the inside of the U.S. Supreme Court looks from a lawyer's point of view.
 
  Based on the discussion of neuroscience research and visual imagery, what would you predict about your visual system's reaction to this description?
   a. The cones in the retina would be stimulated more than the rods (assuming that the scene took place during the daytime).
   b. Your visual cortex would show increased blood flow.
   c. Your auditory cortex would show the largest increase in blood flow, because of the auditory code required during reading.
   d. Because no neurological correlates have yet been discovered, no measurable response would be located.

Question 2

The neuropsychology evidence on the imagery question shows that
 
  a. imagery and perception involve entirely different biological processes .
  b. during mental imagery, some portions of the visual-processing regions of the cortex seem to be activated.
  c. the primary similarity between imagery and perception is that the visual receptors in the retina are stimulated in both cases.
  d. the neuroscience research in this area has a major problem with demand characteristics, so we cannot draw clear-cut conclusions.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.

A serious new warning has been established for pregnant women against taking ACE inhibitors during pregnancy. In the study, the risk of major birth defects in children whose mothers took ACE inhibitors during the first trimester was nearly three times higher than in children whose mothers didn't take ACE inhibitors. Physicians can prescribe alternative medications for pregnant women who have symptoms of high blood pressure.
