**What This Document Is**
This is a study guide designed to help students prepare for the final exam in PSB 2000: Introduction to Brain and Behavior at Florida State University. It consists of previously used exam questions, intended for review and self-assessment. The final exam will draw questions from this guide, as well as from Exam 4.
**Why This Document Matters**
This study guide is essential for students enrolled in PSB 2000 who are preparing for their final exam. It provides a focused review of key concepts covered throughout the semester. Utilizing this guide can help students identify areas where they need further study and improve their overall exam performance. It’s most valuable when used *in conjunction* with course notes, textbooks, and other learning materials.
**Common Limitations or Challenges**
This study guide is not a substitute for attending lectures, completing readings, or engaging with the course material. It does not provide explanations of concepts, only questions to test existing knowledge. The questions are randomized on the final exam, so rote memorization of answers will not be sufficient for success.

* Historical perspectives in neuroscience (Descartes)
* The impact of brain damage (Patient H.M.)
