INSTRUCTIONS :
*For each of the 10 drawing questions below, please use MS Paint, or a similar program that allows you to save pictures as .gif or .jpeg files (or a similar format that I can view on my PC), and save each drawing a separate file. Please label each file using the letter “QE2_” and the number of the question, so the paint file for the first question would be labeled “QE2_1”, the second question paint file would be labeled “QE2_2”, etc.
*Please try to keep track of how much time you spent on the entire test, and about how long you spend on each question, on average, you will be asked this information later at the end.
*Please answer the survey questions on the next page when finished drawing your answers to the test questions
*When finished drawing all of the questions 1-10, please place all of the drawing files in a folder, place this test file with your survey answers also in the folder, and label the folder “Neuron E2 Exp Sum 2011_”Your Name”, zip the folder, and send it to me at : cogsci7@gmail.com. In the header of the e-mail please write :
“Neuron Experiment E2 Summer 2011_”Your Name, First and Last”.

	CELLULAR DRAWING QUESTIONS:
“At the cellular level” means using structures found in the cellular videos
1. Draw what the dendrite area looks like at the cellular level
2. Draw what the entire neuron looks like at the wireframe level
3. Draw what the area(s) of the axon where the action potential occur look like at the cellular level
4. Draw what the myelin sheath looks like at the molecular level
5. Draw what the calcium channel area at the start of the neuron looks like at the cellular level, in both the opened and closed states (2 separate drawings, side by side)
6. Draw the 3 steps of synaptic vesicle release at the cellular level (3 separate drawings, side by side)

	MOLECULAR DRAWING QUESTIONS:
“At the molecular level” means using structures found in the molecular videos
7. Draw Calcium channels opening and closing at the molecular level (draw them first closed, then draw them opened, and then closed again, so three drawings next to one another)
8. Draw what the area of the neuron where the action potential occurs looks like at the molecular level
9. Draw what the synaptic vesicle looks like at the molecular level
10. Draw what the area before calcium release looks like in terms of positive charges (Use a “+” symbol to denote positive charge)
