A teacher wanted to improve her students' concentration in class. She read an article in a scientific journal about the effect of light on the hypothalamus. The study
discovered that the nerve cells in this part of the brain are more active in bright light.
When they are active, they produce hypocretin. In the study, the scientists
discovered mice with hypocretin could accomplish tricks mice lacking hypocretin
couldn't learn.
What evidence supports the prediction the teacher will now maintain a brightly lit
classroom?
The teacher read a study in a scientific journal and is hoping
students will be interested on the effects of light on mice.
The teacher wants to improve student concentration, and the study
suggests bright light may improve learning.
The teacher hopes he students will read more science, and bright
light makes it easier to see the text.
