The answer is B: correlation.

Explanation for each option:

A. Outcome variable: This refers to the dependent variable in an experiment or study, which is the variable being tested and measured. It is not a measure of the relationship between two variables.

B. Correlation: This is the correct answer. Correlation is a statistical measure that describes the strength and direction of a relationship between two variables. It indicates how changes in one variable are associated with changes in another.

C. Common-causal variable: This is a variable that influences both the independent and dependent variables, potentially causing a spurious relationship between them. It is not a measure of the relationship between two variables.

D. Predictor variable: This is another term for an independent variable, which is used to predict the value of the dependent variable. It is not a measure of the relationship between two variables.

In the nervous system, which of the following is true of neurons and the neurotransmitters they secrete? Most neurons secrete many neurotransmitters at the same time. At any given time, a neuron is receiving a mixture of messages from the neurotransmitters. Neurotransmitters are located in the nuclei of the neurons. Neurotransmitters in neurons cannot be both excitatory and inhibitory.
