Key terms include:- **Afferent:** Refers to the transmission of sensory signals to the CNS.- **Efferent:** Relates to the sending of motor commands from the CNS to the body.Users are prompted to enter a term that describes this area, typically known as a "nerve" or "neuron pathway."

True or False a. When they are at rest, neurons are more positively charged inside than outside the cell. b. Action potentials originate at the axon terminal and move towards the dendrites. c. Afferent pathways send sensory information to the CNS for processing. d. An action potential is something that only occurs at synapses. Choose ONE FALSE statement from the previous set and explain why it is incorrect.
In the introduction section the authors wrote “In general, the polarity-dependent mechanisms are recognized to cause membrane depolarization by anodal stimulation which increases cerebral excitability, or membrane hyperpolarization by cathodal stimulation leading to a decrease in neuronal excitability.” Based on this quote what affect, if any, does anodal stimulation have on ion channels?
What effect would you expect an antagonist that targets the voltage sensing domain of perisynaptic calcium channels of an inhibitory interneuron have on the firing frequency of a finically active neuron that interneuron synapses onto? Explain in details
The year is 2200, and the intrepid space explorer Joel E. has been bitten by some kind of toothy alien. We don't know much about the alien, but we do know its venom causes voltage-gated potassium channels to close even slower than normal.
The primary difference between an EPSP and an IPSP is what? The direction of membrane polarization The degree of effect. The overall speed of conduction. The ease of elicitation.
There is a toxin extracted from pufferfish called tetrodotoxin (TTX), which completely inhibits (blocks) voltage-gated sodium channels. In low doses it can cause a slight numbness (people eat contaminated pufferfish sometimes!), in high doses it is lethal. Why is this the case? It prevents glutamate uptake and reuptake, causing seizures in the brain Ob. It causes excess neuronal activity, leading to excitotoxicity and cell death It destroys myelin around axons, slowing action potential propagation It prevents action potentials from being initiated, stopping all synaptic transmission O 0 o o
What property is responsible for the smaller steady state DVm in the postsynaptic cell compared to that in the presynaptic cell? A: Membrane capacitanceB: Membrane resistance explain your answer
Describe the resting potential for neurons. How is this potential established? Describe the development of the action potential. How does this come about, and what is the function of this phenomenon? Include a diagram of the various stages of the action potential, showing the changes in voltage that occur throughout this phenomenon
Two separate post-synaptic interneurons receive synaptic potentials from afferent neurons in the periphery. The dendrites of one these interneurons receive an excitatory post-synaptic potential (EPSP) and an inhibitory post-synaptic potential (IPSP) of equal magnitude at the same time. The dendrites of the other interneuron receive one excitatory post-synaptic potential that is the same sized as the EPSP and IPSP received by the other interneuron

"Hebb's Rule" says, in effect, that a neuron that is repeatedly activated will have an increasingly powerful effect on all of its neighbours. neurons that are repeatedly activated together become more strongly connected. neurons that are strongly connected are likely to become activated at the same time. neurons that are strongly connected are typically found in the cortex.
You find a neuron whose resting potential is -90mV. Which of the following are likely to be true? (select all that apply) Voltage-gated sodium channels are closed The neuron is fully permeable to sodium The neuron is permeable to potassium The neuron is hyperpolarized
