What is an impulse? What is synaptic transmission?
In the autoimmune disease multiple sclerosis, a person's immune system attacks and destroys the myelin sheath cells. What occurs as a result of the destruction of these cells? Action potentials can travel in two directions. None of the answer choices are correct. O The sodium-potassium pumps malfunction. The speed of action potentials decreases. Signals cannot be transmitted across the synapse.
"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.
To fill the blanks choose from the following: Sodium potassium pump, out of, -30, into, -90, potassium gated-channels, active, +30, sodium gated channels, -70, +70, Repolarization , Refractory, Resting Potential, Depolarization, node of Ranvier, Schwann cells, unmyelinated, speed up, slows down, myelinated.
What is the role of calcium in neuronal communication at the axon terminal? What would be prevented if calcium channels could not open here in the terminal?
n the context of neuronal function, nerve action potentials are generated when: Multiple Choice CI- ions influx through chloride channels to hyperpolarize the nerve membrane. Na+ ions influx through sodium channels to depolarize the nerve membrane. CI- ions influx through chloride channels to depolarize the nerve membrane. Nat ions influx through sodium channels to hyperpolarize the nerve membrane. < Prev 24 of 25 Next

Which of the following could be used to describe the parasympathetic nervous system? Select all that apply. Short preganglionic, long postganglionic fibers. O long preganglionic, short postganglionic fibers. Known to be active during "rest and digest" responses. Stimulates ciliary muscles of the eye, which makes the lens bulge for close vision. O Active during "fight or flight" responses. increases heart rate « Previous Next
Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are drugs that can alleviate symptoms of depression by blocking the reuptake of serotonin (5-HT) from the synaptic cleft, thereby increasing the amount of time that 5-HT remains active. Elevated levels of 5-HT within the synapse are associated with feelings of well-being; conversely, low levels of 5-HT are correlated with depressive symptoms. Recent studies have shown that SSRIs can also mediate their antidepressant effects by increasing brain levels of certain cytokines, including interferon gamma (IFNY). IFNY directly induces the expression of the protein p11 in neighboring neurons, which then interacts with 5-HTR4, a 5-HT transmembrane receptor. Figures 1 and 2 provide information about this interaction. 5-HTR4 protein (% of WT) expression CAMP levels (% change control) from 120T 100+ 80+ 60+ 40+ 20+ 0 MEM TOT Figure 1 5-HTR4 protein expression in plasma membrane-enriched fraction (MEM) of hippocampal lysate and in total hippocampal…
Describe how neurons communicate. To do this you must address: resting membrane potential; graded potentials; IPSPs; EPSPs; the role of sodium, potassium and calcium; generation of an action potential; inotropic vs metabutropic receptors; why is an AP only one direction; how are neurotransmitters released; continuous vs saltatory conduction; spatial vs temporal summation.
Synaptogenesis is involved in long term memory consolidation. Describe the ways new synapses could form.
READ: They key to large-scale communication in the entire nervous system is the ability to pass nerve impulses on a small scale from one neuron to the next so that signals can be transmitted throughout the entire body. The junction between two neurons is called a synapse, and is the critical space that mediates the transfer of a signal from the presynaptic neuron (the sender) to the postsynaptic neuron (the receiver) or even an effector cell (like a gland or muscle cell.) You circled a synapse in Model 1. Synapses can be electrical or chemical. Electrical synapses transmit electrical signals via gap junctions. A channel protein connects the cytoplasm of two adjacent neurons so that ions can flow directly from one cell to another to pass on the signal. However, the most common type of synapse is a chemical synapse. These utilize chemical signals, called neurotransmitters, to transmit the signal across the synaptic cleft. This is a slower process, but allows for much greater precision…
