Retinal Ganglion cell question, multiple choice! Regarding the synaptic circuits of OFF DS RGCS and OFF starburst cells,which of the statements below is correct? Hint: Both cell types receive inputin the OFF sublamina of the inner plexiform layer.An OFF DS RGC's excitatory zone receives OFF bipolar cell input, whereas itsinhibitory zone receives OFF starburst cell input.An OFF DS RGC's excitatory zone receives ON bipolar cell input, whereas itsinhibitory zone receives OFF starburst cell input.An OFF starburst dendrite's excitatory zone receives ON bipolar cell input, whereasits inhibitory zone receives input from another OFF starburst cell.An OFF starburst dendrite's excitatory zone receives OFF bipolar cell input,whereas its inhibitory zone receives input from another OFF starburst cell.Two of the above are correct. While recording intracellularly from a DS RGC, you drift a light spot firstrightward, and then leftward, and observe that the light spot causes spikingduring the leftward motion but not the rightward motion. Suppose you wantto apply drugs so that the light spot would evoke spikes in both rightwardand leftward directions. Which of the following would you apply?A cocktail of antagonists for ionotropic glutamate receptors.A cocktail of antagonists for ionotropic GABA receptors.A glycine receptor antagonist.O Any of the above would work.

Alcohol affects the central nervous system by enhancing the effect ofGABA at its receptor. GABA binds to GABA receptors and opensligand-gated Cl–channels. However, chronic consumption of alcoholmakes the GABA receptor less sensitive to both alcohol and GABA,which increases alcohol dependence as well as alcohol withdrawalsymptoms, such as anxiety, tremors, and insomnia. Benzodiazepinesenhance the binding of GABA molecules to their receptors and thus aresometimes used to treat people with alcohol withdrawal symptoms. Forsynapses involving GABA, predict the effect of alcohol on the postsynaptic membranes; compare the effect of chronic alcohol consumption onthe postsynaptic membranes in these synapses; and predict the effect ofbenzodiazepine treatment on the degree of polarization of postsynapticmembranes in people who are experiencing alcohol withdrawalsymptoms.

In the knee jerk, contraction of quadriceps is accompanied by relaxation of the opposing flexor muscles. The contraction of quadriceps is mediated by a monosynaptic reflex (as stated above), and the relaxation of the antagonists is due to a dual connection reflex. The relaxation of antagonists is mediated by an inhibitory transmitter released by interneurones - these are called the la inhibitory interneurones, How do we name a dual connection reflex? monosynaptic disynaptic tricynaptic polysaccharide

Local anesthetics "block" the action potential and therefore do not allow "pain" information to proceed to the brain and spinal cord. In the presence of these molecules (local anesthetics) 'threshold' is essentially "ignored". The molecules most logically work by: 23. a. Decreasing the intracellular [potassium] b. Blocking the opening of the voltage-gated potassium channels c. Decreasing the extracellular [sodium] d. Blocking the opening of the voltage-gated sodium channels
