- The reticular activating system is stimulated by all the following, except :-a- epinephrineb- serotoninc- acetylcholined- norepinephrinearrow_forwardWhich of the following statements best describes the axonal projection patterns of upper motoneurons located in the primary motor cortex? Upper motoneurons located in the primary motor cortex are cholinergic and their axons project directly to muscle fibres to control voluntary muscle movements. Upper motoneurons located in the primary motor cortex are glutamatergic and their axons project to the thalamus, brain stem and directly to muscle fibres to control voluntary muscle movements. Upper motoneurons located in the primary motor cortex project to the spinal cord where they synapse with cholinergic lower motoneurons that control voluntary muscle movements. Upper motoneurons located in the primary motor cortex project to neurons in the cerebellum, thalamus and brain stem that in turn contact lower motoneurons in the spinal cord to control voluntary muscle movements.arrow_forwardClassify the following neurotransmitters as excitatory or inhibitory: Acetylcholine Serotonin GABA Norepinephrine Glutamate Dopaminearrow_forward
- Fentanyl is an opioid similar to morphine, except, according to the CDC, it is up to 50 times stronger than heroin and 100 times stronger than morphine. Discuss the effects of fentanyl on specific receptors and how the transmission of action potentials is altered. Be sure to focus only on how the action potential transmission is impacted by the drug. Be sure to provide an APA citation.arrow_forwardSpastic paralysis (resulting from the failure of muscles to relax), induced by the neurotoxin strychnine, occurs when this poison blocks the binding of: the excitatory neurotransmitter acetylcholine to post-synaptic sodium channels the excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate to post-synaptic calcium channels the excitatory neurotransmitter serotonin to post-synaptic potassium channels the inhibitory neurotransmitter glycine to post-synaptic chloride channels the inhibitory neurotransmitter melatonin to post-synaptic bicarbonate channelsarrow_forwardFollowing administration of an opiate drug, "pain signals" are prevented from getting out of the spinal cord via two mechanisms. One inhibits spinal cord neurons that communicate with the parafascicular nucleus of the thalamus. What is the other way that pain signals are stopped? dendro-dendritic synapses that enhance IPSI's in somatosensory neurons. the disinhibition of long axons that start in the spinal cord and influence free nerve endings directly. O a feedback loop to the periaquedictal grey of the midbrain, which enhances neural activity in that area. axo-axonic synapses that prevents somatosensory neurons from releasing neurotransmitter.arrow_forward
- Which of the following neurotransmitters serve as the body's natural painkiller? Acetylcholine Endorphins Dopaminearrow_forwardTemporal summation refers to: summation of action potentials in the temporal cortex. summation of postsynaptic potentials on a neuron occurring closely together in time. summation of postsynaptic potentials at different places on a neuron at the same time. summation of postsynaptic potentials in the temporal cortex.arrow_forwardThe following diagram represents a typical serotonergic synapse. Where, specifically, do antidepressants work (e.g. SSRI)? Neurotransmitter Neurotransmitter transporter Аxon Synaptic vesicle terminal Voltage- gated Ca?+ channel Synaptic cleft Receptor Postsynaptic density Dendrite Neurotransmitter Synaptic Vesicle Neurotransmitter transporter (aka Reuptake transporter) Receptor O All of the abovearrow_forward
- Short-term memory, like remembering a phone number, is stored as a Long Term Potentiation (LTP) of the synapse. Describe what has changed at the synapse when it has undergone LTP.arrow_forwardIdentify the inhibitory neurotransmitter which opens chloride ion channels. gamma amino butyric acid acetylcholine tubocurarine strychnine glutamate Spastic paralysis (resulting from the failure of muscles to relax), induced by the neurotoxin strychnine, occurs when this poison blocks the binding of: the excitatory neurotransmitter acetylcholine to post-synaptic sodium channels the excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate to post-synaptic calcium channels the excitatory neurotransmitter serotonin to post-synaptic potassium channels the inhibitory neurotransmitter glycine to post-synaptic chloride channels the inhibitory neurotransmitter melatonin to post-synaptic bicarbonate channelsarrow_forwardWhen Botox (botulinum toxin) is injected, it paralyzes muscles locally.
