Chapter 16, Problem 9RQ
Summary Introduction
To identify:
The cellular mechanisms that are involved in memory formation and storage.
Concept introduction:
Memory refers to the bits of information that has been gathered through experience and stored in the brain. The memories are of two types, short term memories and long term memories. The memory is a higher order function of the brain.

- Many neurotoxins have been used extensively in physiological studies of neurons. When comparing tetrodotoxin found in puffer fish and batrachotoxins from poison dart-frogs, the former had no effect on a neurons resting potential but completely stopped its action potential, whereas the later toxin immediately initiates depolarization of a neuron but prevents repolarization. Can your group hypothesize how these toxins affect the nerve transmission differently?arrow_forwardA certain bacterium has a gene that encodes for a neurotoxin. This neurotoxin is highly specific for the synaptic end of the nerve, where it blocks the release of acetylcholine, a chemical necessary for transmission of nerve impulses across synapses. What is the chemical composition of this neurotoxin?arrow_forward34.
