Chapter 37, Problem 8TYU
Summary Introduction
To explain:
The general effect that will be expected to occur on the behavior of an individual if a drug mimics the activity of GABA in the CNS.
Concept introduction:
GABA is known as gamma-aminobutyric acid that is a neurotransmitter that reduces the nerve cells activity in the nervous system.

QUESTION 22
Which one is not the best way to describe necessary "threshold" as "sensitivity" declines with age?
Individuals with lower sensitivity also have a lower threshold or tolerance for stimulation.
O
As sensitivity goes down, the threshold must be higher to compensate.
Individuals with a low-sensitivity, need more stimulation than people with high-sensitivity.
none of the above
QUESTION 23
The reward pathway is a neuronal pathway implicated in addiction to recreational drugs. Explain the role of the reward pathway in behaviour related to reward and motivation and discuss the anatomical regions and molecular and cellular pathways involved. Explain how the reward pathway is involved in drug addiction and give examples of experimental approaches that are being used to study drug addiction. Use figures and diagrams to illustrate your answer.

- Anxious people sleep poorly. Which of the following is most likely true? (check all that apply) there is a positive correlation between sleep and anxiety. there is a negative correlation between sleep and anxiety. It is clear from this association that anxiety causes poor sleep. the directionality problem could be an issue in this example. the third variable problem could be an issue in this example. The determination of causality depends on the strength of the correlation. The determination of causality depends on the direction of the correlation.arrow_forwardIf you will be discussed how synapse work and its feature, what will you say?

- Researchers investigating the effect of exercise on cognitive functions conducted a con- trolled experiment in which rats were randomly assigned to sedentary (Sed), low-intensity exercise (Low-Ex), or high-intensity exercise (High-Ex) groups. During this exercise regi- ment, rats were also trained to navigate a specialized water maze, and their escape la tency, the time it took them to escape the maze, was recorded. The results of this experi- ment are depicted in the figure below. escape latency (sec) 100 80 60- 40- 20 0- day 10 day 11 Escape latencies during the training phase Based on the data above, day 12 (b) Identify the control group in the experiment. sed -- low-ex -- high-ex (a) Identify the dependent and independent variables in the experiment. day 13 Respond to each part in 3 to 4 complete sentences. (c) Compare the effects of low-intensity and high-intensity exercise on the rats' cognitive func- tion during the training period.arrow_forwardReward-modulated spike-timing dependent plasticity (RSTDP) can be modelled as STDP with an eligibility trace. RSTDP provides an explanation for how a reward that occurs a short time after the stimulus (i.e., outside the STDP learning window) can nevertheless cause a change in the synaptic strengths. The activities of two neurons, labelled A and B, are being recorded and are observed to have similar average spiking rates. Both neurons are observed to change their firing rates in response to both a stimulus and a reward. Describe how the timing of the delivery of the reward could be manipulated so that, during the learning period, the activity of neuron A increased but the activity of neuron B decreased.arrow_forwardWe know that short term habituation is due to changes in the presynaptic sensory neuron.

Neurotransmitter is released in packets of equal size The postsynaptic response to a single neurotransmitter molecule is referred to as the quantal size The frequency distribution of response amplitudes can be fit by a Poisson function Miniature end-plate potentials are all approximately the same size One vesicle of neurotransmitter corresponds to a single packet (quantum)arrow_forwardH5arrow_forward
- How can one experimentally differentiate the function of different frontal areas (M1, FEFs, premotor, SMA, PFC) in action control? Answers: a. Examine neural activity using a task design that separates external cue, internal goals, and movement b. Apply TMS to different frontal areas at different time points of a task requiring performance of self-guided and sensory-guided movements c. Separate animals into different groups and lesion different areas and test their ability to control behavior d. Both B & C e. All of these are correctarrow_forwardSome researchers hypothesize that activity in certain regions of the brain represents the subjective value of an object being considered (meaning that the activity level in the brain region corresponds to how valuable the object is). (a) name a brain region that might represent the subjective value of an object being considered, such as a donut, and explain a research finding that supports your answer. (b) name a general factor that would influence the response of this brain region when a person views the donut (and state whether it would increase activity in the brain region or decrease it)arrow_forward1. How is dopamine affected by chocolate and cocaine similar and different? 2. What causes regular cocaine users to chase that “initial high”? 3.
