To study the effects of raw and cooked garlic on the opening of TRP channels, researchers isolated 10 neurons containing the TRP channels. Droplets of raw garlic extract were added to five of the neurons, and droplets of cooked garlic extract were added to the remaining five neurons. Both groups of neurons were monitored to see whether the channels were opening in response to the different types of garlic extracts. TRP channels were activated and opened in the neurons treated with raw garlic extract but not in the neurons treated with cooked garlic. Identify the manipulated, responding, and controlled variables in the experiment described above. Types of Variables Manipulated Responding Controlled Number: Answer Answer Answer Answer Variable: Number of extract droplets Number of neurons Addition…arrow_forwardSensory neurons in the homeostatic pathway demonstrate spontaneous activity. For a neuron, what does spontaneous activity mean? Describe a mechanism by which a neuron would demonstrate spontaneous activity. (Good inspiration would be to look at the mechanism of behavior and effect on membrane potentials of HCN channels in the heart.) Assuming these sensory neurons used FM communication, how do they encode increases in stimulation and also to encode decreases in stimulation of receptors?arrow_forward
- Which of the following would you NOT expect with respect to variation in neural conduction velocity? Neural conduction speed increases over developmental time as Schwann cells synthesize myelin sheaths, insulating neurons Neural conduction velocity is higher in invertebrate species with insulating sheaths functionally equivalent to vertebrate myelin Neurons and species with larger axon diameters should have greater conduction velocities Neural networks with greater serial processing (i.e., lines of connecting neurons) should have greater neural conduction velocities. The thyroid hormones (triiodothyronine and thyroxine) have a range of roles in regulating growth and metabolism. Thyroid hormones act throughout the body to regulate protein synthesis, long bone growth, and neural maturation. This represents an ______ effect of thyroid hormones. At the same time, through some unknown mechanism, application of thyroid hormones results in an immediate reduction in body temperature, which…arrow_forwardIf a geneticist were to genetically modify a mouse strain that shows reduced calcium channel activity in presynaptic terminals and they were to measure the synaptic facilitation from these synapses, what would they expect to find?

- How does a postsynaptic cell undergo long-term potentiation or depression? •The receptors can be made more sensitive or less sensitive through post-translational modification (phosphorylation, ubiquitination, palmitoylation, etc) •The number of receptors can be increased by translating more of the relevant protein or proteins, or by transporting existing receptors to the synapses •The receptors can be made less numerous by removing them from the synapse •all of the above Need answer in short asap!!arrow_forwardDiscuss Concepts In the 1930s and 1940s, prefrontal lobotomy, in which neural connections in the frontal lobes of both cerebral hemispheres were severed, was used to treat behavioral conditions such as extreme anxiety and rebellious- ness. Although the procedure calmed patients, it had side effects such as apathy and a seriously disrupted personality. In view of the information presented in this chapter, why do you think the operation had these effects?arrow_forwardName two cell functions regulated by DAG and IP3arrow_forward
