Textbook Question
Chapter 38.2, Problem 3CC
WHAT IF? Two groups of individuals have CNS damage. In one group, the damage has resulted in a coma (a prolonged state of unconsciousness). In the other group, it has caused total paralysis (a loss of skeletal muscle function throughout the body). Relative to the position of the midbrain and pons, where is the likely site of damage in each group? Explain.

6. Suppose you examine two groups of individuals with CNS danmage. In one group, the damage has resulted
in a coma (a prolonged state of unconsciousness). In the other group, it has caused total paralysis (a loss of
skeletal muscle function throughout the body. Relative to the position of the midbrain and pons, where is
the likely site of damage in each group? Explain

- Visit this site (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/neurolab) to see a virtual neurophysiology lab, and to observe electrophysiological processes in the nervous system, where scientists directly measure the electrical signals produced by neurons. Often, the action potentials occur so rapidly that watching a screen to see them occur is not helpful. A speaker is powered by the signals recorded from a neuron and it pops each time the neuron fires an action potential. These action potentials are firing so fast that it sounds like static on the radio. Electrophysiologists can recognize the patterns within that static to understand what is happening. Why is the leech model used for measuring the electrical activity of neurons instead of using humans?arrow_forward1 Why is your brain symmetrical (meaning that the left and right sides look alike)? You have a left and right motor cortex, a left and right hippocampus, a left and right cerebellum, and so on. In each case, the left side is a mirror image of the right side (just as, for example, your left eye is a mirror image of your right eye). Can you think of any reason why your brain is symmetrical in this way?arrow_forwardPROVIDE ME HANDWRITTEN SOLUTION WITH BETTER EXPLANATIONarrow_forward

Check all that apply. Check All That Apply It regulates the activity of cardiac and smooth muscle and glands. It is composed of sympathetic and parasympathetic systems.

As shown in this video, the indirect pathway is the longer pathway through the system that results in decreased activity in the cerebral cortex, and therefore less motor activity. The indirect pathway has an extra couple of connections in it, including disinhibition of the subthalamic nucleus. What is the end result on the thalamus, and therefore on movement initiated by the cerebral cortex?arrow_forward
- Watch the video (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/2brains) titled The Man With Two Brains to see the neuroscientist Michael Gazzaniga introduce a patient he has worked with for years who has had his corpus callosum cut, separating his two cerebral hemispheres. A few tests are run to demonstrate how this manifests in tests of cerebral function. Unlike normal people, this patient can perform two independent tasks at the same time because the lines of communication between the right and left sides of his brain have been removed. Whereas a person with an intact corpus callosum cannot overcome the dominance of one hemisphere over the other, this patient can. If the left cerebral hemisphere is dominant in the majority of people, why would right-handedness be most common?arrow_forwardWhich of the following could be elements of cyto architecture, as related to Brodmanns microscopic studies of the cerebral coitex? connections to the cerebellum activation by visual stimuli number of neurons per square millimeter number of gyri or sulciarrow_forwardACCORDING TO: New Nerve Cell for the Adult Brain By: Gerd Kempermann and Fred Gage What is the previous evidence that stem cells did exist in the adult brain?
