- What is one of the many benefits of having both direct and periphery vision at your disposal? A) It serves to entertain us by making optical illusions fun. B) There is no real survival benefit to having direct and periphery vision. C) There is a survival benefit where periphery vision catches sudden movements and direct vision depicts greater detail. D) Having periphery vision is the reason why we see colors, which have survival benefits.arrow_forwardYou are tasked with devising an experimental approach for studying local spiking interneurones (LSINs) that respond to touch stimulation of the middle legs in locusts. Your experiments need to address three questions: i. Do some or all LSINs receive input from both middle legs? ii. Do some LSINs receive inhibitory tactile input? iii. Do the receptive fields of different LSINs overlap? The recording equipment available to you permits the use of only one recording electrode at a time. Specify and justify your choice of recording site and recording technique (intra- or extracellular), and briefly explain your strategy for addressing questions i–iii.arrow_forwardWhere Thermoreceptors are located ?arrow_forward

- Which of the following best explains how knowledge of the developing human embryo and its gill arches helps to make sense of the complicated nerves of the face and the structures they innervate? A) Because structures that develop from the same gill arch are all innervated by the same nerve which also develops from that arch. B) Because each gill arch controls one of the developing tissues such that the first arch develops all of the bones of the head, the second arch all the nerves of the head, the third arch the muscles, and the fourth arch the skin. C) Because the first and second gill arches control the development of the nerves of the face, while the second and third control the development of the bones, muscles, and skin. D) Because humans are mammals, they do not have gill arches as embryos.arrow_forwardHow does the nervous system code information about stimulus intensity?arrow_forwardWhat is the role of quorum sensing in responding to environmental changes and external stimuli?arrow_forward
