- Below is a figure from a 2015 paper that characterizes the effect of venom from the spider Selenocosmia hainana on voltage-gated sodium channels. According to the I-V curve (current-voltage curve) in Figure panel B, what is the effect of the venom on voltage-gated sodium channels? Current is on the y-axis and voltage is on the x-axis during an action potential. The figure legend denotes the concentration of the venom being applied.

However, older adults often do not show deficits when performing tasks during their everyday lives. (1) If laboratory performance by older adults is so different in terms of neurology as well as cognitive and emotional processing, how do they cope so well in everyday life? (2) How do differences between normal and pathological aging translate into differences in everyday functioning?arrow_forward

What are an afferent neuron and efferent neuron? What are efferent components of the facial nerve and their actions? 2. Under certain circumstances, axons in the peripheral nervous system can regenerate after sustaining damage. Why is axonal regeneration in the central nervous system much less likely? 3. At a healthy myoneural junction, acetylcholine is responsible for stimulating muscle activity. What mechanisms are in place to prevent the continuous stimulation of a muscle fiber after the neurotransmitter is released from the presynaptic membrane?arrow_forwardLooking at Fig. 3a and 3b, how do you know that 3a has a significant difference and that Fig. 3b does not? In the euthyroid HT induces ultrastructure changes in frontal synapses section of the results section the authors wrote “Quantitatively, the ultrastructure of the frontal lobe neurons revealed lower synaptic density (Fig. 5c), fewer presynaptic vesicles (Fig. 5d), shorter active zone length (Fig. 5e), thinner postsynaptic densities (Fig. 5g), and decreased synaptic curvature (Fig. 5h) in the HT mice compared with those in the Con mice.” Based on this quote would you expect nerve transmission to be faster or slower in HT mice?arrow_forward

- The dorsal hollow nerve cord is which of the following? Question 25 options: a) A hollow tube that develops from ectoderm. Develops into the central nervous system. b) An elongation of the posterior portion of the body. Use for locomotion in fish, or balance in some terrestrial vertebrates. c) A tissue that produces thyroid type hormones. d) A flexible, rod-shaped structure that grows from mesoderm. Gives support to an animal in embryonic development of chordates or for entire life depending on the species. e) An opening in the pharynx.
