This image shows how cells in the medial superior olive could hypothetically calculate interaural time differences. If cell A receives a signal from the left and right cochlea simultaneously, where is this sound likely to be coming from? Given your answer to the first part of this question, do you expect there to be greater excitation in the left or right lateral superior olive? 0 degrees; no difference in excitation between the right and left lateral superior olive 180 degrees; greater excitation in the right lateral superior olive -90 degrees; greater excitation in the left lateral superior olive 90 degrees; greater excitation in the right lateral superior olive

Question 33options: Medial geniculate nucleus to inferior colliculus to auditory cortex. Auditory cortex to inferior colliculus to medial geniculate nucleus.

a) choose one part of the auditory sensorineural mechanism--the inner ear or retrocochlear auditory pathway--and describe how sound is transduced through that part of the auditory system, and (b) comment on how the anatomy of that part of the ear enables normal auditory sensorineural physiology.
Define sensory localization. Why would the error distance tend to decrease with successive trials?
Receptor cells that are neurons with sensory dendrites are faster than receptor cells that are separate from neurons. Why is that, and why might that be important in, for example, the sense of touch versus vision?
(a) choose one part of the auditory conductive mechanism--the outer ear or middle ear--and describe how sound is transduced (changed from acoustic energy to mechanical energy) through that part of the auditory system, and (b) comment on how the anatomy of that part of the ear enables normal auditory conductive physiology.
Applying a pressure stimulus to the fluid-filled capsule of an isolated Pacinian corpuscle causes a brief burst of action potentials in the afferent neuron, which ceases until the pressure is removed, at which time another brief burst of action potentials occurs. If an experimenter removes the capsule and applies pressure directly to the afferent neuron ending, action potentials are continuously fired during the stimulus. Explain these results in the context ofadaptation.
Some somatic senses are fast-adapting and others are slow-adapting. Two different types of receptors are listed below. Explain the advantage using an example, for it to be slow or fast. Then explain, using an example, for why it would be harmful if it was the opposite type. Temperature receptor for cold temperatures, fast-adapting 2.Muscle-spindle proprioceptor, slow-adapting
Which is true regarding somatotopic organization? Select one: a. Certain areas of the body have much higher representation in the primary somatosensory cortex than other areas, and these regions will have finer tactile discrimination. b. The representation of a given area of the body in the primary somatosensory cortex is directly proportional to the size of that body area (e.g., the right index finger has less representation than the right thigh). c. The receptive fields for somatosensory neurons are circular and relatively consistent in size across areas of the body, but areas of the body with the finest tactile discrimination have many more neurons representing them in the primary somatosensory cortex. d. There is equal representation of all areas of the body in the primary somatosensory cortex
what statement/s is true about Neuronal Pathways for Olfaction a. Axons from the olfactory neurons extend as olfactory nerves to the olfactory bulb, where they synapse with mitral and tufted cells. b. The olfactory bulb neurons can modulate output to the olfactory tracts. c. The olfactory tracts terminate in the sensory and temporal cortex. = sensory should be olfactory d. The lateral olfactory area is involved in the conscious perception of smell, the intermediate area with modulating smell, and the medial area with visceral and emotional responses to smell.
