True or False for each of the following: A. a neuronal synapse, facilitation of a post -synaptic response results because of an accumulation of calcium ions from previous pre-synaptic cell action potentials. B. In general, chemical synapses are limited because the signal they produce is “all-or-none” and cannot be significantly modified to reflect a difference in sensory. C. Temporal summation describes the cumulative EPSPs/ IPSPs generated in a post-synaptic cell through more than one synapse.

Answer and do explain plz. True or False and why? If a drug was developed that can act specifically as an antagonist at presynaptic D2 receptors, this would result in decreased dopamine release.
Which statement(s) is/are true regarding the release of glutamate? (Select all that apply) Question 4 options: A) It acts by opening up Cl channels B) It can cause an EPSP in the postsynaptic membrane of a typical cortical neuron C) It can cause an EPSP in the postsynaptic membrane of a retinal neuron D) It can cause an IPSP in the postsynaptic membrane of a retinal neuron
Give typed full explanation of both questions otherwise leave it 1) You generate action potentials in a neuron bathed in solution in a petri dish by applying a threshold level depolarizing stimulus near its axon hillock. If the solution surrounding the neuron contained 5mM K+, 150 mM Na+, and 0 mM Ca2+ which of the following would you expect? a. the neuron would not release neurotransmitter from the axon terminal b. the neurons action potentials would have an unusually long duration c. the neuron would have a resting membrane potential of zero d. the neuron would not be able to propagate action potentials down the entire length of the axon 2) If blood pressure decreases, which of the following would allow glomerular filtration rate to remain unchanged? a. dilation of both the efferent and afferent arterioles b. dilation of efferent arterioles and constriction of afferent arterioles c. constriction of efferent arterioles and dilation of afferent arterioles d. constriction of both the…
Explain how the signal transmission at a synapse in an individual with Parkinson's disease is different than an unaffected individual. List the steps involved in an action potential moving from the axon terminal of the pre-synaptic neuron to the dendrites of the post-synaptic neuron. Explain how the process is different in individuals affected with Parkinson's disease.

Answer the question A and fulfill the task B:A) Will this neuron generate the efferent nervous impulses if the amplitude of single EPSP and IPSP appeared on the axonal hillock`s membrane equals 1 mV? Why?B) Name the state of this neuron and name the type of summation
Please answer all of the following questions in your own words, thank you: this assignment is on the nervous system and nervous tissue. Q1: Explain the differences between different types of graded potentials? Also, Categorize 4 major neurotransmitters by chemical type and effect? Q2:
Looking 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?
Briefly describe how silent glutamatergic synapses become activated during long term potentiation, describing all of the key neurotransmitters and their post-synaptic receptors and events that give rise to the process.
Which of the following is TRUE regarding the absolute and relative refractory periods of the action potential (AP)? A. The absolute refractory period may be overcome if enough excitatory stimulation is applied to the neuronal membrane. B. The absolute refractory period is due the closing of the activation gate of voltage gated sodium channels at the peak of the AP. C. The relative refractory period is due to the closing of the activation gate of voltage gated potassium channels during the overshoot phase of the AP. D. The relative refractory period is due the closing of the inactivation gate of voltage gated sodium channels . E. All of the above statements are FALSE.
Your current LTP experimental protocol is as follows: - Isolate a ‘silent synapse’ with only NMDA receptors in the postsynaptic membrane. - Induce LTP via low frequency presynaptic stimulation coupled with postsynaptic depolarization. You’re able to verify that the synapse has been potentiated, as there are now strong post-synaptic responses to presynaptic stimulation. But you’re unable to prove conclusively that this change was AMPA receptor-mediated. Explain how you will design an experiment to monitor the trafficking of AMPA receptors into the membrane during LTP using the electrophysiological tag, and how this technique works. Explain how your method utilizes 1) Visualization and 2) Electrophysiological recordings to quantify trafficking of AMPA receptors. Provide an example of how electrophysiological data can be interpreted support the hypothesis that LTP induction leads to the trafficking of AMPA receptors into the postsynaptic site.
Post-tetanic Potentiation in synapses :-a- is due to increased Ca ++ concentration in postsynaptic neuronsb- is due to increased Ca ++ influx into presynaptic neuronsc- results from slow prolonged stimulation of synapsed- causes fatigue of the synapse
