Textbook Question
Chapter 28, Problem 8TYK
Using microelectrodes, a researcher recorded nerve signals in four neurons in the brain of a snail, called A, B, C, and D in the table below. A, B, and C can all transmit signals to D. In three experiments, the animal was stimulated in different ways. The number of nerve signals transmitted per second by each of the cells is recorded in the table. Write a short paragraph explaining the different results of the three experiments.
Data from E. R. Kandel and L. Tauc, Input organization of two symmetrical giant cells in the snail brain, Journal of Physiology 183: 269–86 (1966).

Can measures of sensory acuity be obtained through filaments and biothesiometer? Explan why or why not
Do you tink changing the frequency of the biothesiometer vibrations would affect your measured results? Why?
Which settings affect the frequency of stimulation, which affect amplitude
An effector neuron is a motor neuron that transmits impulses from the CNS to an effector (muscle or gland).In an experiment, it was determined that the effector neuron for muscle fibre 1 had a threshold level of –5 mV. The effector neuron for muscle fibre 2 had a threshold level of –16 mV.
An electrical probe was used to stimulate these two effector neurons of the muscle fibres.
Which of the following rows correctly identifies the reaction of each muscle fibre based on the applied stimulus voltage?

Suppose that we sample a signal at fS = 250 Hz and get alternating values of -2 and 6 V.
(a) What do we know about the frequency of the original, continuous signal?
Please explain :) thank youuuu. Pictures would also be nice if can.
