Summary Introduction
To determine:
The reason that the polio vaccine is given to the children even though most neurons of the body are irreplaceable.
Introduction:
Polio virus is the member of the picornaviridae. It is an RNA virus that causes infection that result in the disease polio. Polio is a disease in which the polio virus damages the nerves that leads to the paralysis of the limbs. It is spread through the fecal–oral route.

A child receiving an oral vaccine against polio, a disease caused by a virus that infects neurons. Given that the body cannot readily replace most neurons, why is it important that a polio vaccine stimulate not only a cell-mediated response but also a humoral response? Write your answer on a separate sheet of paper. Limit your answer to 10sentences.
We talked in one of our first lectures about how we began to understand the potentiation of an action potential down an axon by stimulating and recording electrical changes in a giant squid neuron. Which neuroscience method enabled that discovery?
Immunohistochemistry
Electrophysiology
Transgenic mouse lines
Chemogenetics
DRAW IT Draw the following apoptotic pathway, whichoperates in human immune cells. A death signal isreceived when a molecule called Fas binds its cell-surfacereceptor. The binding of many Fas molecules to receptorscauses receptor clustering. The intracellular regions of thereceptors, when together, bind proteins called adaptorproteins. These in turn bind to inactive molecules ofcaspase-8, which become activated and then activatecaspase-3. Once activated, caspase-3 initiates apoptosis.
