Textbook Question
Chapter 38.2, Problem 3CC
WHAT IF? Two groups of individuals have CNS damage. In one group, the damage has resulted in a coma (a prolonged state of unconsciousness). In the other group, it has caused total paralysis (a loss of skeletal muscle function throughout the body). Relative to the position of the midbrain and pons, where is the likely site of damage in each group? Explain.

1. WILL UPVOTE, just pls help me answer the following and explain completely. Thanks!
a) What are the current challenges of CNS regeneration and plasticity research?
b) What are the neutrophic factors of neural regeneration and plasticity research
6. Suppose you examine two groups of individuals with CNS danmage. In one group, the damage has resulted
in a coma (a prolonged state of unconsciousness). In the other group, it has caused total paralysis (a loss of
skeletal muscle function throughout the body. Relative to the position of the midbrain and pons, where is
the likely site of damage in each group? Explain
.”Neural Transmission is an electrochemical process”. With reference to the statement, what chemical changes cause the action potential? What chemical actions create the neuron’s resting potential?

Often, the action potentials occur so rapidly that watching a screen to see them occur is not helpful. A speaker is powered by the signals recorded from a neuron and it pops each time the neuron fires an action potential. These action potentials are firing so fast that it sounds like static on the radio. Electrophysiologists can recognize the patterns within that static to understand what is happening.

- Neuroscience Question: Which of the following statements ACCURATELY describe spinal cord organization. α-motor neurons are organized from lateral to media such that those found towards the medial section of the spinal cord controls the distal muscles. Lumbar spinal cord enlargement is observed where neurons that innervate the legs and feet are located Neuronal cell bodies (somas) of neurons that innervate single muscles are only found in a single spinal cord segment. Muscles of the trunk are represented medially while muscles of arms and hands are represented laterally Group of answer choices 1, 2, 4 2, 3, 4 2, 4 4 only 1,2,3,4 Here is my reasoning: Please you be the judge if this is correct! α-motor neurons are organized from lateral to medial such that those found towards the medial section of the spinal cord control the distal muscles. This is inaccurate. α-motor neurons are organized from medial to lateral in the spinal cord, with those medially controlling axial…arrow_forwardConsider the circuit from Q5 (above).

As shown in this video, the indirect pathway is the longer pathway through the system that results in decreased activity in the cerebral cortex, and therefore less motor activity. The indirect pathway has an extra couple of connections in it, including disinhibition of the subthalamic nucleus.

- Watch the video (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/2brains) titled The Man With Two Brains to see the neuroscientist Michael Gazzaniga introduce a patient he has worked with for years who has had his corpus callosum cut, separating his two cerebral hemispheres. A few tests are run to demonstrate how this manifests in tests of cerebral function. Unlike normal people, this patient can perform two independent tasks at the same time because the lines of communication between the right and left sides of his brain have been removed. Whereas a person with an intact corpus callosum cannot overcome the dominance of one hemisphere over the other, this patient can. If the left cerebral hemisphere is dominant in the majority of people, why would right-handedness be most common?arrow_forwardWhich of the following could be elements of cyto architecture, as related to Brodmanns microscopic studies of the cerebral coitex? connections to the cerebellum activation by visual stimuli number of neurons per square millimeter number of gyri or sulciarrow_forwardACCORDING TO: New Nerve Cell for the Adult Brain By: Gerd Kempermann and Fred Gage What is the previous evidence that stem cells did exist in the adult brain?
