Explain how an experiment using optogenetics could demonstrate the concept of “fire together, wire together” Predict whether a given change in receptors or neurotransmitter release is likely to strengthen or weaken a synaptic connection. Hypothesize how a channel or another molecule in a plant or animal would detect outside stimuli such as touch, chemicals, or light. Predict how perturbations in light levels, retinal, opsins, and cation channels in photoreceptors affects the photoreceptor’s membrane potential and neurotransmitter release. Given information about a neuron’s responses to stimuli, hypothesize what its receptive field might be.arrow_forwardExplain how sleep drive and the alerting signal work to together to allow animals to stay awake and sleep for extended periods of timearrow_forwardThe first neurons are predicted to have evolved in ________ in the form of ________ ________. a. dragon flies, visual detection b. cnidarian, cortical processing c. cnidarian, sensory cilia d. grass hopper, antennaearrow_forward

This on/off signaling is an evolutionary adaptationof animals that must sense and act in a complex environment.It is possible to imagine a nervous system in which the actionpotentials are graded, with the amplitude depending on thesize of the stimulus. Describe what evolutionary advantage on/off signaling might have over a graded (continuously variable)kind of signaling.arrow_forward

When comparing tetrodotoxin found in puffer fish and batrachotoxins from poison dart-frogs, the former had no effect on a neurons resting potential but completely stopped its action potential, whereas the later toxin immediately initiates depolarization of a neuron but prevents repolarization. Can your group hypothesize how these toxins affect the nerve transmission differently?arrow_forward
