Subject: Neurophysiology
The neuron for this experiment is in a bath with [K+] = 2 mM and [Na+] = 150 mM.
Calculate the Nernst Equilibrium potential for each ion.
What is your estimate for the gNa and for gK? If you are more comfortable, use PNa and PK. Remember, these values should be between 0 and 1.
What is the resting membrane potential for this cell?
Draw an action potential for this neuron in this solution. Keep in mind that this neuron is in unusual solutions. Label each axis and indicate inward and outward currents. Be absolutely certain to label the peak voltage and threshold for the AP!
Given the steps shown below, which of the following is the correct sequence for transmission at a
chemical synapse?
1. neurotransmitter binds with receptor
2. sodium ions rush into neuron's cytoplasm
3. action potential depolarizes the presynaptic membrane
4. ion channel opens to allow particular ion to enter cell

- The correlation between neurons can explain the basis of the synaptic modification, that is, how much they can connect to each other or if they are not synchronized, how much they can lose or weaken their connections. • Draw a picture of an excitatory synapse such as glutamatergic with its receptors between the pre- and postsynaptic neuron. • Briefly explain what mechanisms involve neuronal plasticity and why synapses are enhanced or weakened.arrow_forwardActivation of which pathway leads to a disinhibition of the thalamus and increased cortical activation?

- Discuss Concepts In the 1930s and 1940s, prefrontal lobotomy, in which neural connections in the frontal lobes of both cerebral hemispheres were severed, was used to treat behavioral conditions such as extreme anxiety and rebellious- ness.

Mitofusin2 (Mfn2) is a mitochondrial protein. What is its apparent role? Can you think of a reason why overexpression could be protective against a stress?

- How does a postsynaptic cell undergo long-term potentiation or depression? •The receptors can be made more sensitive or less sensitive through post-translational modification (phosphorylation, ubiquitination, palmitoylation, etc) •The number of receptors can be increased by translating more of the relevant protein or proteins, or by transporting existing receptors to the synapses •The receptors can be made less numerous by removing them from the synapse •all of the above Need answer in short asap!!arrow_forwardWhich of the following would you NOT expect with respect to variation in neural conduction velocity? Neural conduction speed increases over developmental time as Schwann cells synthesize myelin sheaths, insulating neurons Neural conduction velocity is higher in invertebrate species with insulating sheaths functionally equivalent to vertebrate myelin Neurons and species with larger axon diameters should have greater conduction velocities Neural networks with greater serial processing (i.e., lines of connecting neurons) should have greater neural conduction velocities.
