Question
Chapter 49.2, Problem 3CC
Summary Introduction
To determine: The site of damage in coma and paralysis patients in relation to the location of the pons and midbrain.
Concept introduction:
The parts of brain stem include the midbrain, pons, and medulla. The brain stem plays a key role to pass the information between the peripheral nervous system, midbrain, and forebrain. Large scale body movements’ instructions are carried by the axons from the central nervous system (CNS) to the medulla.

WhAt IF? Suppose that a person with damage to thehippocampus is unable to acquire new long-term memories. Why might the acquisition of short-term memoriesalso be impaired?
WHAT IF? Ouabain, a plant substance used in some cultures topoison hunting arrows, disables the sodium-potassium pump.What change in the resting potential would you expect to seeif you treated a neuron with ouabain? Explain.
API
Compare and contrast short-term memory and long-term memory relative to the storage capacity and the duration of each.

- Watch this video (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/basalnuclei2) to learn about the basal nuclei (also known as the basal ganglia), which have two pathways that process information within the cerebrum. 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. What is the end result on the thalamus, and therefore on movement initiated by the cerebral cortex?arrow_forwardWatch 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_forwardConsider the circuit from Q5 (above). We want to add another inhibitory neuron to this circuit to increase the likelihood that neuron D will have an action potential. With which cell (A, B, C or D) should our new inhibitory neuron make a synapse to make it more likely that the post - synaptic neuron will have anaction potential?The diagram below shows a simple neural circuit with three pre - synaptic cells labelled 'A', 'B' and 'C', and a post - synaptic cell labelled 'D ' (see image below). Assume neurons A and B each have outputs of +2 and neuron C has output of -1.arrow_forward
- 16. Neurons that process similar kinds of information are organized into what are called “neuron or neuronal pools.”Different ways of processing information occurs in these pools, depending on their function, and how they are organized. What are the two types of processing of information described below?___________________________________One neuron stimulates the next, which stimulates the next, and so on; the most clear cut example of this type of processing would be innate reflexes.___________________________________ This type of process can activate many pathways simultaneously, and is essential for high-level processes such as complex thinking and problem solving.arrow_forwardSubject: Neurophysiology What is an EPSP and what is an IPSP?
