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.

Students have asked these similar questions
.”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?
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
Consider 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.

[ P QUESTION 22 Which one is not the best way to describe necessary "threshold" as "sensitivity" declines with age? Individuals with lower sensitivity also have a lower threshold or tolerance for stimulation. O As sensitivity goes down, the threshold must be higher to compensate. Individuals with a low-sensitivity, need more stimulation than people with high-sensitivity. none of the above QUESTION 23arrow_forwardPlease explain Correctly Asaparrow_forward1 Why is your brain symmetrical (meaning that the left and right sides look alike)?

- 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_forwardNeuroscience: Basal Ganglia and Cerebellum 1) Describe the two additional pathways through the basal ganglia (hyper direct andindirect) 2) Describe the role of dopamine signaling in the basal ganglia Please provide pictures with your explanation.
