Concept explainers
To explain: The conclusion that can be drawn about the possible source of the sleep inducing factors from Person H’s 1913 experiment on sleep-inducing factors.
Introduction: Body of living organisms responds to different situations in one or another manner. For some situations, physical responses are given by the body, while for other situations, physiological changes takes place in the body. Different
To explain: The control measures that Person H have taken while conducting his experiment on sleep-depriving factors (during 1913).
Introduction: Taking adequate amount of rest and sleep is very important for all the living beings. Inadequate sleep can generate different types of physiological responses in the body that can affect the normal functioning of the body. Different chemicals generated in the body during shortage of sleep affects an individual’s body.

- Some common symptoms of MS are vision problems, dizziness and vertigo, and difficulty walking. How are these symptoms a result of the effect on neural transmission you described above? List which brain regions are likely impacted in each of the three symptoms described above.arrow_forwardWhich of the following describes the disinhibition in the direct pathway of the basal ganglia? Question 6 options: A) Subthalamic nucleus inhibits internal segment of the globus pallidus which disinhibits substantia nigra B) Substantia nigra inhibits striatum which disinhibits the subthalamic nucleus C) Striatum inhibits internal segment of the globus pallidus which disinhibits thalamus D) Striatum inhibits external segment of the globus pallidus which disinhibits thalamusarrow_forwardIf you begin an EEG recording of brain wave patterns a few hours before someone wakes up starting when they are in deep sleep, what is the most likely pattern of waves you’re going to see from deep sleep to waking? Beta, Theta, Theta interrupted by K-complexes, then Delta Delta, Theta interrupted by K-complexes, Theta, then Beta Theta interrupted by K-complexes, Delta, Theta, then Beta Beta, Theta interrupted by K-complexes, Theta, then Deltaarrow_forward
- Denise had a prescription for Xanax to treat her anxiety and help her sleep.What is the mechanism of action of Xanax and other benzodiazepines?How would the benzodiazepines be beneficial in treating Denise’s seizure?arrow_forwardWhat is true of prenatal effects on brain plasticity? Parents' experiences before conception can influence their children's later brain development. Positive experiences influence prenatal brain development, whereas negative experiences do not. Negative experiences influence prenatal brain development, whereas positive experiences do not. Gene expression cannot be altered by prenatal experiences but can be altered after a child is born.arrow_forwardDescribe evidence showing that the hippocampus is involved in the consolidation of short-termmemory. After long-term memory is established, why may there be no need for hippocampal involvement?arrow_forward
- Which of the following statements best describes the axonal projection patterns of upper motoneurons located in the primary motor cortex? Upper motoneurons located in the primary motor cortex are cholinergic and their axons project directly to muscle fibres to control voluntary muscle movements. Upper motoneurons located in the primary motor cortex are glutamatergic and their axons project to the thalamus, brain stem and directly to muscle fibres to control voluntary muscle movements. Upper motoneurons located in the primary motor cortex project to the spinal cord where they synapse with cholinergic lower motoneurons that control voluntary muscle movements. Upper motoneurons located in the primary motor cortex project to neurons in the cerebellum, thalamus and brain stem that in turn contact lower motoneurons in the spinal cord to control voluntary muscle movements.arrow_forwardHow can 5-HT2a activation be linked to dream-like experiences and hallucinations, but serotonin is low during REM sleep? Is it that although serotonin is low, of what is activated is the 5-HT2a receptor?arrow_forwardBased on the evidence from recordings of single neurons in the hippocampus and entorhinal cortex in rodents by Nobel Laureates John O'Keefe, May-Brit Moser and Edvard Moser, one would predict that patients like H.M. (whose bilateral medial temporal lobes were removed) would have problems with Short-term memory Semantic memory Spatial memory Object memory Face memoryarrow_forward
- In the domains of Schizophrenia, what is the type of hallucinations takes place in the movie of A Beautiful mind (2001)? Please specify two to three TYPE hallucinations.What part in the movie did you observe this manifestation? PLEASE describe in what scene did you see the hallucinations part.TYPES OF HALLUCINATIONS- Auditory,- Visual- Tactile,- Gustatory,- Olfactory- Please specify two to three TYPE OF HALLUCINATIONarrow_forwardRefer to the direct pathway of the basal ganglia. What part of the frontal cortex is targeted by the direct pathway? What are the effects of the direct pathway on the thalamus and frontal cortex? Explain the circuitry of the direct pathway. Begin with the inputs and end with its effect on the cortex.arrow_forwardWhat are the three temporal stores for memory? Why does neuroscience see fit to add a fourth store (that we call "remote" memory)? What seems to be the difference between permanent and non-permanent forms of memory? Think about the neural substrates involved and how the brain "handles" these memories.arrow_forward
