Assume we can record spatially related neural activity from the entorhinal cortex and hippocampus of human. You are on vacation in London and have a map to find the Tower of London (you also do not have a smartphone). What spatially related activity would you see in the entorhinal cortex as you are walking around London with your map with Cartesian coordinates? What activity pattern would you see in the hippocampus as you were moving toward your destination?

You are in the library and just found a place in the reading room. You settle down to study when you get a call and must step outside the library to take the call. After finishing the call you are going back to the reading room and your brain helps you navigate to the location in the library that you chose for yourself. Which one(s) of the following is/are correct? * A.1) The basic neural code involved here is the pattern of neuronal firing rate and its match with the stored pattern in your brain A.2) Your exact spatial locus from different spatial boundaries would be indicated by boundary detecting cells (neurons) A.3) The basic neural code involved here is the pattern of neuronal firing rate and its mismatch with the stored pattern in your brain A.4) Boundary detecting neurons would indicate your outbound path A.5) The place cells (neurons) would index your current position in the…
When expert pianists listen to familiar, well-practiced music, they imagine the finger movements, and the finger area of their motor cortex becomes active, even if they are not moving their fingers (Haueisen & Knösche, 2001). If we regard those neurons as another kind of mirror neuron, what do these results imply about the origin of mirror neurons?
Suppose that a neuroanatomist performed two experiments on an animal with the same basic brainstem structure as a human’s: In experiment 1, he selectively transected (cut across) the pyramids on the anterior side of the medulla oblongata; and in experiment 2, he selectively transected the gracile and cuneate fasciculi on the posterior side. How would the outcomes of the two experiments differ?
Imagine you are studying the activity of neurons in a mouse that is awake and interacting with other mice. If you knew that an excitatory post-synaptic potential (EPSP) occurred, you _______ predict whether it would increase or decrease the likelihood of a particular behavior The neurons you are studying could be releasing ___________ because it is the major excitatory neurotransmitter in the brain that generally depolarizes postsynaptic neurons. If you wanted to study what happens when neurons are unable to make this particular neurotransmitter you could use ___________, which is a method that prevents your gene of interest from being translated. Group of answer choices A) Could not; GABA; Electron microscopy B) Could; Glutamate; Anterograde tracing C) Could; GABA; Immunohistochemistry D) Could not; Glutamate; Antisense oligonucleotides
Let’s examine a neural pathway that involved three (3) neurons in sequence: one propagates an action potential from threshold stimulus of receptor to spinal cord; second propagates action potential superiorly to brain stem; and third propagates action potential from brain stem to part of cerebral cortex involved in perceiving the stimulus. Which of the following is correct classification of these neurons: a. all three are presynaptic b. first is presynaptic, other two are postsynaptic c. first and second are presynaptic, third is postsynaptic d. first and second are presynaptic, second and third are postsynaptic e. all three are postsynaptic
Is the shape of the lateral geniculate nucleus mostly similar in the mouse brain, or does it look different compared to the sheep brain? What about the size of the brain area relative to the total size of the brain? Is the brain area larger, smaller, or about the same size as it is in the sheep brain? *This is only one question, just asked in different ways for detail. Thanks in advance. Basically, I would like to know if brain parts differ from size (proportion) between mammals. In this case, the size between a sheep or mouse brain.
Based 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 memory
Which 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. The thyroid hormones (triiodothyronine and thyroxine) have a range of roles in regulating growth and metabolism. Thyroid hormones act throughout the body to regulate protein synthesis, long bone growth, and neural maturation. This represents an ______ effect of thyroid hormones. At the same time, through some unknown mechanism, application of thyroid hormones results in an immediate reduction in body temperature, which…
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.
Could you please draw the Paypez circuit as a loop and not inside the brain? The circuit goes through the following neural pathways: Hippocampal formation (subiculum) → fornix → mammillary bodies → mammillothalamic tract → anterior thalamic nucleus → cingulum → entorhinal cortex → hippocampal formation.
Alcohol addiction is a condition in which a person experiencesdependent on alcohol and difficult to control its consumption. On the other hand, excessive alcohol consumption in the long term can cause disturbances in brain performance, including disturbances in memory, attention, coordination, and locomotion. How does alcohol affect the functioning of nerve cells and the central nervous system? What is the mechanism that occurs? Based on information from the literature, analyze what will happen to coordination and locomotion in someone who is addicted to alcohol and consumes large amounts of alcohol over a long period of time.
What evolutionary advantage does tight oligodendrocyte myelination in the brain provide and which protein is responsible? slower conduction velocities in the spinal cord, PLP/DM20 greater space for neuron growth and density in the cranium, PLP/DM20 greater space for glia and blood vasculature in the cranium, PO perception of distant objects, PO/DM20
