Step 1
The nervous system is one of the vital systems of a body. It is a system of nerves which carry information within the body from one place to another. The nervous system helps in the perception of senses, controls vital processes, helps us to think and memorize and also controls involuntary processes.

O The lateral line system in zebrafish is electrically stimulated by the presence of dissolved narcotics, which causes them to swim towards the water with the highest concentration. O As herbivores, zebrafish are able to obtain nutrition by ingesting cannabinoids. O The central nervous system of humans and zebrafish have homologous neural receptors, neurotransmitters, and signaling pathways. O Zebrafish seek drugs in response to positive conditioning; they are trained to associate drugs with food rewards. O Zebrafish do not have a central nervous system elaborate enough to become addicted to psychoactive substances.arrow_forward

- How is the brain an example of an emergent property? Can technology sometimes lead us in the wrong direction? Examples? Does technology cause us to make incorrect conclusions or vast generalizations (other examples)?arrow_forwardNeed help Different behavior patterns can be created by interactions of one or more pattern generators - in response to light touch, the sea slug, Tritonia, exhibits reflexive withdrawal of the body away from the stimulus (i.e. the sea slug “cringes”). However, a stronger mechanical stimulus induces the release of serotonin from specific neurons within the central nervous system and subsequent swimming behavior (i.e., an escape response). Both withdrawals of the body and swimming are driven by the same central pattern generator circuitry. This illustrates which important characteristic of central pattern generators? A. Model central pattern generators are not as complex as their real-world counterparts. B. Their rhythmic output is an emergent property of the neural network. C. Their output is not fixed but can be modifiedarrow_forwardWhat is the "coincidence" in the Jeffress neural coincidence model? Two sound sources have the same frequency and amplitude at the same time.
