Suppose that an arthropod such as a locust or crayfish hasabout 105neurons, a fish 108, and a rat 1010. Is the behaviorof the fish 1000 times more complicated than that of thearthropod? Why or why not? What does the difference innumber of neurons suggest about how these different animalsgenerate patterns of behavior?

Many neurotoxins have been used extensively in physiological studies of neurons. When comparing tetrodotoxin found in puffer fish and batrachotoxins from poison dart-frogs, the former had no effect on a neurons resting potential but completely stopped its action potential, whereas the later toxin immediately initiates depolarization of a neuron but prevents repolarization. Can your group hypothesize how these toxins affect the nerve transmission differently?
