Textbook Question
Chapter 14, Problem 3TYC
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?

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?
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? *

- 31. Elon Musk has hired you as the chief neuroscientist for Neuralink! He knows distressingly little about the brain and wants you to figure out how to implement some of his ideas. First, he'd like you to improve the state of Neuralink's implants for controlling prosthetic limbs and other external devices. Rather than collect information about individual motor commands, where should the implant be placed to collect information about high-level movement goals? a. Parietal cortex b. Spinal cord c. Primary motor cortex d. Hypothalamus e. Hippocampusarrow_forwardIn PET scans, red areas are brain regions that are most active, while blue, yellow, and green areas are least active. Figure 13.24 shows PET scans of normal brain activity (left) and (right) of the brain of a person while using cocaine. The frontal lobes of the brain hemispheres are toward the top of the scans. Their neurons play major roles in reasoning and other intellectual functions. Looking at these scan images, how do you suppose cocaine may affect mental functioning?arrow_forwardYou identify a new neuron in the fruit fly's brain and find it contains acetylcholine. 1) Based on this identification, this neuron is (a) Excitatory, (b) Inhibitory, (c) Neither excitatory nor inhibitory, or (d) Either excitatory or inhibitory 2) Briefly explain your answer above. 3) How would you figure out your answer above?

- Halfway up the stairs, you stepped on something extremely sharp and withdrew your foot in pain. You hopped around on one foot, rubbing the other to ease the pain, and then sat on the sofa. This incident is a simple event and may have happened to you. In terms of the neural pathways, this reaction requires a complex neural net. Explain what happened?arrow_forwardYou see a patient who has Guillian-Barre Syndrome, a disorder where the body destroys Schwann cells. What do you hypothesize happens to the patient's knee-jerk reflex? It will be decreased because saltatory conduction won't occur It will be exaggerated because the patient will experience increased sensitivity in the dorsal root ganglia. It will be exaggerated because conduction velocity in the multipolar neuron is increased It will be decreased because the spinal cord has decreased white matter.arrow_forwardIs 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.arrow_forward

- A motor neuron in the spinal cord typically receives input from neurons that originate in several different regions of the brain. Is this an example of convergence or divergence?arrow_forwardYou are observing in a Physical Therapy clinic and a patient presents with back pain. The images suggest that they have a disc herniation at the disk between L3 and L4. The PT you are working with believes that the disk is putting pressure on the spinal nerve that contains the afferent and efferent neurons that control the patellar tendon reflex. Using the appropriate anatomy and physiology, describe the afferent and efferent portions of this stretch reflex pathway, including a description of the receptor and what it responds to. If you performed a patellar tendon reflex, describe whether you would expect to see an enhanced or diminished response and explain why.arrow_forwardThere are three basic levels of somatic motor control: reflexes, subconscious control, and conscious control. Review these three levels of control by answering the questions below: 1. Which process is the fastest? 2. Which process is the slowest? 3. Which process is the simplest (has the fewest synapses)? 4. Which process is the most complex? 5. Which process are you aware of? 6. A decision made by nuclei in the brain, but not the spinal cord, is which process? 7. A decision made by the spinal cord is which process 8. A decision made by the cerebral cortex is which process?arrow_forward
