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.
Bob suffers a heart attack and clutches his chest. How is sensory and motor information propagated in this event
Group of answer choices
both sensory and motor information from his arms are propagated via spinal nerves
multipolar neurons carrying motor information to the muscles of his arm exited the dorsal root of the spinal nerve
unipolar neurons carrying sensory information from his heart entered the ventral root of the spinal nerve
somatic sensory neurons carried the pain signals from his heart to the primary sensory cortex
The ventral tegmental area exhibits burst firing in response to which of the following environmental stimuli?
RPE
RP/CS
"Extremely salient stimuli (surprising or even shocking, something went bang )"
All of the above
Only primary rewards such as food or sex (as in the four Fs )
Which of the following is a principal afferent of hippocampus that releases acetylcholine and may be involved in spatial memory?
sensory cortex

After the activation of voltage-gated calcium channels, the neuron releases ACh onto the muscarinic receptors on the surface of the highly folded area of the muscle fibre. The preganglionic nerve fibre releases ACh onto the postganglionic nerve fibre, which then releases ACh onto the cholinergic receptors of the motor end plate. Chemically gated monovalent cation channels on the motor end plate are activated once the motor neuron releases ACh onto the nicotinic receptors on the surface of the muscle cell. The AChE enzyme enhances the amount of ACh released into the neuromuscular junctionarrow_forwardcan someone explain in simple terms how exactly the cerebellum communicates with the motor cortex when executing a voluntary movement? thanksarrow_forward

- 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?arrow_forwardSubjecting neurons in the perforant pathway to tetanus stimulation strengthens activity in the dentate gyrus, indicating that long-term potentiation does not occur in the hippocampus. the hippocampus is involved in memory. synapses in the brain do not behave like Hebbian synapses. synapses in the brain can behave like Hebbian synapses.arrow_forwardFollowing administration of an opiate drug, "pain signals" are prevented from getting out of the spinal cord via two mechanisms. One inhibits spinal cord neurons that communicate with the parafascicular nucleus of the thalamus. What is the other way that pain signals are stopped? dendro-dendritic synapses that enhance IPSI's in somatosensory neurons. the disinhibition of long axons that start in the spinal cord and influence free nerve endings directly. O a feedback loop to the periaquedictal grey of the midbrain, which enhances neural activity in that area. axo-axonic synapses that prevents somatosensory neurons from releasing neurotransmitter.arrow_forward
