Question
Chapter 46.1, Problem 4R
Summary Introduction
To review:
The relation of the results of the two-point spatial discrimination test with the Figure 1.
Given:
The primary somatosensory cortex of the brain is shown in the Figure 1:
Figure 1: Primary somatosensory cortex.
Introduction:
The two-point spatial discrimination test is used to determine the ability of a particular area of the skin to differentiate two nearby objects touching the skin as separate objects and not as one object. It decides the person’s ability to identify two closely located stimuli.

The fact that the owl failed to strike the mouse, but struck the leaf tied to it suggests that the owl was using acoustic cues for target localization. а. b. They supported the conclusion that the owl used thermal detection to hunt because the owls still struck a dummy target made of a leaf which was colder than the surrounding ground. С. The arena filled with sand had scattered leaves in it to mimic the owl's wild habitat. d. Their results remained inconclusive as to whether the owls used their sense of smell because the dummy target made of a leaf which the owls struck did not have any distinct smell. Between a moving leaf on sand vs a moving mouse on sand, the owl would strike them both equally as targets. е.arrow_forward

This lab examines the relationship between the absorbance of light by a solution at 595 nm and the concentration of the Coomassie Blue dye-BSA protein complex in the solution. State whether the following descriptions of the lab experiment are valid or not, and explain why you say Yes or No: a. The experiment would be significantly more accurate if absorbance readings were recorded for a range of wavelengths, not just for 595 nm b. The experiment has limited accuracy because it does not account for the absorbance of light by the other components (components that are not the dye-protein complex, such as excess dye that is not bound to any protein) of the solution. c. The absorbance reading measures practically all the protein content in the solutionsarrow_forwardHow does the fMRI work? What structures can be seen?
