Describe briefly how the unique structure of a neuron relates to its function in the body. Discuss the physiology of a nerve impulse. Explain how neuron can maintain a resting potential. What ways are neurons similar to other cells? (a) What is a pseudounipolar neuron? (b) What role do ...
Step 1: Threshold is Reached Axon at Resting Potential - fluid inside the axon is mostly negatively charged with positive on the outside (polarized) An impulse is triggered in the neuron’s dendrite when stimulated by pressure, heat, light or a chemical messenger from another neuron (stimulus ...
While all of the above will likely be true, several challenges lie ahead that will complicate the picture, as well as a range of opportunities that hold the potential to revolutionize health to not just be "more of the same," but something radically different from today. In fact, if we ...
Since a neuron type usually has multiple projection targets and a neuron within that type can choose a subset of those targets either specifically or randomly, a single-target-site Retro-seq assay is often insufficient to resolve the target specificity of a transcriptomic type except in special ...
This suggests that a large proportion of the genes that were DE in response to cold acclimation were different between D. montana and D. virilis. We also observed that many more genes were DE in D. virilis than D. montana. One potential reason for this may be that D. virilis is less ...
Since the brain was found to be somehow flexible, plastic, researchers worldwide have been trying to comprehend its fundamentals to better understand the brain itself, make predictions, disentangle the neurobiology of brain diseases, and finally propose
these neuroendocrine cells maintain a tonic release of catecholamines under resting conditions, massively discharge intravesicular transmitters in response to stress, or adequately respond to moderate stimuli. In order to adjust the secretory response to the stimulus, the adrenal chromaffin cells have an ...
The findings, reported earlier this year inNeuron, may have implications for understandinghuman language. The number of syllables per second falls within a relatively narrow range across all human languages, Yackle says. Perhaps, he suggests, that’s due to constraints imposed...
What is an action potential? What function does it play in the ability of a neuron to communicate? Why is it that the electrical impulse cannot pass from neuron to muscle cell? What role do alpha motor neurons play in muscle spindles? Explain how neuron can maintain a resting potential. Wh...
