Document Summary
Chapter 6 communication along and between neurons section synaptic plasticity p. Chapter 10 muscles and animal movement section motor control in arthropods p. 413. The modification of neuronal function as a result of experience. what we see in synapses is the activity of multiple axons synapsing on other axon terminals and not the postsynaptic membrane. Ca2+ levels will build on top of what is already there. a decline in the tendency to respond to a stimulus due to repeated exposure: i t can then stimulate the tail with electrical shock and then touch the gill = sensitization: increase in response to a gentle stimulus after exposure to a strong stimulus: one interneuron connected to both sensory and motor neuron as well as another facilitating interneuron. heterosynaptic facilitation: this slow chemical synaptic transmission occurs to deactivate a subtype of.
