PSC 101 Study Guide - Midterm Guide: Monocular Deprivation, Ligand-Gated Ion Channel, Homeostasis
Document Summary
On the exam, these will be worth 2. 5 points each. In general, the action potential is first initiated at the: synapse, dendrites, axon hillock, node of ranvier. Which of the following is not involved in chemical synaptic transmission: electrical conduction across the synaptic cleft, neurotransmitter binding to autoreceptors, influx of calcium at the presynaptic membrane, neurotransmitter reuptake. The structures of the limbic system are strongly implicated in: emotion and learning, sensation, motor control, sympathetic nervous system control. Which of the following is not part of the limbic system: hippocampus, fornix -- important for connecting hippocampus. Extends from the hippocampus to mammillary body: striatum imp for dopamine - related stuff (part of basal ganglia (basal ganglia not part of limbic system, mammillary bodies. Inhibitory postsynaptic potentials differ from excitatory postsynaptic potentials most significantly in their: direction of membrane polarization, degree of capacitance, ease of elicitation, overall amplitude.
