Which of the following statements is NOT true in terms of the repairing damaged brains?

A Adult neurons can sometimes from new connections

B If one input to a target area is lost, the remaining inputs sometimes send out new branches from their axons to colonize the vacant space

C Although transplanted neurons taken from a brain at the right stage of development will grow in an adult host brain, they will not restore normal function

D Transplants of dopamine cell bodies alleviate some of the symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease in human patients

Review Detailed Answer

B It is impossible to use an evolutionary explanation for modularity in the brain

C Both (a) and (b)

D Neither (a) nor (b)

Review Detailed Answer

Correct Answer: Different aspects of a visual stimulus appear to be analysed by different modules in the brain

Long-term potentiation and long-term depression are processes demonstrating that:

A Experience can modify a neuron’s responses

B Experience can modify a person’s potential

C Experience can modify a person’s mental health

D Experience cannot modify a neuron’s responses

Review Detailed Answer

Correct Answer: Experience can modify a neuron’s responses

Which of the following statements regarding the NMDA receptor is?

A The NMDA receptor is a particular subtype of glutamate receptor

B Sodium entry into cell is one of the triggers for the development of LTP

C NMDA-dependent LTP can only develop in a cell that has been depolarized and then receives a further input

D Experiments have show the blockade of the NMDA receptor by the drug AP5 prevents the development of LTP

Review Detailed Answer

Correct Answer: Sodium entry into cell is one of the triggers for the development of LTP

Regarding the electrical activity of neurons, which of the following is?

A Neurons are integrators; they can have a vast number of different inputs, but they produce just a single output signal, which they transmit to their targets

B There is a small voltage difference between the inside and the outside of the neuron in it resting state, known as the action potential

C The inputs to neurons are tiny amounts of chemical neurotransmitters

D In the steady state neurons, there is an active pumping of ions across the neuronal membrane

Review Detailed Answer

Correct Answer: There is a small voltage difference between the inside and the outside of the neuron in it resting state, known as the action potential

Neurotransmission, and thus brain function, can be disrupted by:

A Antagonists

B Agonists

C A and B

D Synapses

Review Detailed Answer

Correct Answer: A and B

Which one of the following do we know to be true about inhibitory neurotransmitters?

A Inhibitory neurotransmitters increase the excitability of a cell

B The classic inhibitory neurotransmitter is glutamate

C Increasing chloride ion flow into the interior of the cell decreases the cell’s negativity

D Increasing the cell’s negativity is called hyperpolarization

Review Detailed Answer

Correct Answer: Increasing the cell’s negativity is called hyperpolarization

If we surveyed a sample of neuroscientists, which part of the brain would they report as most preferable to lose?

A A cubic centimeter of glial cells because the damage would be less disabling

B A cubic centimeter of subcortex because the damage would be less disabling

C A cubic centimeter of spinal cord because the damage would be less disabling

D A cubic centimeter of cortex because the damage would be less disabling

Review Detailed Answer

Correct Answer: A cubic centimeter of cortex because the damage would be less disabling
