NTT Exam Questions & Answers 2024/2025 Synapses - ANSWERSFundamental aspect of all brain functionbecause they transmit information between neurons (and to muscle)• act as information filters based on theirindividual properties• one of these properties is the release probability, Pr - average number of vesicles released per spike• can change their properties: both in the short-term and long-term dysfunction and a target for many drugs - short-term changes (depression,facilitati...

Psychology Scientific study of human behavior and mental processes. Answers philosophical questions about human nature. Uses methods borrowed from other disciplines. Wilhelm Wundt German. Set up first psychology lab. Was a Structuralist. Studied how people sense and perceive world around them. Structualists Believed that consciousness was made of basic elements. combined in different ways to produce different perceptions. They wanted to discover the form or elements of menta...

NSC EXAM #1 QUESTIONS & ANSWERS 2024/2025 the big picture of synaptic transmission - ANSWERSthumbtack causes mechanically-gated Na+ channels to open, sending an action potential down the axon using voltage-gated Na+/K+ channels, causing voltage-gated Ca2+ channels to open and activate snare proteins that bind synaptic vesicles to the membrane and causes release of NT importance of synapses - ANSWERSrich diversity allows for complex behavior; place where most psychoactive drugs act; defec...

What is Neurotransmission?:  Neuron → Neuron/Cell/Organ/Muscle/Etc. Communication  Point of ‘Communication’ = The “Synapse” Terminology:  Pre-Synaptic Neuron: The ‘Sender’ Neuron  Synaptic Cleft: The ‘Gap’ Between cells  Post-Synaptic Cell: The ‘Receiver’ Cell  Synaptic Potential: The ‘Drive’ for Transmission (that mobilizes the synaptic vesicles to pre-synaptic membrane). Neuron-Neuron Neurotransmission:  Note: Neurons Synapse with Each ...
