Medium Spiny Neurons
The brain’s most common neuron type quietly controls movement by inhibiting others
4 hours ago
0
How do the two primary types of medium spiny neurons contribute differently to motor control?
Both D1-type and D2-type MSNs facilitate movement by activating the same pathway.
D1-type MSNs facilitate movement through the direct pathway, while D2-type MSNs inhibit movement via the indirect pathway.
Medium spiny neurons are primarily excitatory and do not influence movement control.

Blood-Brain Barrier
A microscopic gatekeeper fiercely controls what enters the brain’s sanctuary
18 hours ago
0
What is the primary reason the blood-brain barrier selectively allows some substances to pass while blocking others?
To allow all blood components to freely enter the brain
Because the brain does not require nutrients from the bloodstream
To protect the brain from harmful substances while supplying essential nutrients

What is the primary controversy surrounding Aβ plaques in Alzheimer's disease research?
That Aβ plaques only occur in healthy aging brains without any disease association
Whether Aβ plaques are the cause of neuronal damage or a byproduct of the disease process
That Aβ plaques are formed inside neurons rather than extracellularly

Brain Circuits
Brain circuits form vast networks that enable learning, memory, and complex behaviors.

0
How does the interconnection of multiple neural circuits affect brain function?
It causes the brain to function as isolated units without communication.
It enables complex behaviors and cognitive functions by integrating different neural activities.
It only serves to slow down brain processing due to excessive connections.

Retinal Ganglion Cells
Retinal ganglion cells act as selective gatekeepers, filtering visual data before it reaches the brain
27 hours ago
0
How do amacrine cells influence the function of retinal ganglion cells in visual processing?
They create functional subunits that help ganglion cells detect small movements, refining the visual information sent to the brain.
They directly transmit raw photoreceptor signals to the brain without modification.
They inhibit retinal ganglion cells from sending any visual information to the brain.

Nerve Impulse Transmission
Variations in nerve signal speed reveal hidden neurological disorders
39 hours ago
0
Why does damage to myelin significantly reduce nerve conduction velocity?
Because myelin generates the electrical impulses in nerves.
Because myelin slows down impulses to protect nerve cells from damage.
Because myelin enables rapid impulse transmission by allowing signals to jump between nodes.

Angular Gyrus
A single brain region juggles language, math, and spatial skills in a complex neural dance
46 hours ago
0
How does the angular gyrus illustrate the brain's ability to integrate multiple cognitive functions?
By serving as a hub that connects language, numerical, and spatial processing, enabling complex cognitive tasks.
By functioning solely as a visual processing center without involvement in language or math.
By being responsible only for motor control and not involved in higher cognitive functions.

Visual Perception
Contrast Sensitivity Function
Vision's secret map reveals why some patterns vanish while others pop into focus
3 days ago
0
Why does the contrast sensitivity function peak at intermediate spatial frequencies rather than at very fine or very coarse patterns?
Because the eye cannot detect any patterns finer than intermediate frequencies.
Because absolute luminance, not relative contrast, determines visual sensitivity at all frequencies.
Because the human visual system is most sensitive to mid-sized patterns, balancing detail and overall shape detection.

How does myelination affect the function of axons in the nervous system?
Myelination decreases the speed of electrical impulses to conserve energy.
Myelination has no effect on the speed or efficiency of nerve signal transmission.
Myelination increases the speed of electrical impulse conduction along the axon.
