8 Briefly define or describe 3 of the following 5 (4 points each): Name a. Pheromone: olfactory stimulus used for chemical communications between conspecifics (reproduction, mate selection, emotional state) 38. Glomerulus: location where olfactory receptor neurons expressing the SAME receptor synapse with cells of olfactory bulb. It is marked by many synaptic connections between rich branching of terminal and dendrites. 39. calcium-calmodulin-dependent protein kinase (CaMK): a protein kinase activated by elevations of internal Ca2+ concentrations. It can phosphorylate a protein channel. May be activated by calcium released by the IP3 second messenger pathway. 40. striate cortex: primary visual cortex (area 17; V1) where most visual sensory input first arrives at the cortex for processing. a. negative afterimage: image that occurs after a prolonged visual stimulus is removed. In color vision, red or green afterimage will be seen after simulation of green or red, respectively. Blue and yellow also form opposite afterimages. Used as early evidence of color-opponent processes. b. Essay (15 points):ampa and NMDA receptors are often found together on the post synaptic membrane. Compare and contrast the characteristics of each receptor. What is the advantage for a neuron to have these two receptors next to each other (use the back of the page if necessary)? AMPA (α-amino-3-hydroxyl-5-methyl-4-isoxazole-proionate) and NMDA (N-methyl-Daspartate) receptors are two of the superfamily of glutamate receptors. Both receptors are ligand binding, ionotropic, and allow Na+ and K+. NMDA also has a Ca2+ current. AMPA receptor has a fast, short-duration EPSP. NMDA has a voltage-dependent current and does not produce much of an EPSP current at Vm of 65 mv because Mg2+ blocks the channel. If Vm is depolarized the inward current (Na+) increases, peaking between 40 and 20 mv. I R occurs at about 0 mv with outward (K+) current increasing at higher Vm. Having the two channels together in the same synapse has the advantage that molecules neurotransmitter (Glu) can bind to both types of receptors at the same time. The EPSP from activation of AMPA will depolarize the membrane, dislodging the Mg2+ from the NMDA receptor,. The resulting EPSP from the NMDA receptor can be much longer lasting.
