2 Name Part 1: True or False. Circle (T) if the statement is true or (F) when the statement is false. (2 points each, 30 points total) 1. (T) Multiple EPSPs arriving together at different locations on the dendritic tree can summate and help bring a neuron to threshold. 2. (F) The most important factor determining whether a receptor-operated ion channel is inhibitory or excitatory is whether the permeant ion s reversal potential is positive or negative. 3. (F) The two main families of neurotransmitter receptors are cationic and anionic. 4. (F) NMDA receptors allow passage of large amounts of magnesium and calcium when activated. 5. (F) Cocaine acts by blocking GABA A receptors. 6. (T) Peptide neurotransmitters are often released together with nonpeptide transmitters. 7. (T) Protein kinase C is activated by a lipid. 8. (F) The dorsal columns refer to the grey-matter columns on the dorsal side of the spinal cord. 9. (F) In the primary somatosensory cortex, the amount of cortex dedicated to each body part is proportional to its surface area. 10. (T) Regarding the conduction velocity, the axons arising from the peripheral nociceptors include the slowest conducting of the peripheral sensory afferents. 11. (F) Referred pain results when cutaneous sensory neurons send aberrant axonal branches to visceral organs. 12. (T) The placebo effect can be blocked by nalxone, an opioid receptor antagonist. 13. (T) Glycine is commonly used in the spinal cord where it hyperpolarizes the post-synaptic cell. 14. (T) The best stimulus for an on-center ganglion cell is light in its center and darkness in its surround. 15. (T) With respect to mechanosensory receptors, the quality of a stimulus (what it represents and where it is) is determined by both the relevant receptors being activated and the neuron s targets in the brain. 2
3 Name Part2: Choose the best answer for the following multiple-choice questions. (2 points each, 40 points total) 1. Which of the following statements about postsynaptic currents at the neuromuscular end plate is false? A. Depolarizing currents can be recorded from outside-out patches of postsynaptic membrane. B. Individual channels tend to stay open for no more than a few msec. C. Acetylcholine can induce openings of ligand-gated ion channels. D. The end plate potential is due to the opening of thousands or millions of channels. E. The end plate channels show a regenerative opening pattern that propagates an action potential along the length of the muscle fiber. 2 When a muscle is held at a voltage of 0 mv at the neuromuscular end plate, acetylcholine no longer produces a current because A. the acetylcholine receptor channels all close instantly at 0 mv. B. an influx of sodium is balanced by an equal efflux of potassium. C. the membrane conductance for each permeant ion is 0 at 0 mv. D. at 0 mv, the potassium ions lodge in the receptor channel and block the influx of sodium. E. the Nernst potential for both sodium and potassium are 0 mv in muscle fibers. 3. Activating end plate acetylcholine receptor channels produces 0 current at 0 mv, but is still able to elicit action potentials because A. the depolarization occurs so quickly that the membrane potential goes far positive to 0 mv and produces an overshooting action potential. B. there are enough acetylcholine receptors to propagate the action potential along the length of the muscle fiber. C. the receptor is also permeable to calcium, which binds to other channels to elicit action potentials. D. depolarization of the membrane to 0 mv is sufficient to bring nearby membrane regions, which contain voltage-gated sodium channels, to threshold. E.

6 Name Which of the following statements about color vision processing is false? A. Because there are several different color types of cones, they are sensitive to dimmer illumination levels than is the population of rods. B. Cones (in humans) come in three different colors : blue, green, and red (or short, medium, and long). C. Different wavelengths of light can produce different patterns of activity in the cone population as a whole. D. Information from specific color cones can be selectively relayed to specific regions of a retinal ganglion cell s receptive field. E. All of the above. 19.

B Blocked by atropine 2. A, B activation can lead to an EPSP. 3. B Slowest response 4. B Uses a signal transduction signaling mechanism 5. A, B Glutamate receptors 6. B Catecholamine receptors 6
7 Name Part 4: Explain typical defects and/or symptoms of patients with the following lesions. Please limit your answer to 2-3 sentences, draw pictures if you need to. (4 pts each, 12 pts total) 1. A man has a stroke that damages his right Gracile nucleus completely but spares his Cuneate nucleus and spinal cord. This man would lose sub-pain-threshold mechanosensory information from his lower limbs, on the right side of his body. Because the Cuneate nucleus and Trigeminal nuclei are spared, his sensation for the upper limbs, trunk, neck, and face would be normal. 2. A man has an injury that bisected the right optic nerve (Explain what would happen to both the visual field and to his pupillary light reflex of both eyes). Visual Field: The right optic nerve carries all light sensory information from the right eye. Although this eye would be blind, the left eye can compensate for the majority of the visual field, leaving him blind in only his right peripheral visual field. Pupillary light reflex: The pupillary light reflex responding to light shed to the right eye is gone for both eyes. The pupillary light reflex responding to light shed to the left eye is present for both eyes. 3. A man keeps getting hit by cars when crossing the street because he can t judge their speed very well. He knows that cars are there and can tell what color and shape they are. The middle temporal area (MT) is the higher visual region responsible for processing motion information, but not color and shape information. Alternatively, damage to magnocellular RGCs or their associated LGN layers are also acceptable. 7
8 Name Part 5. Answer the following questions within the space provided. (4 pts each, 12 pts total) 1. After a sunburn a normal shower feels painful. What is this called? What is the cause for it? Hyperalgesia. Due to the release of stuff from the damaged cells, such as prostaglandins, bradykinin, histamine, serotonin, ATP can increase the sensitivity of nociceptors by interacting with the channel (directly or indirectly) and making it open easier, or by interacting with other receptors on nociceptive fibers to potentiate activity of TRP channels. 2. Describe Na+ and K+ ion movements during EPC and EPP at the end plate. Why is the end plate potential excitatory? 3. We can see changes in illumination over a wide range of light intensities. What is the molecular mechanism for this light adaptation? At low levels of light more channels close per photon. As light levels increase it takes more photons to close the same number of channels. This is due to the lowering of intracellular Ca2+. Ca2+ can come in through Na+ channels. When they close in response to light stimulation, Ca2+ levels decrease. The decreased Ca2+ concentration activates guanylyl cyclase which makes more cgmp, which opens channels that normally wouldn t be open. 8
9 Name Or: Binding of Ach to the Ach receptor open the channel, which is permeable to both Na+ and K+. At normal resting potentials as the ACh receptor opens, many Na ions rush in and a few K+ rush out. This causes the cell to depolarize. As the potential goes toward Erev, as many K+ go out as Na goes in. Therefore the ACh receptor if open long enough would drive the potential to Erev. If Erev is above threshold- the probability of an action potential happening is increased, an action potential will occur. The EPP is excitatory because the Erev for the nach receptor is more positive than the threshold for generating action potential. 3. We can see changes in illumination over a wide range of light intensities. What is the molecular mechanism for this light adaptation? At low levels of light more channels close per photon. As light levels increase it takes more photons to close the same number of channels. This is due to the lowering of intracellular Ca2+. Ca2+ can come in through Na+ channels. When they close in response to light stimulation, Ca2+ levels decrease. The decreased Ca2+ concentration activates guanylyl cyclase which makes more cgmp, which opens channels that normally wouldn t be open. 9
