Give some examples of serial and parallel processing in sensory and motor processing of the brain highlighting the neuroanatomical areas involved in the different levels of processing.
Sensory and motor nerves are made up of neurons. The neurons are so arranged that the dendrite always receives the nerve current and then sends it to the axon through the nucleus. Axon then sends the current to the muscle or to the spinal cord or to a dendrite of another neurons as the case may be.
Synapse offers resistance to the flow of the nerve energy. Synapse helps conduction of energy from sensory nerve to motor nerve, but resists movement to the opposite directions.
The nerve impulse may thus be defined as the excited condition of the neurons. But no energy is transmitted into the nervous system by the stimulus. The nerve impulse or current is of the nature if electro-chemical waves.
Serial processing in sensory nerves is the processing of remembering numerical digits, alphabetical serials and the matters like them. The ordinary stimuli in our daily life through auditory sense or oculary sense are received by the sensory neurons. Parallel processing includes double activities like talking while walking. Here both sensory and motor processing take place.
Give some examples of serial and parallel processing in sensory and motor processing of the brain...
The brain computes information mostly using serial processing. Select one: a. TRUE b. FALSE
explain signal transduction and the sensory motor pathways of animals using the examples of the vertebrate ear and eye
Assume that there are nerve fibers that travel from the brain to the motor neurons in the spinal cord involved in this reflex arc. Some nerve tracts from the brain stimulate the spinal neurons, and some inhibit the same neurons. Speculate on the mechanism that would result in the differences if achilles reflexes without reinforcements is 0.393mV and reflex with reinforcement is 0.2654mV.
Name five sensory qualities that can be contrasted to make food appealing. Give examples of meals that are sensory appealing
many vertebrates possess sensory structures that human lack. give two examples of such structures along with a vertebrate taxon that bears the structure and the structure sen sensory function
PLEASE HELP!! this is a studyguide and if anyone can help with some of the answers i would appriciate it! What is an agonist drug? Give some examples of how these drugs work on the synapse What is an antagonist drug? Give some examples of how these drugs work on the synapse What is tolerance and withdrawal? How do these lead to addiction and overdose? Outline the different classes of drugs described in chapter 5 What happens to the brain...
The primary motor cortex is not connected to the spinal cord, but instead information is passed through many different areas in the brain. Discuss how commands are generated in cortex, including different areas involved, and how they are eventually relayed to the spinal cord to control the somatic system. To answer the question select a specified outcome behavior like riding a bike or driving a car and use that to discuss the generation of required activity and the pathway, including...
Give 2 examples of different species concepts, define them, and discuss why one would be preferred over the other in some areas.
Explain in detail some unique developmental aspects of the human brain. Give an example, important to human brain development when, “the loss of an inhibitor is equivalent to the gain of an activator.” This is a common theme in developmental biology.
1. Give examples of the basic pattern of motor-skill development, and discuss variations in biosocial development during the first two years. 2. Summarize key aspects of cognitive development during the first two years, especially language development during this time. 3. Discuss psychosocial development during the first two years, focusing on the concepts of temperament and attachment and their influence on the developing child. 4. Discuss Erik Erikson’s first two stages of psychosocial developments, and offer examples of how caregivers can...
