a) Where is the site of action potential initiation (where the decision is made to fire an action potential)? (b) Why are action potentials most likely initiated at this site than in the soma? Consider pan-NaV antibody staining (green indicates staining of Nav channels).
Homework Answers
a) The distal end of axon i.e. the unmyelinated initial segment
of axon serves as site for decision making to fire an action
potential. It is an "all or none" event and once the decision is
made, the actiona potential is fired down the axon.
b) Soma is not the site for initiation of action potential. This is
due to the fact that soma is the metabolic center of the neuron and
has lower density of sodium channels. These channels are
prerequisite for firing of action potential. So,higher density of
these channels at the axon initial segment and comparative lower
density in soma makes it not to fire the action potential at
soma.

Cell # 1 forms an excitatory synapse onto cell # 2 , when cell #1 fires a single action potential it releases glutamate onto the membrane of cell #2 resulting in a 5 millivolt depolarization, a 5 mV excitatory postsynaptic potential, when cell #1 fires three action potentials in rapid succession this causes a 15 mV depolarization in cell #2 resulting in cell #2 reaching threshold and firing its own action potential.

Neuron Signaling and Muscle Contraction 1) “Dissect” the various parts of an action potential by describing the status (active or nonactive) of the voltage-gated sodium channel, voltage-gated potassium channel, sodium/potassium pump, and overall voltage and/ or voltage range (in millivolts, or mV) for each of the following. A) Resting membrane (prior to the initiation of an action potential) B) just before threshold to just after threshold (Depolarization) C) Rising phase of the action potential D) Falling phase of the action...

A 35 year old female presents with a history of several episodes, each separated by several months, in which she experiences brief periods of physical weakness, clumsiness of the legs and hands, visual disturbances, and mood swings. Her weakness is most prominent in the lower extremities. CT scans show evidence of multiple lesions in the white matter of the brain and spinal cord. During her last episode, there were increasing neurological deficits due to an increasing number of disseminated lesions....

Based on the article "Proxy War," create your own argument that either supports or counters the author's argument (you either agree with the author's conclusion [support his argument] or you disagree with the author's conclusion [counter his argument]). Be sure you are not just developing your argument with the opinion that you already have. This means you must first recognize your initial point of view and your own assumptions about the topic, so you can approach it with an open...
