Question

Eric Kandel won the Nobel prize for his studies of synaptic plasticity on the sea slug, Aplysia . Shocking the siphon results in contraction of the gill muscle. After repeated shocking of the siphon, the gill fails to contract. This phenomenon is called . After poor gill contraction (in response to multiple siphon shocks), a shock to the tail is able to restore gill contraction. This phenomenon is called sensitization. Explain how short term sensitization works at the molecular level? Bepeated.sbocks to.tbe.tailcauses a long term sensitization of the gill reflex. Explain how long term sensitization works at the molecular level?
