Question

1. What is labeled line coding of senses?

Brain's interpretation of the signal depends on the specificity of the sensory receptor that it's listening to.

Brain's interpretation of the signal requires combined input from many sensory receptors.

Brain associates the location of the sensory receptor with the meaning of the signal.

Brain associates the timing of the sensory receptor firing with the meaning of the signal.

2. Which of the following is not a demonstration of cortical plasticity?

Phantom limb pain in amputees.

Musicians increasing representation of their fingers after practice.

Barrels in cortex restructuring after removal of a whisker in rats.

The homunculus and somatotopy.

3. When you stub your toe you feel a sharp a pain that is later followed by a dull throbbing pain. This dual sensation can be explained by which of the following?

Pain stimuli transmitted by fibers of different size

Suppression of pain by higher brain centers

Lateral inhibition

Stimulus enhancement of initial injury to facilitate protective responses
