Question 52

Imagine three animals with different immune systems: a fully functional immune system, one missing an innate immune system, and one missing an adaptive immune system. All other things being equal, which one will die first?

a) the animal without adaptive immunity

b) the animal without innate immunity

c) the animal with a fully functional immune system

involves passive transport of chloride ions

         involves passive transport of sodium ions      

is generally observed when glutamate is the neurotransmitter

         is generally observed when GABA is the neurotransmitter  

Question 42

We tend to recognize traumatic or threatening situations very vividly. What neuronal mechanisms explain this?

a) behavioral arousal creates neocortical cell assemblies directly, bypassing the hippocampus

b) these situations release gluccocorticoids (stress hormones), which stimulate the formation of hippocampal cell assemblies

c) the more strongly the input patter of stimulus is, especially with behavioral arousal, the more likely we are to form strong hippocampal cell assemblies

Question 25

Which of the of the following is a true statement regarding the functions of the cerebellum?

a) the cerebellum’s primary role is for fine-tuning movements and balance very little influence on cognition

Total brain and cerebral cortex mass are increased in rats that grew up in an enriched environment with access to various "toys," interactions with other rats and daily maze training (A). Rats in the "deprived" comparison group are housed individually in standard rat cages (no toys). Panel (B) demonstrates that environmental enrichment decreases cortical neuron density without changing synapse density Therefore, the number of synapses per neuron is increased.
