Neurophysiology — Flashcards

Injury to the brainstem and spinal cord above _____ vertebral level can be rapidly fatal from disruption of cardiorespiratory regulation centers.

The _____nergic neurons in anterior hypothalamus and adjacent forebrain regions, on stimulation, induce sleep.

Inhibition of _____ proteins inhibits docking of neurotransmitter vesicles and ultimately neurotransmitter release

_____ of the globus pallidus internus results in excitation of the ipsilateral ventral lateral (VL) nucleus of the thalamus (basal ganglia pathway)

In the indirect basal ganglia pathway, the neurons of the subthalamic nucleus lead to _____ of neurons of the globus pallidus internus

The _____, also known as the vomiting center (located in the medulla) receives main inputs from: 1. GI tract 2. Vestibular system 3. Area postrema (chemoreceptor trigger zone)

The _____ is responsible for synthesis of the neurotransmitter GABA

Acting via GABA-_____ receptors, GABA increases Cl conductance.

Procedural/Skills memory (Nondeclarative) is stored in _____, cerebelllum and motor cortex

The _____ of the reticular formation is responsible for synthesis of serotonin
