10 Questions
Long term depression (weakening of synapses) is due to the reduction of concentration of AMPA neurotransmitters.
True
Which one of these of steps is does not occur in Associative LTP.
This causes an inter-cellular signaling cascade
Which one of these is not a function of PMv (Ventral Pre motor area)
Preparation of movement
What can we suggest about motor neurons when we see monkeys imitate movements.
Motor neurons may be important for learning through observations.
Which of these is FALSE about the Supplementary Motor Area?
External generated movements
The Supplementary Motor Area is split into 2 areas : SMA proper (involved in learning) & Pre-SMA (involved in execution)
True
Which two of the Secondary motor association areas is involved in planning movements?
PMC & SMA
Which one of these statements is FALSE about the Frontal Eye Fields?
Sends signals to the Primary Cortex
The frontal eye fields are somatotopic - as you move across the frontal eye fields your eyes move across the
same direction
True
Which one of these statements is FALSE about Betz cells?
They control non voluntary movements
Study Notes
Long-Term Depression and Neurotransmitters
- Long-term depression (weakening of synapses) is caused by a reduction in AMPA neurotransmitter concentration.
Associative LTP
- One of the steps that does not occur in Associative LTP is unspecified.
Ventral Premotor Area (PMv)
- The function of PMv that is NOT applicable is unspecified.
Imitation and Motor Neurons
- When monkeys imitate movements, it suggests that motor neurons are capable of learning and adapting to new movements.
Supplementary Motor Area
- The Supplementary Motor Area is divided into two areas: SMA proper (involved in learning) and Pre-SMA (involved in execution).
Secondary Motor Association Areas
- The two secondary motor association areas involved in planning movements are unspecified.
Frontal Eye Fields
- The Frontal Eye Fields are somatotopic, meaning that as you move across the frontal eye fields, the eyes move in the same direction.
Betz Cells
- One of the statements that is FALSE about Betz cells is unspecified.
