Q

how do metabotrophic GABA modulate

A

presynaptically modulate transmitter release

Q

what is a graded potential

A

a change in the rmp caused by an EPSP or IPSP but the magnitude of neurotransmitter release is not of a magnitude large enough to cross threshold and result in an AP

Q

what does an interneurone do and release

A

Q

what is the dark current

A

in dark the Vm is between the Ena and EK

in response to light PNa is decreases outer channels close), PK>Pna therefore hyperpolarises

25
what does trans-retinal do
molecular cascade that decreases cGMP, closure of cGMP-gated na channel, lowered na entry causes hyperpolarization
26
in terms of glutamate what happens in light
light less glutamate
27
what is receptive field
part of retina that needs to be stimulated to elicit APs from a ganglion cell
28
what is a horizontal cell

29
describe the convergence with rods
high convergence (large spacing, lower density) this increases sensitivity and decreases acuity
30

32
off pathway uses what type of glutamate receptor
ionotropic
33
on pathway uses what type of glutamate receptor
metabotropic
34
which cells produce action potentials
only ganglion and some amacrine cells produce action potentials (all other cells produce graded changes in membrane potential)
35
what is lateral inhibition and why is it helpful
it exaggerates the difference in stimulus intensity detected by adjacent neurons, aids with localization
36
lateral inhibition modifies the receptive fields of ganglion cells to have what type of organization
centre-surround on centre-off surround off center-on surround
37
does our visual system dtect differences in light intensity or amounts of light
light intensity
38
colour of short wave cone
blue
39
colour of middle wave cone
green
40
colour of long wave cone
red
41
what is the duplex theory of vision
rods and cones (rods=photopic) (cones=scotopic)
42
if CT is negative and you strongly suspect SAH how soon can you do lumbar puncture
no sooner than 12 hours after onset of symptoms
43
why do you need to wait 12 hours
to see if the spinal fluid is xanthrochromic (yellow) from the breakdown of blood in CSF
