Question 3

axon hillock

Answer 3

part of the cell body that connects to the axon

Question 4

telodendria

Answer 4

the branches that axons divide into

axon terminals containing synaptic vesicles at the end of each telondron

Question 5

synaptic number and strength underlies

Answer 5

processing of sensory information
motor circuits
memory formation

Question 6

loss of synapses leads to

Answer 6

dementia

paralysis

Question 7

types of glia

Answer 7

oligodendrocytes
astrocytes
microglia
ependymal cells

Question 8

synaptic pruning

Answer 8

process of synaptic elimination

occurs during development

Question 9

phrenology

Answer 9

feeling lumps on patients brain to work out personality and character

false hypothesis

Question 10

rhombomere

Answer 10

segment of developing neural tube

Question 11

notochord

Answer 11

flexible rod
helps form midline structure and organisation in neural tube development

essential for patterning of tissues

Question 12

what secretes Shh

Answer 12

motor chord and floor plate

Question 13

topographic maps

Answer 13

represent motor and sensory regions

Question 14

retinotectal pathway

Answer 14

orients eye towards stimulus

visualisation of this can be seen in the zebrafish
analysis of axon guidance

Question 15

commissure formation

Answer 15

highly organised by expression of transcription factors 
think ladder (robo/slit)

Question 16

commissure

Answer 16

band of nerve tissue connecting the hemispheres of the brain, the two sides of the spinal cord, etc.

Question 17

differential interference contrast (DIC) microscopy

Answer 17

enhances contrast in unstained transparent sampes

Question 18

total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy (TIRFM)

Answer 18

observes thin region of specimen

Question 19

advantages of zebrafish as model organism

Answer 19

small 
cheap
easy to maintain
grow quickly
hundredes of offspring 
similar genetic structure to humans
