Neurophysiology — Flashcards

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

Medial motor pathways:_____ reticular nuclei transmit inhibitory signals to the antigravity/extensor muscles by way of the medullary reticulospinal tract, located in the lateral column of the cord.

In the indirect basal ganglia pathway, the neurons of the striatum lead to _____ of neurons of the globus pallidus externus

_____ reflex is a type of polysynaptic reflex.

_____ is the main inhibitory neurotransmitter of the spinal cord

The _____ reflex tests nerve roots L3 and L4 (femoral nerve)

In the direct basal ganglia pathway, the neurons of the striatum lead to _____ of neurons of the globus pallidus internus

Effects of Various Lesions and Brainstem Transections:Complete transection below medulla with vagi _____ will lead to: cessation of spontaneous respiration

_____ is the main excitatory neurotransmitter of the CNS

_____ is probably the best known inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain, especially in the forebrain regions.
