Neurophysiology — Flashcards

Sympathetic neurons have _____ pre-ganglionic and long post-ganglionic neurons

In accomodation reflex pathway, the fibres from the parastriate cortex, relay to the _____ nucleus of both sides via the occipitomesencephalic tract and the pontine centres

Bilateral lesions of the _____ result in anterograde amnesia, which is the inability to create new memories

Medial motor pathways:_____ reticular nuclei transmit excitatory signals to the axial muscles of the vertebral column and extensor muscles of limbs by way of the pontine reticulospinal tract, located in the anterior column of the cord.

Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation acts by inhibition at the _____synaptic level in the dorsal horn

Activation of the _____ adrenergic receptor causes contraction of the pupillary dilator muscle, causing mydriasis

_____ binding to the NMDA receptor is essential for the receptor to respond to glutamate

One control center for horizontal gaze is located in the _____, which is responsible for ipsi-lateral gaze

The _____nergic neurons in pontine reticular formation, on stimulation, induce sleep.

One control center for horizontal gaze is located in the _____, which is responsible for contra-lateral gaze
