Frage 1

Frage
Is this statement true? The definition for synaptogenesis is; the formation of synapses between neurons in the nervous system. Although it occurs throughout a healthy person's lifespan, an explosion of synapse formation occurs during early brain development, known as exuberant synaptogenesis.

Frage 12

Frage
What morphogen is key in forming the layering system found within the cerebral cortex?
Antworten
  • Reelin
  • Sonic Hedgehog
  • WNT
  • BMP

Frage 13

Frage
Is this statement true? Axons, dendrites and migrating neuroblasts rely on a part of their cells called 'filopodia' in order to guide them to the area they need to be.
Antworten
  • True
  • False

Frage 14

Frage
Synaptogenesis occurs when the filapodia reach the right location, What adhesion molecules stablise the contact between filopodia and passing axons?
Antworten
  • Beta-neurexin
  • Neuroligin-1
  • Alpha-neurexin
  • Neuroligin-2

Frage 15

Frage
What will happen if the filopodia reaches an axon that is not complimentary?
Antworten
  • The filopodia will retract
  • The filopodia will still bind, it just won't be active
  • binding still occurs and the neuron will still be active.

Frage 16

Frage
During synapses strengthening if the circuit is effective what receptor is activated and what does it allow to move into the cell?
Antworten
  • NMDA receptor
  • Nicotinic receptor
  • Calcium ions
  • Potassium ions

Frage 17

Frage
Calcium ions moving into the axon allows what to happen?
Antworten
  • Increases AMPA receptors on the cell surface
  • Increases the effectiveness of AMPA receptors (phosphorylation)
  • Causes actin cytoskeleton to grow and increase dendritic spine area and thus more space for AMPA receptors
  • Strengthens synpase
  • Weakens synpase

Frage 18

Frage
