Disturbances in the basal ganglia/thalamocortical motor circuit
Describe the disturbances in the basal ganglia/thalamocortical motor circuit associated with Parkinson and Huntington diseases, respectively.

What molecular mechanisms are thought to control cell fate, particularly the differentiation of neuronal precursor cells into either neurons or glia? I am lost on this please be thorough and cite your source, so I can conduct further reading.
Please answer the following five multiple choice questions. 1) Which cells actually capture the light energy within the eye? A) Retinal pigment epithelial cells B) Photoreceptors C) Bipolar cells D) Ganglion cells All humans have a blind spot in their eye because of the presence of ...continues
Please answer the following five multiple choice questions. 1) The only cell that has a axon that leaves the retina is the A) photoreceptor B) bipolar cell C) ganglion cell D) amacrine cell 2) Rods are much more sensitive to light than cones because A) Rods project directly to g ...continues
Please answer the following ten multiple choice questions. 1)The ability of the eye to distinguish two nearby points is called A) Accomodation B) Pupillary light reflex C) Refraction D) Visual acuity 2) How many different photopigments are contained in the rods and cones of the retina?

Briefly list the steps, beginning with an action potential that arrives at the nerve terminal, which ultimately lead to the release of neurotransmitter into a synaptic cleft.
1. Two types of GABA receptors have been identified. The GABA(a) receptor is an ion channel permeable to CL-; and the GABA(b) receptor is a G-protein-couple receptor (activates a second messenger cascadein the postsynaptic cell) which causes K+ selective channels to open. What effect would the activation of GABA(b) receptors hav ...continues
Describe what happens in the retina (at the cellular level) when you "get used to the dark. Why is it not possible to see color at night? Background: This question involves neurotransmitters and channels. Text for course is "from neuron to brain" if you have access.
