Researchers investigating the effect of exercise on cognitive functions conducted a con-trolled experiment in which rats were randomly assigned to sedentary (Sed), low-intensityexercise (Low-Ex), or high-intensity exercise (High-Ex) groups. During this exercise regi-ment, rats were also trained to navigate a specialized water maze, and their escape latency, the time it took them to escape the maze, was recorded. The results of this experi-ment are depicted in the figure below.escape latency (sec)1008060-40-200-day 10day 11Escape latencies during the training phaseBased on the data above,day 12(b) Identify the control group in the experiment.sed-- low-ex-- high-ex(a) Identify the dependent and independent variables in the experiment.day 13Respond to each part in 3 to 4 complete sentences.(c) Compare the effects of low-intensity and high-intensity exercise on the rats' cognitive func-tion during the training period.

Reward-modulated spike-timing dependent plasticity (RSTDP) can be modelled as STDP with an eligibility trace. RSTDP provides an explanation for how a reward that occurs a short time after the stimulus (i.e., outside the STDP learning window) can nevertheless cause a change in the synaptic strengths. The activities of two neurons, labelled A and B, are being recorded and are observed to have similar average spiking rates. Both neurons are observed to change their firing rates in response to both a stimulus and a reward. Describe how the timing of the delivery of the reward could be manipulated so that, during the learning period, the activity of neuron A increased but the activity of neuron B decreased.

What happened when Thompson temporarily inactivated the lateral interpositus nucleus of a rabbit’s cerebellum during learning? a. The rabbit showed no responses during training but showed evidence of learning as soon as the lateral interpositus nucleus recovered. b. The rabbit showed no responses during training, and after the lateral interpositus nucleus recovered, the rabbit learned at the same pace as a rabbit with no previous training. c. The rabbit showed no evidence of learning during training and no ability to learn even after the lateral interpositus nucleus recovered. d. The rabbit showed normal responses during training but forgot them after the lateral interpositus nucleus recovered.

True or False: (T/F) Balance and body position during flight would be monitored in part using hair plates located on the prothorax behind the head capsule.(T/F) When performing waggle dances in the hive, the bee would produce pulses of spund to indicate the distance to the flowers and these sounds would be detected by the dance followers using the sensory structure shown in Fig. 3.(T/F) The Central Pattern Generators for operating the indirect flight muscles are contained in the tritocerebrum of the bee's supraesophagael ganglion.
