His wife Mary Jane had forgiven him, yet again. Hisboss, Mr. Jameson, had given him back his job, yet again. And his nemesis, the Goblin, was trapped in a securevortex, yet again. Peter was shaken from his reverie as a musical chime replaced the tingling on his hips."Parker here.""Peter, where have you been? Aunt May is in the hospital again. She's had another heart attack."Mary Jane's voice had the familiar combination of concern and irritation."Sorry, I got stuck at work. I'll swing right over to the hospital."Pater's Aunt May embodies the essence of unconditional love and has become a beloved icon because of her bigheart. But to her cardiologist, a big heart is a dangerous sign of weakening cardiac muscle.

The heart is primarily composed of cardiac muscle tissue, which contracts rhythmically to pump blood…

I need help finding a research paper and a news article that evaluates how brain and mind are presented outside the scientific literature. Specifically, you’ll choose an empirical study (2020 or earlier) that was featured in news reports and critically evaluate its presentation there in light of the original research paper. The topic is about visual perception in animals or humans . We already spoke about mantis shrimp so that example is not available however it can be any other animal.
Answer one 45-46. A) Trace the flow of information through the nervous system from stimulus to response. Be sure to identify the types of neurons involved. -OR- B) Describe what is meant by sensory adaption, and explain how this can be considered an evolutionary adaptation. -OR- C) Describe what is meant by afterimage, and explain how this supports the trichromatic theory of color vision.
1) Those with blindsight think they can't see but can react to visual stimuli anyway. Why? they are faking being blind: they can see just fine, just like us the part of the cortex that controls conscious vision is still intact because the part of their visual system that controls visual reflexes is still intact because their eyes work fine and they also don't actually have any brain damage 2) Those with blindsight think they can't see but can react to visual stimuli anyway.

What evidence suggests that the somatosensory cortex is essential for the conscious perception of touch?
can someone explain to me how the vestibular system works (physiologically)? thanks
Which statement about the events of photoreception is false? a) as a rod cell hyperpolarizes, its release of neurotransmitter increases b) there is more Na+ entry into a rod cell in the dark than in the light c) bipolar cells release more neurotransmitter in the light than in the dark d) as a bipolar cell depolarizes, its release of neurotransmitter increases e) when a rod cell releases neurotransmitter the bipolar cell it synapses with hyperpolarizes
A) How does selective attention aid perception under everyday circumstances? What would be the consequences of driving a car in a city where no one had the ability to attend selectively? What kinds of accidents might occur more frequently than occur now? Would any kinds of accidents be apt to occur less frequently?
Environmental input to different sensory systems affects different neuroanatomical pathways. However, there is a basic, common pathway plan that most sensory systems share. Choose the response option that best describes that plan. receptors --> hindbrain --> midbrain --> cortical association area receptors --> medulla --> hypothalamus --> frontal cortex receptors -> spinal nerves --> midbrain --> temporal cortex receptors >brainstem --> thalamus --> primary cortical area

B) They would not be able to feel or have a sense of proprioception on thier right side above the lesion. C) They can't move the right side of their body below the lesion. D) They won't feel pain on the left side below the lesion.
Which of the following is an illustration of experience-dependent plasticity? A) Rats raised in cages with toys have more dendritic spines and more synapses per neuron than rats raised in cages without this stimulation B) The brain expects experiences that all humans have (such as visual and auditory input) and uses them to shape the structure of the brain. C) Adults who became blind early in life were better able to discriminate musical pitch than were those who became blind later in life. D) All of the above
Andre is a 68-year-old grandfather who has been struggling with his memory lately. At first, he was simply forgetting an appointment from time to time or forgetting to take his morning vitamins. However, now his spouse and children have noticed that his forgetfulness is progressing. There have been moments where he forgot how to get home, couldn’t remember his own phone number, or the names of his grandchildren. His family is worried he may have Alzheimer’s disease and they are not sure what to do. List and describe at least 3 treatments, tests, or other options that would make sense for Andre’s stage of memory loss.
