2. 1QQ#17 for 10:30 Correct the inaccurate statements. 1.Taste receptors cells produce action potentials. 2.The adequate stimulus for free nerve endings surrounding a hair root is tissue damage. 3.The intensity of a stimulus is proportional to the amplitude of the action potentials it causes. 4.At supra-threshold stimulus applied to center of a receptive field of a first order sensory neuron will generate a higher frequency of action potentials than the same stimulus applied to the edge of that neuron’s receptive field.

3. 1QQ#17 for 11:30 Correct the inaccurate statements. 1.Taste receptors cells produce graded potentials. 2.The adequate stimuli for a Paccinian corpuscle is texture and stroking movements. 3.The intensity of a stimulus is proportional to the amplitude of the action potentials it causes. 4.At supra-threshold stimulus applied to center of a receptive field of a first order sensory neuron will generate a higher frequency of action potentials than the same stimulus applied to the edge of that neuron’s receptive field.

4. Convergence and two-point discrimination test What about amount of overlap? How might that affect our ability to spatially resolve a stimulus?

5. Fig. 07.08 Receptive fields often overlap – how might the neural circuit enhance differences and thus spatial discrimination?

6. Spatial discrimination is enhanced by lateral inhibition Lateral inhibition involves near neighbors that inhibit each other Lateral projections inhibit via NTs and IPSPs

10. Relative timing of stimuli Receptors show different state of temporal adaptation (Shouldn’t that be “acclimation”, Dr Davis?) Tonic vs. phasic – Tonic receptors show little adaptation and continue to transmit signals as long as there is a stimulus – Phasic receptors show a high level of adaptation and will decrease their responsiveness to a steady stimulus
