What is the most reasonable thing to find in the epidural space along the vertebral column?
a) adipose tissue
b) CNS white matter
c) elastic cartilage
d) cerebrospinal fluid *When synapse h releases neurotransmitter, that area of k's membrane shows a temporary, graded, depolarization. What is k's electrical behavior called?
a) an excitatory post-synaptic potential
b) an inhibitory post-synaptic potential
c) an excitatory pre-synaptic potential
d) an inhibitory pre-synaptic potential When synapse j releases a chemical signal onto k, k's membrane potential doesn't change. Instead, it installs more receptors for g's neurotransmitter, & responds more intensely the next time g is active. What best describes k's response to j?
a) post-synaptic inhibition
b) pre-synaptic inhibition
c) pre-synaptic facilitation
d) post-synaptic facilitationWhich of these structures is/are NOT part of a cerebral hemisphere?

a) m
b) p
c) o
d) nA group of neurons in the cerebral cortex is processing information about sound. What structure did this information have to go through most recently to reach the cortex?
