Early neuroscientists Camillo Golgi and Santiago Ramón y Cajal famously espoused two opposing theories regarding the organization of the nervous system. Golgi believed in the reticular theory, in which nerve cells were physically linked by their processes to form a giant net. What experimental evidence supported the neuron doctrine instead? Indicate whether each of the following characteristics is generally true for invertebrate nervous systems, vertebrate nervous systems, or both. Dendrites receive information via postsynaptic specializations. Axons often project to targets located far from the cell body. Neurons are unipolar, with one process bifurcating to form dendritic vs. axonal branches. The brain and spinal cord are located in the dorsal part of the body. Motor information generally flows from the CNS to the periphery. Define the following terms with regard to neuronal communication: Action potential, graded potential, synaptic potential, receptor potential, excitatory inputs, inhibitory inputs. What is a non-spiking neuron? How is the intensity of a stimulus encoded by neurons? 10. How is information is transmitted between neurons by: (a) vesicular release, diffusion, and reception of molecules called neurotransmitters. (b) ion flow across gap junctions. (c) action potentials. (d) a and b (e) All of the above
