Q

mechanism of stabilization

A

apoptosis to eliminate axons that don’t reach the normal target and connection errors, and to reduce the size of neuronal pool to match target or presynaptic input

albinism

A

neurocristopathy with pigmentation defect

40
Q

A

conducting potential, longevity, amitotic, high metabolic rate

49

Q

what do leaky Na+ channels do?

A

aka graded potentials, allow of a little of Na to leak in and cause the dendrite to be depolarized. if the initial GP is sufficient, it can spread to the axon hillock and allow voltage gated ion channel to open for an AP
