Answer 8

Its important for society and its fascinating

Question 9

Camillo Golgi, Santiago Ramon y Cajal, Charles Sherrington

Answer 9

All three prominent figures in the field of neuroscience. all have nobel peace prizes

Question 10

Who coined the term “Synapse”?

Answer 10

Charles Sherrington

Question 11

Charles Sherrington

Answer 11

Physiologist
studied spinal reflexes
you can override the spinal reflex
-> must have individual neurons for conducting the sensory and motor output

Question 12

Answer 12

Parkinson’s disease

Question 13

(Years lived with disability) which disease impacts people the most?

Answer 13

Migraine

Question 14

Dr Nicolelis -
Monkey sitting in a chair playing a video game. Has a joystick to move cursor on the dot on screen. Implanted electrodes in the motor cortex. Pattern recognition software to detect patterns of neural activity. (action potentials over 1000’s of trials)

Answer 14

If the software extracts the neural activity the robot should be doing same thing as the monkey. The mathematical models mimic the movements from the monkey to the robotic arm.

Question 15

-Animal playing the game
-Info is going to the next room
-Robot arm is supposed to be doing the same thing as the animal arm
-Exp was ___
-Software gathered enough info to mimic the movement
-Now disconnect joystick, and reflect it into the robot arm
-Monkey wont realize that she is ___ ___ using the joystick

Answer 15

successful
no longer
