Which of the following is NOT an effect of the serotonin induced signaling involved in Aplysia sensitization?

Which of the following might BLOCK tail shock-induced sensitization of the Aplysia gill withdrawal reflex?

Which of the following is NOT a direct effect of the serotonin induced signaling involved in Aplysia sensitization?

G protein coupled receptors (GPCRs)

Imagine NMDA receptors are the only receptors on a post-synaptic terminal. Glutamate release would cause a depolarization in the post-synaptic neuron.

In the Aplysia gill withdrawal reflex, the phenomenon of______occurs when the _______ is repeatedly stimulated and the _________ releases fewer synaptic vesicles after each consecutive stimulation

What is one way you could activate a silent synapse?

When dopamine binds to the _____ receptor, the alpha subunit _____ of the trimeric G protein interacts with adenylyl cyclase, resulting in cAMP being synthesized from ATP.

In which of the following situations would you have current flowing if an NMDA receptor was patch clamped at +60 mV?

In class, we discussed an experiment in which 2 frog hearts were placed in different beakers of salt solution.  The beakers were connected by tubing that allowed the movement of the salt solution.  Heart 1 had a vagus nerve still attached, heart 2 did not have the attached vagus nerve.  The change in the contraction of heart 2 was due to
