Grasshopper mouse lives in the desert of Arizona where there are scorpions whosevenoms are toxic by activating neuronal Nav channels or impair channel inactivation,thereby increasing neuron excitability causing pain/or paralysis. Interestingly, thegrasshopper mouse (Onychomys torridus) kills and consumes bark scorpions whileshowing little signs of discomfort when stung by the scorpion. On the other hand regularmouse is affected severely by the scorpion stung. What could be the molecular reason forthat adaptation
Conotoxin is produced by marine cone snails. Among its effects is to block voltage-gated Ca2+ channels in n eurons. A. What anatomical part of a neuron would be affected by conotoxin? B. How would the neuron's action potential be affected by conotoxin? Explain, using at least TWO of the following terms: threshold, depolarization, repolarization, hyperpolarization, summation, IPSP, EPSP, exocytosis C. If conotoxin affected a somatic motor neuron, would this toxin cause muscle weakness or increased muscle tension? Explain why.

Hansen's disease, also known as leprosy, arises when bacteria infect the Schwann cells that wrap around axons of peripheral nerves to form a myelin .shealth. Attacks by the immune system on the bacteria-infected glial cells causes a loss of myelin in peripheral nerves. How is Hansen's disease similar to multiple sclerosis? Why do the symptoms differ? Why are people with Hansen's disease unusually prone to injuring themselves?
Visit this site (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/neurolab) to see a virtual neurophysiology lab, and to observe electrophysiological processes in the nervous system, where scientists directly measure the electrical signals produced by neurons. Often, the action potentials occur so rapidly that watching a screen to see them occur is not helpful. A speaker is powered by the signals recorded from a neuron and it pops each time the neuron fires an action potential. These action potentials are firing so fast that it sounds like static on the radio. Electrophysiologists can recognize the patterns within that static to understand what is happening. Why is the leech model used for measuring the electrical activity of neurons instead of using humans?
