Which one of the following molecular regulators play a role in ocular dominance plasticity during the critical period?

Dendritic spines are said to be calcium signaling “microdomains”.  This means that

Which of the following is a signal amplification step?

Which of the following would increase activation of adenylyl cyclase by the G-alpha-S subunit of a trimeric G protein?

When compared to the current through the NMDA receptor, which of the following is true regarding the AMPA receptor current?

Silent synapses lack

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

RNA-editing of the GluA2 subunit converts an arginine to a glutamine.  This allows the AMPA receptor to pass Ca2+.

Which of the following proteins is correctly matched to its function in the life cycle of synaptic vesicles?

Assume that synapses spontaneously release vesicles at a constant rate. If you record mEPSPs from two different cells and cell A has a higher amplitude of mEPSPs than cell B, what is it possible to conclude?
