Q10
M1.1 H2 WZ1 Neuroplasticiteit
Exercise 1: Which processes are described on the basis of the
Figures below? Refer to Lundy-Ekman Chapter 7 (Pages 137-138)
and Shumway-Cook Chapter 4 (Pages 83-84). Ensure that you
explain these processes: 1) where in the nervous systems they
occur and 2) what is the function of these processes.
Process 1 = Habituation Shumway-Cook Figure 4.3 Page 83
where in the nervous system they occur and what is the function of these processes?
Habituatie
o is the simplest form of implicit learning, habituation is related to a decrease in
synaptic activity between sensory neurons and their connection to interneurons and
motor neurons
o simplest forms of neuroplasticity, is a decreased in response to a repeated, benign
stimulus
o habituatie is omenkeerbaar ook als het prolonged is
where: synaptic level
o decrease in release of excitatory neurotransmitters including glutamate and may
result in decrease in free intracellular calcium
o prolonged repetition of stimulation more permanent structural changes occur
op lange termijn zijn er structureleveranderingen
sensitisatie is het omgekeerde
o increase of excitatory neurotransmitters
