Question

Which of the following is FALSE in regards to medium spiny neurons?

A. Medium spiny neurons project the hormone GABA.
B. Dendrites of medium spiny neurons can be found in the Pallidum.
C. Axons carrying information from the cerebral cortex converge on medium spiny neurons.
D. Corpus striatum neurons converge onto medium spiny neurons.
E. Some axons of medium spiny neurons terminate in the Substantia nigra pars reticulata.

Answer 1

The FALSE statement regarding medium spiny neurons is B. Dendrites of medium spiny neurons can be found in the Pallidum.

Step-by-step explanation:

Out of the given options, the FALSE statement regarding medium spiny neurons is B. Dendrites of medium spiny neurons can be found in the Pallidum.

Medium spiny neurons are a specific type of neuron found in the striatum, a region of the brain. They play a crucial role in the basal ganglia circuitry and are involved in motor control and reward processing.

The correct options regarding medium spiny neurons are:

Medium spiny neurons project the hormone GABA.Axons carrying information from the cerebral cortex converge on medium spiny neurons.Corpus striatum neurons converge onto medium spiny neurons.Some axons of medium spiny neurons terminate in the Substantia nigra pars reticulata.
