This is called: Select one: O a. sensory interaction. O b. sensory adaptation. O c. accommodation. O d. transduction.

Answer 1

Neurotransmitter gets altered by virtually all psychotropic drugs: GABA.

Each of our sensory systems has intricate processes of turning physical energy into neural energy. This is called Sensory transduction.

Explanation: Barbiturates and benzodiazepines are used as psychotropic drugs.

They appear to act at the GABA when BZD receptor–Cl¯ channel complex and potentiate GABAergic inhibition by increasing the lifetime of Cl¯ channel opening induced by GABA

Benzodiazepines (BZDs) are selective CNS depressants that produce sedation, relieve anxiety, facilitate sleep, suppress seizures, and reduce muscle tone.

Sensory transduction is the process by which different types of stimuli in the environment are converted into action potentials in the nervous system.

Sensory transduction is the initial step toward perception and involves the translation of different types of cells reacting to stimuli into a signal that proceeds through the central nervous system and translates into sensations.
