The authors created the Accelerated Sensor of Action Potentials 1 (ASAP 1) using a green fluorescent protein source on the extracellular side of the plasma membrane to highlight the membrane potential changes as demonstrated by the fluctuation in the fluorescent brightness. Neuronal action potentials generated are monitored up to 200 Hz in frequency using this device. The general purpose of this experiment was to further understand information processing in the brain and how brain activity is…

The brain is an organ that serves as the center of the nervous system for most living things. There are only a few animals that do not have a brain like starfish or jellyfish. The brain is located in the head. It receives messages from other organs. The brain is the most complex organ. In a human, the cerebral cortex has more than a billion neurons. Each of these neurons are connected by synapses. These synapses are connected to several thousand other neurons. Neurons communicate with one…

Philosopher Pojman argues against strong affirmative action, Philosopher Hettinger argues that affirmative action is justified even though the fact that such policies differentiate against young white males and Philosopher Steal shows a study of race relations in the United States. In this paper I will discuss why I side with Philosopher Pojman’s argument against strong affirmative action, you choose the path you go down and have an option to be different than others, you have opportunities and…
