Feed forward inhibition synapse seen in
a) Medulla
b) Cerebellum
c) Basal ganglia
d) Hypothalamus
Correct Answer - B
Ans. is `b’ i.e., Cerebellum
Feed forward control system is employed during the regulation of
temperature.
In feed-forward inhibition, a neuron is connected through two
pathways one excitatory and one inhibitory.
For example, in cerebellum the stimulation of Basket cells produces
IPSPs (inhibitory postsynaptic potentials) in Purkinje cells.
However, the basket cells and the Purkinje cells are excited by the
same parallel-fiber excitatory input.
This arrangement is called feed-forward inhibition and helps to
prevent the duration of the excitation produced by any given afferent
impulse.
