2) Discuss data that support and contradict anyone of the following theories of short-term habituation.

b.Priming

3) How was the locus of the modification produced by short-term habituation of the gill withdrawal response in aplysia discovered? Cite and discuss some (2-3) specific studies.

4) What is Quantal Analysis? What has it shown about short-term habituation and short-term sensitization?

5) What role does cAMP play in long-term sensitization?  Learning is affected by cAMP levels in flies as well as aplysia.  What studies suggest that this is so (Ch 7 Dudai)?
 
6) What are the relevant cells in the abdominal ganglion that are involved in short-term habituation and short-term senstization and what is their involvement?
