Answer;

D) D

(Gap junctions)

Explanation;

Gap junctions are tunnel like junctions that can occur anywhere along the lateral membranes of adjacent cells. They allow ions and small molecules to pass to one cell to the next for inter-cellular communication.

They function by allowing the exchange of ions, second messengers, and small metabolites between adjacent cells and are formed by two unrelated protein families, the pannexins and connexins.The protein channels that make up gap junctions consist of two connexons. One connexon resides in the membrane of one cell.

Which is NOT a critique of neuroscience?

timofeeve [1]

D. Brain activity doesn't necessarily cause behaviour just because they coincide.

Explanation:

Neuroscience is the study of the neurons. This deals with how the nervous system develops, the structure of the nervous system and its actions.

Neuroscientists are focusing on the brain and its impact on cognitive functions and behaviour.

Scientists proved that the chemicals present in the brain are responsible for our general state and mood that we are going through. Damage of brain cell will affect our impulses and the impulsive behaviours.
