Question

ONE correct answer. Why does your brain feel the same "cool" perception whether a neuron is activated by mint or by cool temperatures? There is only ONE correct answer. That stimulus information is lost in the brain, but retained in the action potential That stimulus information is lost as soon as ions flow into the cell That stimulus information is never lost, but the brain ignores that information because it would be too much information That stimulus information is lost in the action potential, but retained in the ions that flow into the cell

Answer 1

Answer: That stimulus information is lost as soon as ions flow into the cell.

Explanation:

The brain feel the same "cool" perception whether a neuron is activated by mint or by cool temperatures because the menthol will trick the body of an individual in such a way that the individual feels cold, even when the person isn't. Menthol affect sensory receptors where feelings of pain, touch, and temperature are being monitored.

Under the human skin, there are neurons which detect these sensations, and monitor the environment through specialized proteins. These proteins control the ion channels and once stimulus information is lost as soon as ions flow into the cell, the brain feel the same "cool" perception whether a neuron is activated by mint or by cool temperatures.
