Studying the interaction between neurons in Aplysia has led to the conclusion that habituation occurs:
A) within sensory neurons
B) within motor neurons
C) at synapses between neurons
D) within neuronal receptors

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Studies on Aplysia have shown that habituation occurs at synapses between neurons. This is because repeated stimulation of a sensory neuron leads to a decrease in neurotransmitter release from its synapses with motor neurons, which in turn reduces the strength of the motor response.
