Stimulus Response Time Lab
... Sensory neurons of the PNS carry information to the CNS. Signals from the brain are carried to motor neurons (PNS), which carry out responses by muscles. In this lab, you will be comparing the rate at which sensory neurons, working through the brain, can elicit responses via motor neurons. Purpose: ...
