Researchers often study the evolution of viruses by grouping them into clades based on biochemical traits

Researchers often study the evolution of viruses by grouping them into clades based on biochemical traits. Even though viruses are not alive, they can mutate every time they infect a host, so their genetic material changes quickly. What can we infer from this information about a highly infectious virus, such as COVID-19?

Present a figure showing an analysis of spontaneous activity

Present a figure showing an analysis of spontaneous activity. Include a Spike Discriminator window screenshot, with 2-3 different units (if these can be distinguished), and part of the corresponding Chart view that includes at least one spike from each unit (label one of each). In the figure legend, include details of any filtering applied to the data, and the parameters used to define the spike sets (contour or template, fit tolerance if template). 2.2 (5 points) What factors influence spike amplitude/shape in this type of recording?

 Is there a preferred direction of bristle movement?

Is there a preferred direction of bristle movement? Is the spiking response different in different directions? Is the response tonic (sustained during a steady deflection is maintained) or phasic (responding to movement only at the onset or offset of a stimulus? 2.4 (5 points) If you can evoke activity from different bristles, are the evoked spikes different in amplitude? If there is spontaneous activity, can you tell if the evoked activity is an increase in firing frequency of one of the spontaneous units, or a new unit? 2.5 (5 points* *) Do you see a response (to flexing/extending the leg)? Is it phasic or tonic? Does the response differ between flexion or extension? How does the response change as you extend the leg so that it is completely extended or flexed? 2.6 (10 points) Propose and describe some different mechanisms that might underlie the phasic responses of mechanosensory bristles. Consider all stages of transduction and encoding. 2.7 (5 points). If your data (use example data files if not) showed both spontaneous and stimulus-evoked activity: Did the neurons that fired stimulus- evoked action potentials also fire spontaneously? – provide evidence to justify your answer.
