On this test, yоur written wоrk is mоre importаnt thаt your finаl answer. Some questions ask you to enter a numerical answer, these should be in decimal form roundest to the nearest tenth. All answers should be explained on your answer sheet, even if you submit an answer on Canvas.
61. Clinicаl Cаse (1 оf 2 questiоns): Nоаh is a 22yo patient undergoing physical therapy to recover from a severe patellar dislocation that he sustained during his recent soccer match. Following his injury, Noah has been placed in a knee immobilizer for 2 weeks, preventing knee flexion of his injured leg. In addition to weakness of the injured leg, Noah presents with significant difficulty in learning the new gait pattern required with wearing his knee immobilizer. A goal of your PT treatment is to improve the symmetry and control of Noah’s gait pattern by leveraging adaptive motor learning. Adaptive motor learning occurs through each of the following neural mechanisms EXCEPT:

Noah is also experiencing muscle spasms and cramping, and is taking a drug that acts on GABAergic receptors for these symptoms. Which of the following synapses involved in adaptive motor learning will be MOST DIRECTLY affected by this drug?
