According to Suzana Herculano Houzel, what does cooking have to do with human evolution? (7pts). Considering their raw diets, why can’t great apes “afford” brains with more neurons? (4 pts).

1From Bloom’s taxonomy of human experience, define each domain. Note: define each primary domain, not the sub-elements of a particular domain.

2Describe how each domain relates to interacting with music and art.

You are a graduate student testing a new drug (drug G) that reduces cocaine addiction in mice. You want to find out what the pharmacological action of drug G is, and you know that it involves monoaminergic signaling, but you don’t know more about it than that. You have found a monoaminergic synapse whose signaling is affected by drug G. You can stimulate the presynaptic neuron at this synapse and record the resulting EPSPs in the postsynaptic neuron. This synapse only releases one neurotransmitter (it is a neurotransmitter we have discussed in class), and at this synapse there is only one type of receptor for this particular neurotransmitter.

You decide to first identify the neurotransmitter released at the synapse you are studying, so you apply an antibody to detect aromatic amino acid decarboxylase (AAAD). You find that the presynaptic neuron at this synapse does express AAAD.

Which of the following types of neurotransmitter COULD be released by this neuron? MORE THAN ONE ANSWER MAY BE CORRECT. CHOOSE ALL THAT APPLY.

Based on the results of the experiment you did in the previous question, you realize that you still haven’t definitively narrowed it down to a single type of neurotransmitter. So, you do another experiment.

Which of the following experiments would help you be more specific? Note that the correct answer wouldn’t necessarily give you the final answer (i.e. narrow it down to a single neurotransmitter), but it would help narrow it down somewhat.

Finally, an undergrad in the lab suggests you stain for DAT, and low and behold, you determine that DAT is expressed in the presynaptic neuron. Now have your answer about which type of neurotransmitter is actually released at this synapse.

Now, you start trying to figure out how drug G affects signaling at this synapse. The next two questions indicate ways drug G might affect signaling. Choose the answer for each question that accurately describes the effect drug G would have at the synapse if the mechanism indicated in each question was correct . For each question, assume drug G has a single action at this synapse (i.e. only directly affects a single type of receptor, enzyme, etc., as relevant).

What would occur if drug G blocked DAT?

What would occur if drug G increased the efficiency of COMT?

Everyone—managers and hourly employees alike—who goes to work for Hard Rock Cafe takes Rock 101, an initial 2-day training class. There they receive their wallet-sized "Hard Rock Values" card which they carry at all times. (See example.Preview the document) The Hard Rock value system is to bring a fun, healthy, nurturing environment into the Hard Rock Cafe culture. This initial course and many other courses help employees develop both personally and professionally. The human resource department plays a critical role in any service organization, but at Hard Rock, with its "experience strategy," the human resource department takes on added importance. Long before Jim Knight, manager of corporate training, begins the class, the human resource strategy of Hard Rock has had an impact. Hard Rock's strategic plan includes building a culture that allows for acceptance of substantial diversity and individuality. From a human resource perspective, this has the benefit of enlarging the pool of applicants as well as contributing to the Hard Rock culture. Creating a work environment above and beyond a paycheck is a unique challenge. Outstanding pay and benefits are a start, but the key is to provide an environment that works for the employees. This includes benefits that start for part-timers who work at least 19 hours per week (while others in the industry start at 35 hours per week); a unique respect for individuality; continuing training; and a high level of internal promotions—some 60% of the managers are promoted from hourly employee ranks. The company's training is very specific, with job-oriented interactive CDs covering kitchen, retail, and front-of-the-house service. Outside volunteer work is especially encouraged to foster a bond between the workers, their community and issues of importance to them. Applicants also are screened on their interest in music and their ability to tell a story. Hard Rock builds on a hiring criterion of bright, positive-attitude, self-motivated individuals with an employee bill of rights and substantial employee empowerment. The result is a unique culture and work environment which, no doubt, contributes to the low turnover of hourly people—one-half the industry average. The layout, memorabilia, music, and videos are important elements in the Hard Rock "experience," but it falls on the waiters and waitresses to make the experience come alive. They are particularly focused on providing an authentic and memorable dining experience. Like Southwest Airlines, Hard Rock is looking for people with a cause—people who like to serve. By succeeding with its human resource strategy, Hard Rock obtains a competitive advantage.

Answer the following questions about the case.

A thoughtful paragraph or list with reasons for each is sufficient. What has Hard Rock done to lower employee turnover to one-half that of the industry average?

How does Hard Rock’s human resource department support the company’s overall strategy?
