Altered GABA causes:
|
Seizures,
Bipolar Disorders, Anxiety, Insomnia |
|
Altered dopamine causes:
|
Parkinson's disease,
Schizophrenia |
|
Altered serotonin (5-HT) causes:
|
Schizophrenia,
Depression |
|
Molecules that can cross BBB:
|
very small & lipophilic
Gases - O2, CO2 Some drugs (ex. Diazepam) |
|
Specific transport systems allow polar (water soluble) or large molecules to cross BBB s/a:
|
glucose,
amino acids, some drugs (ex. Phenobarbital) ***drugs that are highly ionized or protein bound CANNOT cross |
|
_____ is primary excitatory NT in the CNS
|
Glutamate
(SPEEDS UP SYSTEM) |
|
Glutamate ionotropic-ligand gated ion channels are:
|
- direct: Na+, Ca++, indirect: Ca++ (K+ closed)
- influx of (+) ions depolarizes membrane |
|
GABA ionotropic-ligand gated ion channels are:
|
- directL Cl-, indirect: K+ (Ca++ closed)
- influx of (-) ions hyperpolarize membrane |
|
Glutamate receptors:
|
Metabatropic- GPCRs
- mGluR - Post-synaptic: involved in transmission of signal, Gq coupled → releases more Ca++ (increase AP) - Pre-synaptic: regulate further release of NT, Gi coupled → negative feedback (stop release of Ca++) |
|
_____ is primary inhibitor NT in the CNS.
|
GABA
(Budah - sloowwwss down system) |
|
GABA receptors:
|
GABAaR activation:
Presynaptic neuron depolarization: Ca++ influx & GABA release to postsynaptic → Cl- enters, K+ leaves = hyperpolarized (harder to have AP) |
