brain stem
|
CV
electrolyte respiratory REGULATIONS |
|
cerebrum
|
sight, sound, thinking
|
|
limbic system
|
thalamus...communication relay center
|
|
cerebellum
|
stand up/ walk
|
|
3 kinds of ion channels important in the brain and their relative speeds
|
voltage gated channels are fast (milliseconds
metabotropic channes are slower (minutes) ligand gated ion channels are fast (milliseconds) |
|
how do ligand gated ion channels work?
|
drug or Nt binds and opens channel
|
|
tell me about metabotropic ion channels
|
G-protein binds to channel and opens or G-protein 2nd messenger cAMP interacts w/ ion channel
|
|
2 classes of arrangement in the brain
|
1. heirachial system (long, projecting, excitatory neurons AND feed forward/backward inhibitory neurons)
2. non-specific/diffuse where the Nts like NE, E, Dop, Sera have a "diffuse" effect |
|
tell me about the hierachical system. what kind of neurons?
|
2 kinds: long projecting excitatory and short interneurons that feed for/backward causing inhibition
|
|
tell me about the hierachical system. part 2
|
projects over long distances
involves sensory, pain, motor control |
|
what are the Nts in the hierachical system?
|
glycine, GABA, glutamate
|
|
non-specific/diffuse system.....what Nts? and what does it involve?
|
NE, E, Dopa, Sera
INVOLVES "global funcitons" like wakefulness, attention, appetite, emtional state |
|
signal strength is important in what?
|
memory
|
|
emotionally, what can happen if you deplete NE in vesicles
|
lead to depression (ppl w/ reserpine)
|
|
regarding signal strength, you can impact it pre and post synaptically...tell me about it
|
pre - alter [ ] of NE in vesicles
post - depends on nerve density and ion channels....if you incre K efflux and influx of Cl you can make the neuron harder to stimulate |
|
how do you make a nerve harder to stimulate post synaptically?
|
increase efflux of K
increase influx of Cl |
|
tell me about amino acid Nts and their respective receptors
|
Nts = glycine and GABA and glutamate and aspartate
receptors are GABA A and GABA B (for glycine and GABA) dont know names for glu and asp |
|
tell me about GABA A
|
first off, GABA is an inhibitor Nt
this receptor is located in the Cl- ion channel....when occupied it opens up the channel allowing for Cl- influx....making it harder for nerve stimulation |
|
tell me about GABA B
|
presynaptically decreases calcium influx (decrease Nt release) and increase K efflux postsynaptically (inhibiting impulse conduction)
|
|
two excitatory amino acid Nts
|
glutamate and aspartate (receptors not important)
|
|
M1 and M2 receptors
|
for AcH in brain....M1 is excitatory (decr. K efflux) M2 is inhibitory (incr K efflux)
|
|
Seratonin Nt involved in what
|
global functions
12 receptors, dont know them sometimes excitatory sometimes inh |
|
dopamine Nt
|
involved in mood
receptors = D1 and D2 |
|
NE nt
|
involved in global functions
alpha1, beta 1 and 2 all decrease K efflux alpha 2 increases K efflux |
|
what receptor when occoupied by NE increases K efflux
|
alpha 2
|
|
monoamine Nt in brain
|
dopamine, NE, seratonin
|
|
enkephalins, endorphins, substance P, CCK
what are the receptors? |
peptide Nts
mu, kappa, delta receptors |
|
list some neuromodulators
|
NO, prostaglandins, corticoid hormones
|
|
tell me about neuromodulators
|
not really NT (released at non-synaptic sites) but can function as Nt....released by glial cells...involved in pain
|
|
tell me about cannabinoid receptors
|
CB1 and CB2
play a role in pain releif |
|
what is sad news for high times?
|
some drugs are CB2 selective
|
