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
