00:04 Yeah. All right. Good morning today. I know that fun

00:10 We're going to be dealing with electrical . Alright. That's that's kind of

00:15 great George, what the class is to be about today, looking at

00:18 potential and action potentials how they're formed what they do and then what we're

00:23 is we're going to transition from that talk about how the synapse works.

00:28 . And so we're going to look what is the synapse? What's his

00:31 ? And how does it go about its job? So, that's kind

00:34 like the big picture. And then should get us up through all the

00:37 We need to know for the first the second example. Hey, thank

00:44 . Yeah, but before we do that we need to do a vocabulary

00:47 . All right. And it's gonna like we really have to do this

00:51 . It is important because the terminology be a little bit confusing.

00:56 what we have here is we got , polarized, hyper polarized and re

01:00 . Alright. And so what I to do is I want you to

01:03 back to third grade. Remember third people like no one person's?

01:08 They want to know. All So do you remember the number

01:12 All right. So now you can it's like you have the number line

01:14 had negative on one side positive on other. I should flip that around

01:17 this would be your negative. This be a positive. Right? And

01:20 when we're on that number line we zero and then we're either moving away

01:24 zero in either direction. All So when you're on zero on a

01:29 line, you're what we call non . All right. Any time you

01:35 off zero If it's .1 or a , it doesn't matter how big or

01:40 small is you become polarized. All . And when we talked on

01:45 we talked about how we were measuring cell and we put a probe inside

01:49 cell and we put a ground on outside. And we're asking the

01:53 what is the charge inside the All right. And so what we're

01:57 doing is we're asking the question of is the polarity inside the cell?

02:02 right. Because it's not zero. could be but it's not All

02:06 So, whenever we're looking at a , we're gonna be looking at a

02:11 of a cell that's already polarized. already been moved on that number line

02:15 one direction or the other. Now that we typically look at are negatively

02:20 on the inside. They are already a polarized state in the negative

02:25 All right. So, the way here. Okay. Now the neuron

02:28 -70. We talked a little bit why that is Okay, so,

02:32 standing over here on -70 euros over . If I move toward zero,

02:39 becoming less polarized. Right? -70 step closer would be -69. The

02:46 step would be -68 and so on so on. I'm becoming less polarized

02:50 I was before. That is called polarization. All right. If I

02:55 turned back to my original polarized I'm re polarizing. Okay. And

03:02 if I move further from zero, other words, zeros over there in

03:07 direction. I'm becoming more polarized. hyper polarizing. All right now,

03:12 do I bring all this stuff All right. Because these are the

03:16 that we use when we talk about cell, when we're opening and closing

03:21 and we're moving items back and All right. So cell becomes deep

03:26 . It's becoming less polarized than it before. And activity is happening in

03:30 cell. If we're coming becoming more , were becoming hyper polarized. And

03:34 activity is happening in the cell. , So these states are going to

03:39 or going to tell us how the is behaving under those particular conditions.

03:45 . And so that's why the language important. Now, there are sometimes

03:50 will see not this simple chart that looking at right here, but it

03:54 be positive. And so if I'm here in the positive plane, if

03:57 moving towards zero, I'm still d . Even though I'm moving in the

04:01 direction. I was when I was the negative plane. Right? And

04:05 same thing. If I move further from zero, I'm becoming hyper

04:09 This is why the language becomes important you have to understand your frame of

04:13 now because ourselves are already negatively Typically what we're going to see is

04:18 when we see ions moving into a and we are deep polarizing those ions

04:24 are moving into cells because remember we at those basic ions are primarily

04:28 So when we see a net positive of set of ions into the cell

04:33 say net flow of positive ions than deep polarizing. So, typically,

04:39 what's going on now. Is it what's going on? Not always,

04:44 99.9% of the time. And the that you'll see in your classes today

04:48 in the near future, that's what's on. Conversely, if you're hyper

04:53 and what you're seeing is a net of positive ions out of the

04:57 In other words, I'm taking positive away from the cell so the inside

05:00 becoming more and more negative. Hence polarization. All right. So,

05:07 our starting point today. A lot the stuff we're gonna be dealing with

05:10 abstract. So, you're gonna have kind of just take that step back

05:12 go, don't ask what is going in my body. It's going on

05:15 over the place. All right. are abstract ideas that are a little

05:19 deeper to help us understand what's going in the south. So, I

05:24 I gotta press that. So, gonna be talking about two different types

05:29 electrical potentials. We talked about the having a resting membrane potential. What's

05:34 on when no ions are moving back forth. There's a there's leak channels

05:39 there's pumps. And basically find a where the membrane the difference in charge

05:43 that membrane comes comes to a certain at rest. All right. That's

05:49 we were talking about on Tuesday. -70. All right. And so

05:54 we have is we have cells that take advantage of that potential energy and

05:59 opening and closing channels we can create movement of ions that then become electrical

06:05 that the cells can then use. those two types of signals are two

06:09 of potential changes that occur. Have . It's a greater potential or an

06:14 potential. All right, great Or have different grades to them.

06:20 right. They can be big or . They can be long or or

06:25 duration. Hence the term graded We typically use these short term

06:31 Short distant signals. So, you imagine a cell We didn't really talk

06:35 how big neurons are, neurons can very, very, very tiny.

06:40 they can be very, very, big. I want you to envision

06:43 a moment. My little toe, though you can't see it. All

06:47 . And I want you to imagine is a neuron that travels from my

06:50 cord all the way down the length my leg, down to that little

06:53 to make it wiggle. So that , that one cell is about this

07:00 that's a big sale. Wouldn't you now it's itsy bitsy teeny tiny in

07:03 of diameter. But in terms of it's very far. And so when

07:07 talking short distance changes, we're talking very short distances on the length of

07:12 cell. But when we talk about distance signals, we're talking along the

07:18 of that cell. Okay, and where we're going to use an action

07:23 . And they're very very different in of how they behave and what's going

07:27 . And if you've taken upper level , you've already learned this stuff and

07:29 you can probably fall asleep. But you've never seen this stuff before,

07:32 can be kind of confusing. If you know, if you don't kind

07:37 take that step back and say, , this is abstract. All right

07:41 , where do we get these? that changes that membrane permeability? Remember

07:45 horrible equation? I said you didn't to remember? Yeah, if you

07:48 look at that equation, it's talked permeability. So anything that changes permeability

07:53 change the movement of ions and anything alters the ion concentration on either side

07:59 the membrane. So in other if I open up channels. I'm

08:02 permeability which causes ions to move, means I'm changing concentrations. All

08:08 So, really, basically, all gotta do is open and closed

08:11 That's that's the nuts and bolts of is what it boils down to

08:14 I'm opening and closing channels. This does not want to work for me

08:19 . All right. Now many of slide to have are going to be

08:23 picture like this and then a lot explanation on it. And then the

08:25 slide will be a different picture with same explanation. Because I think the

08:29 probably do a better job of explaining a whole bunch of the text

08:33 All right. So, what we was a great potential as a short

08:36 signal. It's basically a local change a local environment. Now, this

08:41 not the greatest picture. But what have here is you can see here's

08:44 cell. All right. There's the terminal that we describe and we have

08:49 releasing some sort of message. This gonna be a chemical message. And

08:53 it's gonna do is it's gonna bind a ligand gated channel. That channel

08:57 up that allows the inflow or the of ions. In this particular

09:02 we're seeing the inflow of sodium. so what's gonna happen is you can

09:07 at the point of entry, there's and tons of sodium. Remember the

09:10 I gave you all those couples on side or not. The couples,

09:14 were couples yet, They wanted to couples there on either side of the

09:17 . Right? And if you open that gate, you can imagine there's

09:21 to be this rush of of ions that gate or Russia really in this

09:26 people. Right. So that's what's . So at the point of entry

09:31 where you're going to see the biggest , the biggest change is taking

09:36 All right. And that's what this is trying to show you down here

09:39 if you're measuring it right here at site of excitation, that's where the

09:44 changes. Now. These are What are they looking for? If

09:49 sodium on what are you looking The negative charge, it doesn't matter

09:53 it is. As long as it's , they're not picky, they're only

09:57 about the charge part. Right? what they do is they come in

10:00 the first thing we're gonna do is a negative charge and they're gonna

10:03 how you do it? And they're hook up. All right. So

10:06 you take that charge that's matched up another charge, it can't be moving

10:12 . What's happening is as you move and further and further away from the

10:18 , there's gonna be less and less charges available. So you don't see

10:22 in terms of the voltage. Remember tissues that change or the difference in

10:27 . So the further away is the and lower gets in terms of the

10:33 . Now, if you're saying, , this doesn't make a lot of

10:35 to me. What's a better way explain this? All right. Have

10:39 ever thrown a rock into a smooth or pool that has no ripples,

10:43 in it. Right. So you the rock and you throw it in

10:45 and you get that little splash, get the ripples going away at the

10:49 of entry. You have the biggest as you move further and further

10:53 That ripple gets smaller and smaller and . Now, the reason for that

10:58 a little bit different. It has do with resistance in the water and

11:00 like that. But can you visualize because that's what's kind of going on

11:05 is basically can think about as I'm it up. So I'm putting a

11:08 bunch of ions. But as I further and further away from the side

11:11 excitation, the amount of islands available interact becomes less and less and

11:17 Does that make more sense? so a graded potential is very

11:25 It's local meaning it happens in a specific location, Right? And it

11:30 have varying degrees of magnitude, meaning can have different heights, different

11:36 All right. So, I used example here. I said,

11:38 it can be a 10 million volt or can be a five minute bold

11:41 to Millersville change. It could be than that can be all varying different

11:46 in magnitude. And in this case looking at a deep polarization, but

11:51 can also have a hyper polarization. just depends on what type of channel

11:55 opening in which direction the islands are . Again. This happens to be

11:58 deep polarization. Now, the most type of channels that are going to

12:03 up. We're going to be sodium . And so if it's a sodium

12:06 , that means sodium is going to into the cell because that's the direction

12:09 tends to go. All right. so that's why you end up with

12:13 deep polarization. Really, I'm not to have a lot of fun with

12:19 . All right. So, what little slide is trying to show you

12:24 with magnitude and duration. All So, great potentials can have varying

12:29 and varying durations. It's dependent upon stimulus. I'm going to give you

12:32 dumb example. Alright, This example not accurate, but it's something that

12:37 can visualize. All right. If take a little tiny needle and I

12:40 like this, you go book, , you're going to get a very

12:44 quick response. Right? If it's and sure, it'd be like a

12:48 very small. Not quite painful But if I do a little bit

12:53 . Right, You're gonna you're gonna something harder. Would you agree with

12:57 right now, when I poke you a needle. You're not producing a

13:00 potential. That's why I say it's it's a terrible example. But you

13:04 understand magnitude, right? A simple tiny poke and move away real quick

13:09 going to be pretty soft response One is going to give you a

13:13 response. Right, okay, now the needle, me taking that needle

13:17 then digging it in and holding it for a while. Is that pain

13:21 last for a while? Okay, now you've got two different aspects to

13:26 ? You have magnitude. Right? much pain I'm I'm perceiving versus how

13:31 I perceive the pain. So, potentials are going to be dependent upon

13:37 durations of stimulation and how strong that is. And that's what this is

13:43 to show. You. Look, is a small stimulation. Here's a

13:45 stimulation. Here's a bigger stimulation. is what you that's showing you the

13:49 down here. This is showing you response to the cell. Alright,

13:54 deep polarization that's occurring in response to different stimuli. All right. One

14:00 greater than the next so and so . What this is not showing

14:04 These are each done with the equivalent of time. So, this particular

14:08 is not showing you duration. you can imagine duration would be in

14:12 direction because this is the time component here. Alright, so duration and

14:21 of the stimulus have a direct effect this duration and the magnitude of the

14:29 potentials response or the response that's produced the greater potential. Just gonna be

14:38 right. I've already kind of mentioned . Greater potential are going to be

14:44 lived. The intensity is going to short lived in the sense of it

14:49 travels a very, very short distance from the side of stimulation and there's

14:54 reasons why this is. But the part of the difference is that each

14:59 is seeking out its opposite charge and once it finds its opposite charge,

15:04 no longer having to seek for So, what you're looking at is

15:08 as you move further and further away the point of stimulation is those are

15:13 free ions that are still seeking out a partner. All right, so

15:19 why we don't see it. great potentials are very, very short

15:22 . They basically open and close the , the island's flow in during the

15:26 of open and then they just kind die out over this very short

15:29 And I think this picking Yeah, picture same slide. But it kind

15:33 shows us a little bit better. right. I want to ignore the

15:37 up here on the top, ignore one and the two up here or

15:40 two and the three. Excuse Um Because it is true, greater

15:44 don't have direction. It's like I , if you drop the rock into

15:47 pond, the ripple goes in all . Right? So, great potentials

15:52 not being directed in a particular They just go away from the side

15:55 stimulation. Just like what we saw the previous picture where was going left

15:59 right. That's what this is trying do. But I want you to

16:01 in terms of moving towards the cell . All right. It is going

16:05 opposite direction. But I didn't do any good. So, you can

16:08 here here is the point of So look at the deep polarization.

16:12 large that is. Again, we're looking at a value. It's just

16:15 it big? It's big as you away from the side of stimulation,

16:21 wave gets smaller and smaller and All right. Just like if you

16:28 the rock in because you have a splash and the wave would slowly die

16:32 over time. All right. And what's going on. It's dying out

16:39 all those ions are finding their Now, there are two different types

16:46 greater potentials and neurons that we need be aware of. Here's the good

16:52 . This is easy. Bad Lots of abbreviations. So when you

16:56 in abbreviations, it's the alphabet soup causes it to get confused and throw

17:00 hands up and say I'm done, going to law school. All

17:03 So don't be scared of the Alright. The first type. Here's

17:09 long name excitatory post synaptic potential. ? We name things for what they

17:14 for what they do. So excitatory you that's excitation synaptic means it's on

17:19 other side of the synapse. In words, it's in the receiving

17:24 All right. And it's a So, it's it's a membrane potential

17:28 . That's where the name comes But because this is such a long

17:32 . Years of words, we don't that. I mean, can you

17:34 trying to say that all the No. So, what we do

17:36 we call an E. P. . P. Alright, E

17:39 S. P. S a lot . Right, Okay. So,

17:43 an E. P. S. . But it's an excitatory post synaptic

17:46 . So, what we're saying here's our neuron we're going to stimulate

17:51 that axon terminal right down there and releasing this neurotransmitter because the opening of

17:57 in the receiving cell, that's the synaptic cell. And what's going to

18:01 is is when you open in islands . In other words, when sodium

18:06 open sodium flows in. And what gonna do is we're going to move

18:10 the resting potential and we're going to polarise. That's the PSP. All

18:16 . Now. It's a great So, it means very magnitudes varying

18:20 . All dependent upon the stimulus that causing that E. P.

18:24 P. All right. So, is a sodium dependent deep polarization.

18:31 right. In the PSP. now this is small. Deep polarization

18:36 we reasonably stay small. Is because gonna need to understand how we're going

18:40 produce an action potential. So, not enough to produce the next type

18:44 signal. So, this is a localized deep polarization occurring someplace on this

18:53 that we hope will eventually be strong to produce an action potential. All

19:00 . But this is a local And what it's trying to do is

19:02 trying to move towards that region right , which we term the axon hillock

19:07 you remember on Tuesday, today's Right? All right. Don't know

19:15 this isn't working. Try it Oh, that's why because it's not

19:21 right thing. It would help if action. Right? All right.

19:27 , that's the E. P. . P. If you have an

19:29 sp, that's excitatory, you must in I PSP one that's inhibitory and

19:35 it is. All right. I PSP. Alright, inhibitory post

19:40 . Everything you've just learned about the P. S. P E.

19:43 S. P is true for the . P. S. P.

19:45 right. Channel is opening The difference is that the channel that's opening is

19:50 going to be a potassium channel or channel. Now chlorine moves into the

19:54 . So, what you're doing is making the sell more negative chlorine moves

19:58 potassium channel potassium is moving out. the inside of the cell more negative

20:03 that's why you see from rest, see this hyper polarization that takes

20:10 All right. So, in what we're doing is basically saying we're

20:15 further and further away from our resting potential and further away from deep

20:22 That's what's going on here. All . Uh And that right. There

20:28 be high. Just ignore this. all that stuff out useless. That

20:33 just me copying the slides and you see the danger of copying slides.

20:37 right. So, these are two events. I can either cause a

20:43 polarization or I can cause uh I hyper polarization, but it's going to

20:48 through two different pathways. Now. thing is, is that the PSP

20:54 PSP are simply responses to two Talk from one cell talking to another

20:59 . Alright, It's on the receiving side. And it's basically say,

21:02 , I'm gonna de polarize because you told me to de polarize. I'm

21:05 to hyper polarized because you just told to hyper polarize. But they're too

21:10 . The PSP and PSP are too to cause the cell to really do

21:14 . And so what the strategy here , is to allow a single cell

21:19 respond to multiple signals coming in almost the time. And what we're looking

21:25 the bottom of this picture as well the top is you can see here

21:28 purple. It's a single neuron. then all those little blue things are

21:34 axon terminals of many other neurons talking that one in the middle. In

21:39 words, the purple cell is your synaptic neuron and then all the blue

21:44 are the pre synaptic neurons. So blue is sending a signal to the

21:50 . Now I understand I come from different generation than you guys and it's

21:55 more and more obvious every day. right. So, I know many

22:00 you guys do not use facebook. don't ever use facebook, but I'm

22:03 I'm going to use social media as example here. All right. So

22:06 is the social media that you guys ? So I can make this

22:10 Yeah, instagram, twitter and tick . All right. Let's say you

22:19 an influencer because you all are right? You have influence in other

22:24 lives. And do people have other on your life? Yes. So

22:28 are an influencer and you are dependent your millions of followers to determine what

22:33 is that you're going to do. right, today, I am going

22:37 do x or I'm going to do ? Right? I'm going to show

22:40 how to put makeup on so that look like a kitty cat making up

22:45 ? I don't know. Like I , I do not use social

22:47 So whatever crazy thing you guys are nowadays, I don't know. All

22:53 , But you're not going to just and do something, right? Because

22:56 now dependent upon your followers to tell what to do. So what you're

22:59 do is you're gonna say tomorrow I'm teach you this. You tell me

23:02 you want to do. So you're to send a signal out there

23:05 hey, here's a poll, tell what I should do. And so

23:09 ask all millions of your followers to tell me what am I gonna

23:13 Am I gonna do X. Or I gonna do? Why? So

23:16 of the followers are going to tell to do X. Some of the

23:18 are going to tell you to do ? Right? And depending upon which

23:21 the greater signal you're gonna do Or why? Whatever it happens to

23:25 . Think of those neurons, the blue ones as being your followers and

23:30 the purple one. All right. what are they doing? You have

23:34 cells are sending signals that are gonna deep polarization. You're gonna have some

23:38 that are gonna be sending signals that in hyper polarization. And what's gonna

23:42 is you're gonna look at which direction I go? In other words do

23:47 . D polarize or do I hyper when I take into account all the

23:53 that I'm receiving at any given And so those chips and dips the

23:58 of them becomes another alphabet soup. grand post synaptic potential, the

24:05 P. S. P. All . So the direction or the response

24:12 that cell, that purple cell is upon the grand sum of all the

24:18 . P. S. P. . And all the I PS

24:20 That it is receiving. All And what we do is we say

24:24 we're going to cause this sell the cell to respond, then we're going

24:30 have to sum up everything. And two different ways we can do this

24:33 temporal or spatial summation. And if amount of change that takes place in

24:39 self I. D. Polarized I'm going to reach a threshold that's

24:43 to cause the production of an action . But if I don't reach that

24:49 , then I get no action And so in other words, what

24:52 doing is I'm telling the cell I want you to tell the next

24:58 in the road what to do. is what the E. P.

25:01 . P. S and the I PS are doing their signals that are

25:05 in the production of a broader signal results in the message receiving to be

25:12 further down. All right, I'm just going to use these three

25:16 here since they're in the flashlight. right. So this is a pre

25:20 cell producing enough of a signal that this cell to tell that cell what

25:26 do. Does that make sense? , if this cell doesn't produce a

25:31 big enough signal to produce a signal , that cell is never going to

25:37 . And so what we're looking at is we're looking at a chain of

25:40 and how each of these cells produce signal. All right. So,

25:46 cell that's receiving the one here in middle, for example, is we're

25:51 at the G. P. P. Are there enough excitatory signals

25:56 cause deep polarization? Are there not signals to not cause a deep polarization

26:02 to reach this threshold? And we're to use it through these two

26:06 temporal and spatial submission. Yes, , I told you this stuff gets

26:09 little bit wonky here. Yeah. enough membrane neuron is getting more E

26:17 S. P S. No, . You get further and further

26:21 You get hyper polarization. So you further and further away from threshold.

26:24 it becomes even more difficult to reach . And that's actually a good observation

26:29 I did kind of skip over. , so, if you can imagine

26:34 , that's a point is a It's a measure of charge on the

26:39 of the cell. If deep polarization me closer to it, if I

26:43 hyper polarization that makes it further and away. So it becomes even more

26:48 for me to get to threshold. makes sense. Like part of this

26:55 bringing in. So the question is it really was a statement and

27:00 you're correct. The statement was so polarization czar always bringing me closer to

27:08 . The answer is yes, that true. All right. So,

27:11 I want to do is I want look at these two pathways, a

27:14 spatial summation. All right. And thing is it's not difficult. Come

27:21 there, we are. All It's not difficult. You just have

27:23 kind of take that step back and what we're looking at is right

27:27 we're thinking about one cell interacting with cell. All right. So,

27:31 going to use a clap as an of the E P S. P

27:36 being produced. All right. if this represents an E P S

27:40 , that's not very loud, is ? And so you can see in

27:43 first little area, this yellow area saying no submission. Think of each

27:48 those deep polarization as a clap. , you see a clap and you

27:51 another clap, right? Nothing Alright, basically, there's a certain

27:57 of sound being produced by my It's not very loud, but you

28:00 see the change. All right. temporal summation. What we're doing is

28:04 looking at two neurons firing at the time producing their own E P S

28:10 in the receiving sell each. All . So let's say they each have

28:14 own magnitudes. All right. It's clap is what I said. So

28:17 what happens when two people clapped I'm gonna clap once and then you

28:20 with me. Okay. Now to it louder? Yeah. So when

28:26 are added together you get a greater . So temporal summation deals with when

28:32 cells are producing a signal in that cells. So they're producing two

28:37 P. S. P. Which gets some together and it causes

28:41 to reach or get closer to Now, in the picture there showing

28:44 getting above threshold. All right. don't worry about that. That's just

28:49 artist. Right? It's just basically is small too, is bigger than

28:55 and it's because two of them are occurring at the same time. So

28:59 deals with firing. Right? Trying see if I have this,

29:09 Oh yeah, I did get it . All right. What I just

29:15 was spatial. All right. And reason how you separate these two

29:19 it's in the name, spatial means in space. So that's two or

29:24 temporal means closer together. So they're together in time. So let's back

29:28 up. Alright, spatial submission. one and then when two together you

29:35 she's right, you do it with 123 little bit louder. Okay.

29:40 three did it? 123, Try to get four whole class.

29:50 see a flatter. All right, spatial are we all the same

29:56 No. So more than one neuron an E P. S.

30:01 In the single receiving neuron. I got that your eyebrows are doing

30:06 . I was completely when you use backwards. So during spatial the only

30:14 in those no so special has to with the number of neurons involved.

30:20 that's that's why it's it's spatial. they both have a time component,

30:24 ? They're doing it at the same . But when you're dealing with spatial

30:28 more than its two or more neurons the word we're looking for temporal.

30:34 right. So let me explain temporal I cannot demonstrate this. I'm not

30:38 enough. But just bear with All right, temporal is when a

30:41 neuron begins to fire with greater All right. So here's the

30:46 right? There is the one sound , I'm not fast enough but you

30:55 see can you imagine it's going up it's not coming down but the next

30:58 is close enough that it keeps adding top of itself. So eventually you

31:02 something that becomes much much louder. , so temporal means one neuron firing

31:09 greater frequency. So the time and difference in time in which it's firing

31:13 shorter and shorter and shorter. So where you get the attitude. We

31:18 have something that's called cancellation and hear you do is you basically see uh

31:23 against the type of summation. But dealing with magnitudes ones of hyper polarization

31:27 polarization. Once a deep polarization. so when you add those two things

31:31 , they cancel each other out. , When you hear cancel, you're

31:35 of equal magnitude, but it doesn't to be equal magnitude. If you

31:39 something that's -10 and something that's plus , you're going to get -5.

31:44 ? That's still a canceling. They're in opposite directions. Yes,

31:54 you can have both. So, when we looked at that picture,

31:57 saw one neuron with thousands, I , the picture really was closer to

32:02 , but you can imagine all these uh acts on terminals terminating on that

32:08 cell. So, you might have cells talking at the same time.

32:12 might have one cell sending many many . All of these things. You

32:15 have one that's producing I PS PS that's producing E P S P

32:18 And so all of those things summed together collectively, is going to produce

32:24 response in that receiving cell. All . So, that's what the G

32:28 S P is is dependent upon the total of all the E P S

32:33 s and P S. P And we're not asking the question

32:35 how are we producing them? It's the big picture. All right.

32:42 , we're going to be using these temporal and cancellation. Should spatial temporal

32:49 plus cancellation to determine that G P . P. All right. So

32:59 moves us to the action potential. right. I'm gonna give away as

33:02 of the story? I usually try not give away the whole story at

33:05 beginning, graded potentials are used to action potentials there. I just gave

33:10 the story. All right. in essence, what I'm doing is

33:13 receiving a signal someplace on the cell or on the Dendrite. And that

33:18 is a short term wave or a distance wave. And if it's strong

33:22 , what it's going to do is going to reach the axon hillock and

33:26 it gets to the axon hillock in a strong enough deep polarization of the

33:30 hillock, I reach threshold and I an action potential. Okay, that's

33:35 goal of the G P. P. S. Alright, cannot

33:39 an action potential in the cell. , remember using our model, this

33:43 the first cell that produced the G . S. P in this

33:47 And what we're saying is can this PB strong enough to produce a signal

33:52 then communicates to this cell down Okay, now, your book uses

33:58 picture and I think it's kind of good way to look at it because

34:01 it does, it says when I at a graph, I need to

34:05 for where changes occurring and what they is they have marked off where all

34:10 changes occurring and they did it All right. So, whenever you

34:15 a graph and you're looking at it a line graph, you've got to

34:18 the question. All right. What this graph telling me? It's telling

34:21 there is change going on at very points. I just got to look

34:25 see where the points are changing. if you look at this graph,

34:28 it has, it has two parts it. And you're sitting there

34:31 I didn't want to take a biology . Just tell me how the body

34:35 . All right. Down on the . We have time up here.

34:38 have voltage. All right. And , what you're looking at is you're

34:42 at a graph over a period of . In other words, what we've

34:44 is we've taken a probe and we've it in the cell. And we

34:47 , what is going on at this in the cell? Over time we

34:51 to see the change of the membrane . And so what we're looking at

34:54 we're basically saying it is going through massive deep polarization and then it comes

35:00 through a quick re polarization, spends little bit time of hyper polarization,

35:04 returns back to rest at this particular over time. And what we're looking

35:10 is a waveform. All right. , over time, this is what

35:15 from kind of looks like it goes and then it comes back down

35:19 You got that kind of right the action potential is a much much

35:27 membrane potential change. It has all unique kind of characteristics. Alright,

35:32 we're going to get to the big . The thing that results in this

35:37 potentials are specifically voltage gated. So responding to a change of membrane

35:43 Where do we get the membrane potential from the grated potential that causes a

35:48 to open. So, it's going be the sodium channel or potassium

35:52 So, if I get a deep , that's a result of opening up

35:55 voltage gated sodium channels, right, comes in. I'm gonna get deep

35:59 . Re polarization is going to be of the first channel. Opening up

36:02 the second channel. Now, we're to walk through all of this.

36:07 , if you're like, wait a , I'm not entirely on board

36:10 I'm not sure where we are. panic. Just shit. If I

36:13 through 15 slides and you're still I don't get it, then

36:18 Right, well, you don't have panic. So, I want to

36:20 show you first the two channels. right. And the reason I want

36:25 show you these two channels because they're simple. One of them simple.

36:28 of them is a little bit more . What we're looking at here in

36:31 particular picture is a voltage gated sodium . It has two gates. If

36:35 look at this door arrived here, say there is one gate. But

36:39 you look on the other side on other side of the channel, you

36:42 see there's another door, right? an actual little tiny hallway there and

36:45 two doors and that's kind of what voltage gated sodium channel is. It

36:49 two doors to it. The first is called an activation gate. The

36:53 door is called an inactivation gate and exists in three states. If you

36:58 two doors, there must be three have one door. There's two

37:02 What are the two states in one situation? Open closed. Right.

37:06 right. So with two doors, three states. And the reason we

37:10 about these three states is because you to go 123 and in order to

37:16 , you go all the way back one again. You don't get to

37:19 back to two. You have to 123 and then come all the way

37:22 to the beginning. All right, I am the gate. I looked

37:27 like one. Right, here's my gate. Here's my inactivation gate.

37:32 right. In the first state I'm , but I'm capable of opening.

37:38 here's my activation gate. I'm closed I'm capable of opening. Here's my

37:43 gate notice which stated send right, down, it's gonna allow stuff

37:48 So if I get stimulated, I up the activation gate ions can flow

37:53 . But the moment I open up gate, this gate begins to

37:57 It's just a little bit slower. ? So this one opens up on

38:00 one slowly closes. So I got three states here. I'm close but

38:04 of opening. Now I've opened and this one closes slowly. So now

38:10 back closed and incapable of opening. I have to be reset. So

38:15 happens is is magic And then this opens up and that's where I'm back

38:19 this. There's no going back to center stage. So 123 is how

38:24 have to go then automatic reset. right, so closed, but capable

38:30 opening. That's first one opened and I'm inactivated or closed but incapable of

38:35 have to be reset. Those are three states. All right.

38:39 why do I tell you this? I mean and cruel. And I

38:42 to make you look at molecular biology it's fun and wow. Right.

38:46 , it's because it's going to help understand what's going on in that action

38:50 . All right. That's why we that's why we look at it.

38:53 other type of channel voltage gated potassium . Simple has one gates exists in

38:57 states. What are the two states open and closed? Easy. All

39:04 . So, Oh yeah, Back our picture of the action potential.

39:10 right. And what we're gonna do we're gonna walk through the different

39:13 So down here. Remember we had the different colors and stuff.

39:16 we're just gonna look at 123456. gonna walk through them like that.

39:20 right. So, the color you down here is gonna show you which

39:23 are open. Which channels are That's what this is going on is

39:27 to show you the degree of All right. So, remember what

39:31 said, is that a membrane at is predominantly permissible by which type of

39:37 , which is the most which ion moving more. Mhm, potassium

39:42 Remember, there's a domination by potassium is still coming in, but potassium

39:47 really coming out. So, that's the inside of the cell is more

39:51 . All right. And so, rest, that's what's going on.

39:54 just taking advantage of those leak All those voltage gated channels that I

39:58 showed you are all closed. They're active. They're not doing anything.

40:01 waiting for membrane potential change in order open. So, any sort of

40:06 you're seeing right now are leak And then those sodium potassium pumps

40:10 And then, you know, I'm you back where you started and then

40:13 comes back in. Then you go where you started. That's why we're

40:15 that membrane potential of -70 at Alright, so, that's what's going

40:20 here. That's our starting point at -70 Leak channels. Only potassium

40:29 And that's why we're at the 70 cell over here, remember told the

40:41 cell fire and produces any PSP the . P. S. P.

40:46 going to travel along the length of of the cell body and it's going

40:49 get to the axon hillock because this where we're going to produce the action

40:53 if it's going to be produced. right. So what's going to happen

40:57 is that when that E. S. P. Or that deep

41:01 reaches the axon hillock? What it's do is it's going to cause a

41:06 potential change that causes some of those gated sodium channels to open. Right

41:12 potential chain cause voting sodium channels to . If sodium channels open, I'm

41:20 deep polarization which causes more channels to . Which causes more sodium to come

41:27 . Which causes more channels to which causes more sodium to come

41:31 You see what we have here? a feedback loop. What kind of

41:35 loop, positive. Right? It's a snowball. Right, Take a

41:39 , put it on the hill, gonna start rolling down the hill,

41:41 up more stone is gonna get bigger bigger and bigger and bigger. All

41:44 . So, if we can get PSP to reach the axon hillock,

41:49 gonna happen is we're gonna start opening voltage gated sodium channels. We're going

41:54 flip, in essence, the In other words, it's going to

42:00 off being potassium being the dominant. what we're doing is we're slowly bringing

42:04 sodium All right. And so this what's going on that trigger events causing

42:10 deep polarization. Opening up the voltage sodium channels causes sodium to come

42:13 which is a greater deep polarization. this is that turning. And so

42:17 why we start seeing this thinks growing . So you're starting off flat and

42:23 off you go up like this. you've opened all the voltage gated sodium

42:30 , you've reached threshold. You can't any more. But now, what

42:35 do is you're now dominating the membrane of the membrane by sodium coming in

42:42 potassium going out. You've literally flipped . And so that's why we see

42:47 the next step, this massive We've reached threshold. That threshold being

42:53 opened up all the channels. So threshold isn't a point that we

42:59 voltage wise, it's a point that labeling as this is when this happens

43:04 it just happens to be at this voltage. Okay, It's kind of

43:09 chicken and egg explanation, right? not. So when you reach the

43:15 when all those volts educated channels, sodium voltage gated channels open your at

43:22 . All right now, I say , it's all. And so now

43:29 you're dealing with, you're dealing with permeability domination. It's almost 1000 fold

43:35 . And so that's why you're massively . Now we talked about just

43:40 I'm not going to see if I'm see if anyone remembers, Do you

43:42 the point at which sodium stops going the cell? Remember the number Close

43:49 but you're right. Well, I you to pick up. It's about

43:52 60. All right. That's So, what are we doing

43:57 And so if nothing else were to , sodium would keep going in and

44:02 deplore Ization would occur until you get plus 60. But does that graph

44:06 you hitting plus 60? No, about plus 30. And the reason

44:11 sodium is rushing in is because all channels are open. So something happens

44:16 there at the top that says sodium come rushing in anymore. What do

44:20 think that is? I've already told no thresholds down here. That's good

44:29 . What type of channels do we ? Yeah, I hope so.

44:33 how many gates does it have? ? And what do we know about

44:37 second gate? It closes slowly, its signal to close at the same

44:42 that we open. So, what really dealing with here, sorry,

44:48 actually two events. So at the of the peak there. So at

44:52 30 million volts. That's when those channels begin to close. So remember

44:57 what we did. This is at . We went open and then during

45:01 period of rapid deep polarization we're open we're slowly closing. And then at

45:07 top we're closing. So really what looking at is we're looking at event

45:12 takes place over time, right? instead of thinking about going up and

45:16 , think of it going left and . So at this point right

45:21 that's where opening at this point, there, That's when we're closing.

45:26 , It's a time dependent event. , all things being equal,

45:32 If nothing else were to occur then sodium would leak back uh would slowly

45:38 into the channel, but more potassium leak out. And so eventually you

45:42 go up, up, up, , up, up, up,

45:44 any return back to rest. But not what happens. We shoot right

45:48 down and the reason it shoots straight down to go through this re polarization

45:53 because one closing of the sodium But to opening of the potassium

45:58 Now, when do we open up signal to open up the potassium

46:01 A lot of people would say, it's right up here when that thing

46:04 that peak, it's actually at the point a threshold. The difference is

46:09 potassium channels are like your friend, slow friend. You know which one

46:14 talking about? The one you tell joke to? And they kind of

46:17 at you for a minute and then about two minutes later, that's when

46:21 start laughing, You're now picturing this of yours, right? That's what

46:26 potassium channel is. It's like here's gag and it kind of sits there

46:30 stares for a second says, oh I get it. That's when it

46:34 up. So suddenly sodium channels It got the joke, potassium didn't

46:39 the joke. And so that's what's at the top. sodium is

46:47 potassium is opening and so we see rapid fall and it's his re polarization

46:54 because it's your slow friend. All . It's also not only slowly opening

47:00 slow in closing. And so instead just stopping right here at rest and

47:06 off we go. It takes a for those too close. And so

47:10 state of hyper polarization, I guess looking at something not there yet.

47:16 , I'm gonna go ahead and tell this and then I'll come back to

47:19 picture. All right. So, state of hyper polarization right here is

47:23 function of those channels taking their sweet to close. And so that's why

47:28 not stopping at rest and coming That's why you hyper polarized. And

47:33 the return back to the resting potential a result of the sodium potassium HBs

47:39 going no, no, no, . I want you over here and

47:41 starts returning back to their original All right. So, the reason

47:46 shoot low is because the sodium channel excuse me, the potassium channels are

47:51 slow. All right. I'm going go back and just kind of show

47:55 this All right. This is to you see what's going on with regard

48:01 that bulge educated sodium channel. All here. You can see it's in

48:05 closed state there you're at rest stimulation along opens up that channel. We're

48:10 to see deep polarization and then what's is during that hyper or that that

48:16 depressurization event. Both channels are open then bang we close. That's why

48:21 going back down again. All And again, we're helped with this

48:25 here because we also have that second . So it's not just me.

48:31 Well, I want you to learn biology. There's a reason why we

48:35 about these things so that you can how the cell is managing this action

48:41 . How is it producing it? does it make something different than the

48:45 potential? It's because of the presence these particular types of channels.

48:52 an action potential moves. All We looked at this and we said

48:57 it's a wave. All right. what we said is when we look

49:00 that graph, we're basically looking at single point and saying what's happening here

49:04 this single point. We're basically watching polarization goes up and it comes back

49:08 . So wave have you ever done way Yeah. Have you done the

49:15 ? Have you ever done the See a lot of people do the

49:18 sporting events. We don't do the the sporting events at the University of

49:25 , excited about science? So we the wave in the classroom, you're

49:30 , I don't want to be She's sitting in the front going,

49:34 cannot believe I sat in the splash today. All right, we're gonna

49:37 the wave now. You don't have stand up to do the wave wave

49:39 really, really simple. All you do is do it like that,

49:41 ? And I want to show you a wave does. We're all going

49:45 participate looking out over there because they're cool for school. They think if

49:51 started over here, they don't have do it. But you all

49:55 We keep doing it, we all it ready. Here we go,

49:59 . And look what happens. You how propagates once a wave starts,

50:04 continues all along. Now, I you to picture for a moment that

50:07 guys are the cell. And what's here is I was that stimulus that

50:13 in the opening of all those And so once we reach that

50:17 boom, we got an action potential moved all the way along the length

50:21 the, of the classroom. That's what this is trying to show

50:26 . So when we're looking at that , we're literally saying here at this

50:31 , we're going to see what the potential looks like, But really what

50:35 doing is we're just catching a moment time to watch at this particular

50:40 what's happening along the entire length as wave travels? Okay, So it's

50:46 propagated event. It starts at the hillock and it's going to go the

50:51 length of that axon until it gets to the axon terminal. All

50:56 It's a long distance signal to get one side of the cell to the

51:00 . And we already mentioned how long the sell? Well. In some

51:04 it could be as the longest three . Right. What's that? I

51:12 just wondering if uh that's a great . Is there any loss along the

51:21 ? No. And this is one the key features of an action

51:27 I don't even have it on That's on another slide. Apparently there's

51:31 rule in an action potential. It's all or none response. Okay.

51:36 we call it the all or none , it's probably on to slides

51:39 I thought it was on here. it's all or not in essence what

51:43 is. It says if I create greater potential inside a neuron cell body

51:51 causes me to reach threshold in the potential, then I'm going to get

51:56 full action potential at the axon hillock then it's going to be propagated along

52:02 entire length and it's going to stay same height and the same strength the

52:08 way. All right. If I reach threshold then I don't get

52:14 So all or none. It's very . All right. And what we're

52:20 is we're basically just going through the over here, we're gonna start first

52:23 the sodium channels opening and then the area causes the next area to open

52:26 with a bunch of sodium channels behind , potassium channels open up the sodium

52:30 closed. And that's why propagates in way. So, if you know

52:34 different parts of that curve, you what's going on and why it's propagating

52:39 . Just like you when you are the wave, you're watching the people

52:43 on this side of you and you're the question, what is going to

52:45 my turn? Right? And then it got next to you, when

52:49 person was up here, that's when started right. And then you went

52:52 and then the person next to you doing the exact same thing.

52:56 what's happening at this point is depending what happened to the point before and

53:00 going to have an effect on the after. And that's why you're seeing

53:03 propagation. It starts at the axon and it progresses the entire way.

53:09 an action potential moves in one Notice when we started the wave,

53:14 started over here and went that Didn't go up the room and then

53:17 this way, it went only in direction. All right. Action potentials

53:22 the same way. They only move a single direction. Greater potential.

53:26 could go in any direction. It's like that ripple. We throw

53:30 rock in and then get a ripple the point of stimulation, axe potential

53:34 the point of stimulation travels in one . The reason for that, we

53:37 this a refractory period. The reason that is that sodium channel that we

53:41 about Because exists in three states One open, capable closed, capable

53:46 opening state to open state. three , but incapable of opening. All

53:54 . So, I want you to about this being the cell again.

53:58 right. This is the axon over . The action potential has just passed

54:03 here. The action potential in motion it's going in this direction.

54:07 what is going on with the sodium here? What state are they in

54:14 , incapable of opening? They have be completely reset. So, I

54:18 travel this direction because I can't make channels open. I can only travel

54:23 direction where the sodium channels are available open. And so that's why we

54:28 this refractory period. This area, region on the membrane that is incapable

54:33 being stimulated. That's what the refractory refers to. It basically says the

54:38 of time in which an action potential be produced under any circumstances, no

54:43 the type or the strength of the the stimulus. Now, there are

54:48 parts to it. All right. is what is referred to as the

54:51 and the relative the absolute is when have those sodium channels and their close

54:55 , or even in the open Alright, if I'm if I've opened

54:59 every sodium channel, is there any of state of any amount of stimulation

55:03 of opening up any more sodium I'm glad you shook your head.

55:07 . If all of them are I can't open anymore. Right.

55:12 , there's no amount of stimulation that I can produce more on top of

55:17 where all has occurred. All So, that's part of the

55:21 The other part of the absolute is period of time when the sodium channels

55:24 closed and have to be reset. no amount of stimulation that's gonna make

55:30 reset any faster. There's nothing no that's gonna allow me to go through

55:34 process of resetting all the way to beginning. So, under those

55:39 when those two states, and remember where those two states are,

55:44 this area right here in this right here. So, these two

55:47 would be absolute refractory period because I stimulate the cell anymore to get those

55:55 to open the relative refractory period. the other hand, is when an

56:00 potential can be stimulated. But you're need a stronger stimulus. Now,

56:05 this case, the sodium channels are to be in the uh they're going

56:09 be transitioning from the closed but incapable opening to the closed to capable of

56:14 state? All right. So, can open them. All right.

56:19 we have that problem of those slow channels. They're already still in the

56:24 state. They haven't gone through the state yet. That's why we are

56:27 a hyper polarized state. So, have to have a stimulus that's strong

56:33 to overcome the hyper polarization to get up to that point a threshold.

56:40 right. Put that in english. it took 10 million volts or

56:44 15 minutes to get from the rest their 15 million volts at the bottom

56:49 that pit is not going to be to get to threshold. I'm going

56:52 need more stimulation to get into that . So, it takes more

56:58 But I can do it. She's have to be a bigger, bigger

57:03 . All right. So, we to overcome the states of those channels

57:10 order to get another action potential. , the reason we have all this

57:16 why we have a refractory period is the way that our brains and our

57:21 system encodes information is in the frequency action potentials. We remember what we

57:28 is graded potentials can be summed. you remember that? We have temporal

57:33 , spatial summation. And we have . Action potentials are all or

57:39 So, that means I can't take action potential stack on top of another

57:43 potential. So, how do I if something stronger? Right? How

57:47 I know if that needle that I in you is being done harder

57:53 It's in the frequency of the action as well as the number of cells

57:59 are being stimulated. That's how your understands. Information is encoded in the

58:05 of action potentials. So, it's another picture showing the refractory period.

58:12 showing you it's limiting the direction in the action potential can go.

58:24 how do we speed up and slow action potentials? All right. This

58:29 where we have to understand a little about? No, I don't know

58:35 that go boom. You know what cars I'm talking about? You get

58:38 them. Their phone thumb, thumb . All right. You wanna have

58:42 car like that? It's okay. not gonna be mad at you.

58:46 just gonna All right. We got . Huh? You do.

58:49 All right. Oh, you got got a car that goes, did

58:52 do it yourself or? Okay. type of wire did you use when

58:56 made the cars that go boom? lose a little thin wires. Did

58:58 get big thick wires, huh? thick ones. Why do you

59:04 Because he told you to uh this why we have to know a little

59:09 of physics. Right? All So, here's the deal with

59:13 The thinner the wire, the more and more resistance, the harder it

59:17 to get signals or electrical impulses through . All right. So, diameter

59:22 . All right. So, you a signal to travel quickly and fast

59:28 a wire? You make a bigger . All right. So,

59:31 really powerful stereo systems are going to big thick wires. All right.

59:37 , look at your body. All . You're filled with wires.

59:41 neurons acts on nerves whichever way you to think about it. All

59:45 Now, in order to get a from my little toe when I step

59:48 that little tiny rock or that Right, I want that signal get

59:52 to my brain. So, what I want? I want a big

59:54 wire. But if I have a thick wire, my body is finite

59:57 terms of the volume inside it. , I'd have to increase the volume

60:01 my body. Which means I'd have have a longer wire, which means

60:04 have to have a thicker wire, means I'm gonna have to have a

60:06 body. And you see the problem comes here, right? It basically

60:10 this the cycle of of making me and bigger and bigger as I go

60:14 . So, thickness matters. The the wire, the faster things

60:18 But there's a limit to how thick can get a wire. So,

60:21 we have is we have another mechanism my Ellen. All right now,

60:25 Ellen is a form of insulation is a cell that wraps itself around the

60:30 of an ax on right. And a zone where action potentials cannot

60:37 All right. And so what happens is we're gonna skip over those areas

60:42 the Myelin is all right. And doing so we're going to speed up

60:47 propagation of an action potential. I want to do that just yet.

60:52 we are. Right. Thanks. , this is all the stuff you

60:59 to know for the exam. All , hold on here. I don't

61:04 why. Come on. Oh All right, let's I'm gonna end

61:10 show for a second and I'm just to go right back to where I

61:13 to be. I'm not stopping I'm just moving where? Who is

61:19 I'm looking for. Oh, come . Of course that would happen.

61:27 . There we are. Back to show. That's going to look really

61:32 in the video Because I think it records four frames per second. So

61:37 just gonna be like they're all over place. So the question was,

61:46 the naked neurons basically ones without my , where do they exist? And

61:50 everywhere. So we're going to take of both. Yes, ma'am.

62:02 . So, I think I'm hearing question saying is when the action is

62:08 action potential doing something is that kind Right. So we haven't quite got

62:14 yet. So basically if I tell that, I mean it may make

62:19 but I don't want to give up done it yet. That makes

62:23 So I'm hoping only putting it on edge of your seat. This is

62:26 exciting story about how we make my wiggle. Okay. That's stupid.

62:33 we'll get there I promise. And I don't well we'll blame it on

62:38 Rolex thing. All right. So is an example of my own.

62:41 are two types of my alan. right. They're different in the peripheral

62:45 system. In the central nervous If you don't know the difference between

62:48 . Yeah. We haven't talked about central nervous system of the brain and

62:50 spinal cord peripheral is everything else. right. And so what we have

62:54 is we have cells and you can what have they done is they've wrapped

62:58 around the acts on and you can there's a little tiny gap or space

63:02 between the points of my Ellen. right. The purpose of the Myelin

63:07 to cover up and hide portions of axon. And so what's going to

63:13 then? Is that action potentials can occur in those points where there is

63:18 my Ellen. Alright. That's called note of ranveer which is the next

63:23 . Please work. Okay. All . So you can see here this

63:29 an all good inter site. This the natural um aside or the Schwann

63:32 and peripheral nervous system. You can there's a little tiny space, little

63:35 space, little tiny space, little space here. Is it blown

63:38 And so there's that little tiny The distance between here and here are

63:42 enough that an action potential can step the Myelin. Okay, there are

63:49 enough apart. So that actually has effect. And so this is akin

63:54 what we're going to see in terms how conduct well, it's akin to

63:59 walking. All right, So the I want to use here. So

64:04 clear here, neural inside is going be in the peripheral nervous system.

64:08 use individual cells. So, these each 123 cells. In our little

64:12 here here in the central nervous In a single cell. One to

64:17 all sorts There's lots of all meaning many danger site meaning many

64:22 All right, so, it's that of Ranveer and what it does,

64:26 means that uh propagation is going to differently in a cell that has the

64:31 Nation versus one that we were calling naked cell. So, I'm just

64:35 show you really quick a propagation in naked neuron, in other words,

64:40 no Myelin is like walking total Right. I have to cover the

64:44 length because along the entire length the are those voltage gated channels. So

64:50 all going to open and close in . Just like when we did the

64:53 right? Every person in here did of the wave as you went

64:57 So the wave was continuous along the length. And so that's what contiguous

65:04 continuous propagation is. All right. basically like walking total hill.

65:09 if I'm walking to the hill, can get to that wall. But

65:13 there very fast. I mean, , I can do this. This

65:16 about as fast as I can Alright. Is usually where I do

65:20 race. You wanna race me? , you wanna race me?

65:23 Come on up what I want you to do as I want you to

65:30 normally. All right. And we're race to that second uh thing

65:35 Mark get set go. Yeah. . Mhm. Now, just to

65:43 it's not a flip. Let's do again. Just Mark Sit. I'm

65:51 going to win. Thank you. have a seat. All right.

65:54 , why was he able to go than me? Right, Because his

65:59 was allowing him to take steps over of the floor. Right? He

66:04 have to cover every inch of the like I did when I'm walking toe

66:07 heel instead, he's skipping over portions the floor, which allows him to

66:12 faster. All right, that's kind what salvatori conduction is. It's literally

66:18 from note of rand beers. A of ranveer to note of rand beer

66:22 again, for those of you who keen understanding this, this is the

66:27 of ranveer. The Myelin no action . All right. So you're hopping

66:32 one to the other and they're close together to allow you to be able

66:36 , if your gate is too can't do much. Right, There's

66:41 lot of work and you're not going move as fast. It's a visual

66:46 . Right? So the idea here we have some cells that are going

66:51 use contiguous or continuous uh conduction. are the ones that you don't need

66:56 quickly. Right? They can be and slow is a relative term when

67:02 talking about the nervous system. Or if you have to have something

67:07 fast, you're going to use And if you're really fast,

67:12 what are you gonna do? You're get better axons. Right, big

67:17 wires plus my island. So you have different speeds based on both diameter

67:23 well as the presence of my that's the idea and conduction, it's

67:28 to change. So this is just example of the contiguous conduction.

67:33 you can see it's entire length. it's this area in this area and

67:37 area, let's just keep moving forward story conduction. Again, statutory literally

67:43 to jump, that's where it comes . And so it's literally jumping over

67:48 Myelin to each note of ranveer along way. All right. You're skipping

67:55 the areas of myelin. There's just picture showing you that again right

68:05 why do we do this? we're able to conduct a lot faster

68:10 you saw. Also consumes a lot energy. When I'm doing south story

68:16 , I have to move a lot ions back and forth. If I

68:18 have small regions, I don't have move as many ions. So it's

68:22 , much easier. All right. , to answer the question about the

68:30 toe. Yes. Like you're on day. Yeah. So typically

68:37 the uh I r sorry not an is going to be my own aided

68:42 it's not you're not going to switch the two states. Now, developmentally

68:47 , you start off as all being . In other words, they're not

68:51 my elevated. But there are certain that are destined to become my

68:55 There are certain neurons that are destined never be my elevated. It's a

68:58 question. All right, let's come the last question that hopefully will answer

69:05 the big toe. Now, we've narrowly focused on what's going on inside

69:11 cells. Right, great potentials. potentials. Is this idea that these

69:15 just electrical signals, movement of ions signals over distances are very short

69:21 Alright. But ultimately what we're talking is two cells talking to each

69:25 All right. Remember what we said we had one cell releasing chemical that

69:30 another cell that causes an epi sp ? Or PSP. So, it's

69:35 once I was talking to the next result in a long distance signal down

69:40 length of the cell. All And so, where we have those

69:44 cells talking to each other? That what is referred to as a

69:48 Now, when we think nervous we think electrical, we think about

69:52 and greater potential. But the truth is that the cells, for the

69:55 part with a very very small very small minority. Most of the

70:00 communicate with chemicals. All right. releasing a chemical what we call a

70:05 transmitter to stimulate the next cell to that channel or cause that channel open

70:11 produce the E. P. P. Or the I.

70:12 S. B. All right. , this is what is referred to

70:15 the chemical synapse. The neurotransmitter in pre synaptic cell. So, if

70:20 synapse is that relationship between the The cell that's receiving or sending is

70:25 the pre synaptic cell. The Celtics is the post synaptic cell. All

70:30 . So, the neuro transmitter is released by the pre synaptic cell.

70:34 neurotransmitter crosses the synaptic cleft and it to a receptor on the post synaptic

70:42 producing the PSP or the PSP It's the name post synaptic.

70:48 right. So these are the four and I want you to see what

70:52 done now is we've we've taken a . It's more of a chicken and

70:55 question and we've kind of come back circle. All right. So that

71:01 potential was traveling on, traveling along it moved down the length of the

71:05 and it's now arriving down here at axon terminal and the axon terminal.

71:11 have volt educated channels but they're not gated sodium or bolt educated potassium

71:18 Those channels are specific for the conduction the action potential. Alright, the

71:24 potential is a signal that's an electrical . And so that electrical signal needs

71:29 be received by something on that receiving . So, it's a voltage gated

71:33 that opens. It's a different type channel. It's a calcium channel and

71:37 calcium is allowed to come inside the . And what it does that binds

71:43 um these molecules that are part of vesicles, we're not gonna go

71:47 What specifically is there? That's that and snap stuff that we talked about

71:51 earlier. Remember snaps. Don't if don't don't worry about it. All

71:56 . But remember the calcium comes in it causes these vesicles to merge with

72:03 synaptic membrane on the pre synaptic cell basically causes it to release that

72:10 That chemical signal. All right. chemical, whatever the neurotransmitter is then

72:16 into the synaptic cleft. Some will out. Some will get chewed

72:19 some will get absorbed. but some those will get across that synaptic cleft

72:25 they're going to bind to the receptor the post synaptic cell. And then

72:29 going to cause the channel open which the PSP. And the I.

72:33 . Be in the next cell. what we have now is we have

72:37 cell that is producing an action potential produces a hopefully a series of

72:42 P. S. P. That are strong enough to produce an

72:45 potential that then go on to the cell to cause any PSP and

72:51 All right. Now to answer the about what about my big toe?

72:54 , at the bottom of the of chain, what we hopefully have,

72:59 have a muscle cell that's going to to the neurotransmitter being released by that

73:03 is going to cause that cell to in the case of a muscle to

73:09 . All right So those are the simple steps. It's a little bit

73:15 than agent. Oh so three simple . I'll always find at least one

73:24 good. The rest you're going I know. Disney now. And so

73:28 just like pretending like you don't I don't know what that is.

73:31 home to your agent. Oh so . All right. I was I

73:35 the wrong direction. All right what we're looking at is we're looking

73:39 the process of diffusion diffusion. Remember an event that is very passive So

73:45 going to be a delay between releasing that neurotransmitter to stimulating. It's about

73:50 point five milliseconds. So it's very relative to us. But you can

73:55 if I have 123 cells in a then you can imagine there's a 0.3

74:01 3.3 over. Let's make our lives . 0.5 point 5.5 2nd delay.

74:06 from the first cell to the receiving it's going to take a little bit

74:11 time, 1.5 milliseconds for that process get all the way down to the

74:15 cell. So, complex pathways have synaptic delays. Simple pathways have smaller

74:25 delays. So, you can imagine signals are going to have fewer neurons

74:31 their pathways are going to have less pathways. Now if I've released neurotransmitter

74:41 the synaptic cleft, it's going to a response to the cell. So

74:46 don't want that response to occur for . I wanted to be a very

74:50 short, very, very brief Right? I'm just sending something out

74:54 I can get a quick response in next cell. So we have to

74:57 through the process of termination. Now is gonna be true throughout the entire

75:01 . Any process that you begin has have a mechanism in place to terminated

75:06 . So everything you do is already turned off as you go along.

75:10 right, But what we're looking at terms of the neurotransmitter, what's going

75:14 to happen? Well, depending on type of cell you're looking and there's

75:18 of different types of neurons. They different mechanisms. Good news. You

75:21 have to know which one does, I just want you to know that

75:23 are four mechanisms. Right? So is enzymatic destruction. You guys remember

75:29 red rover, Did they allow you do that in in in grade

75:34 I know that they're not letting you have recess recess anymore and stuff.

75:38 don't know. You a little bit on that. All right. So

75:40 those you don't know what red river . You get to walls of Children

75:43 you say red rover, Red let billy come over and then Billy

75:47 a leaping run as fast as you , charging at the other line to

75:51 that line, as the other line Children desperately try to hold them

75:56 And if you can get through that , you get to grab one of

75:58 players and bring them over to your . All right. Enzymatic destruction is

76:04 red rover. The difference is, that you have a bunch of enzymes

76:08 are designed to chew up that neuro and so they're out there going Red

76:13 . Red rover, let us you , Colin comb over the scene of

76:16 comes out there like chip, chip chop chop chop chop chop

76:18 And so they're basically chewing it up fast as as being released.

76:22 that systematic destruction, diffusion. you know, if you don't hang

76:27 Um at the synaptic Cleft, then not gonna do any good. So

76:31 you just diffuse away and that's how get rid of neurotransmitter. 3rd is

76:36 neuron itself can actually uptake. And you look at these pictures, these

76:38 different types of neurons. You can here here here here here here they're

76:44 taking up their own. So that's way it's like I'm going to release

76:47 . I'm just gonna go ahead and it as quickly as I as I

76:50 it to get it out of out of the snap to class.

76:53 then up here, you can see is a picture of a bunch of

76:56 and basically they're taking it up as . They don't respond to neuro

77:00 they're just trying to remove it from cleft. And so in essence,

77:03 have all these different mechanisms to ensure that neurotransmitter doesn't hang around too

77:07 We're talking millisecond timing. So what neurotransmitters? And we're right down here

77:14 the wire, aren't we? We've three minutes and I got three

77:17 maybe two. You're gonna look at and you're going to say I there

77:21 a whole bunch of things, I've to memorize. And really what I

77:24 to point out here is that there a lot of different types of friends

77:27 . There's about 100 different types. fall into a bunch of classes.

77:31 classes are based on shape. I'm to point out the ones I think

77:35 are important to you. That's what next slide really is. All

77:38 But you can go through this list kind of say, oh yeah,

77:40 there's peptides, there's fats, there's gases, nitric oxide, hydrogen

77:48 you know, that's what makes eggs stinky. All right. These are

77:52 ones you need to know. Sina . All right. You need to

77:55 that one. That was the first discovered it's the one that uh acts

78:00 the neuromuscular junction. It acts throughout body and other situations as well.

78:04 , it can be excitatory inhibitory. was very excited when they discovered the

78:08 neurotransmitter like who they must all be acetylcholine and they looked and looked and

78:12 at nothing is like calling. It's only one in its class. So

78:18 goes to show. So that's the one. All right. The second

78:21 you should know is glutamate Gavin Ask irritates you can do. But

78:24 notice I highlighted the three gs All . These are amino acids. You've

78:29 amino acids are how you build They also serve as neurotransmitters. Specifically

78:35 excitatory Gabba is a modification of Its inhibitory glazing is inhibitory. So

78:43 of those three. And last thing the biogenic amines again, this is

78:47 broader class. You can kind of over here. Here's a cata cola

78:50 for example, you wanna hear that . It probably scares you because it's

78:53 big scary word. But you already them, you know, epinephrine and

78:57 or at least epinephrine, you goes by another name. Adrenaline guys

79:02 of adrenaline. There it is. it right there, dopamine you've heard

79:07 ? All right. These two are , big boys, but you've heard

79:11 histamine? I'm sure you've heard of maybe. So, these are example

79:16 biogenic amines. What you do is an amino acid cleave off one side

79:19 it and make a modification That my one. No, I got one

79:25 . I throw this up here because said 99.9% of all the synapses are

79:31 synapses. All right. But there's small portion out there that are electrical

79:36 . And I want you to see we're dealing with when we're dealing with

79:38 electrical synapse. It is a cell has a gap junction with another

79:44 So, what you're doing is you're the ions from one cell to the

79:47 . So the action potential goes through of the individual cells. All

79:52 There's different ways that it can but primarily you're gonna see these in

79:55 and smooth muscles but they are also in the nervous system as well.

79:59 , while when you think of a , think chemical understand that There are

80:04 that are not that they are actually . Alright. And that's basically

80:09 Next Tuesday. What would have that ? You have to come here?

80:15 . Yeah, I don't have to up early and let's schedule my test

80:19 . All right. Have a great . You too. Yes.

80:26 deeply consider me a sort of review one was oh, it's gonna get

80:32 faster. Mhm mm. Don't worry it. Don't freak out about

80:37 It's all about organizing. You organize ideas, the information that you're

80:43 Go from big to small. What's the big picture? What did

80:46 learn today? And then you okay, I learned about, you
