00:03 This is a lecture number seven of . And uh these are the slides

00:12 the previous lecture. The previous lecture on available for you to view um

00:24 U. H. Video points. wanted to quickly address this section here

00:32 I expect from you to know. examine the three cell subtypes that are

00:38 in this simple reflex. What type south having morphological e what type of

00:46 they release where they're located and whether neurotransmitter is inhibitory or excitatory onto the

00:56 south. So if you have not up with this that I would strongly

01:02 you to do that. Also as review on Wednesday would do the same

01:09 if we campell circuit and as far describing the grammatical south based on the

01:17 junction functionality and all of the good we discussed in the hippocampal circuit.

01:24 some of the things for the member potential are quite basic. Mhm.

01:31 I think that the thing that I at the four ion sodium potassium chloride

01:38 calcium. The action is happening at level of the numbering. Mhm.

01:44 is an unequal distribution of charge across fossil of bi layer ions cannot really

01:54 . They have to cross through their ion channels. And you should start

02:02 notes on these terms here in You have minimal or concentrations of ions

02:11 in the parenthesis for sodium 145 Modeler on the outside About 18 or

02:20 other from the inside of the Another value here is E.

02:27 A. Which stands for the equilibrium for sodium. And we finished last

02:35 you're talking about equilibrium potential arms The equilibrium potential amino acids are you

02:44 blocks and those building blocks and building beautiful secondary tertiary ordinary Centenary protein structures

02:55 protein channels that are comprised of multiple units whether they're trans membrane or channels

03:03 whether they're trans membrane receptors without a inside. It also contains multiple of

03:10 subunits and individual ionic channels. When talking specifically now about voltage gated

03:22 And for the purposes of the next on action potential dynamics is voltage gated

03:31 that we're talking about. That means it's a change in voltage that will

03:37 these channels. But before that we went over some of the basics some

03:43 of biochemistry and biophysics of the waters hydration and movement. And the vehicle

03:51 that ionic channels are selective sibs for specific interactions and sodium channel for sodium

04:03 , potassium potassium ions, calcium. there's a variety of these different

04:09 and one cell can express up to different subtypes of these channels and because

04:16 express these different some types of that's why they have this different dialect

04:21 they all speak Arms Law vehicles. let me make sure that I think

04:30 some of the slides overlapped and in presentation so make sure that I'm not

04:42 myself. We talked about we haven't about this yet how we've gotten to

04:49 equilibrium potential insurance potential. Right? let me just there was this oh

05:03 goodness ! Hold on a second. . And on his law that we

05:16 and what I was mentioning is the scales for neurons. Millet balls,

05:21 volts, million pairs mega longs for , PICO and pears, PICO,

05:30 . Uh nano c minutes ions will down their concentration gradient. Simple diffusion

05:41 the equal out on each side, the concentration gradient. But there's also

05:47 battery that forms and this battery forms plasma member and in the battery positive

05:55 ions are attracted to cathode because the end of the battery negative and ions

06:01 florida attracted to positive of the which is an animal. Uh So

06:09 electrical potential, It's not just a gradient, the chemical gradient, but

06:14 also the electrical potential that has its electrical force. That will be responsible

06:21 creating a certain movement of ions that off across plasma membrane. So,

06:27 have separation of charge because ions are positively negative charge across the membrane gives

06:33 rise to difference in the electrical The inside versus the outside is what

06:42 number of potential is. So then will say, well, what is

06:46 outside charge? And the outside charge presumed to be zero, which means

06:52 outside Aquarius environment of neurons Is like grounded to zero Millersville value. And

07:02 the plasma membrane if you were to one of those electrodes that I was

07:07 you. You place inside the south plasma number and you have a difference

07:12 negative 65 millennials outside vs. Inside all of the charge is accumulated.

07:22 differences accumulated across the two sides of plasma numbering. That's negative 65 million

07:31 , negative 70 million bowls, -75 balls. Someone depends on the

07:39 someone depends on the structure of the That you're recording from with this resting

07:46 of potential value somewhere on -65 -17 balls. And these values are important

07:54 we will chart out the reversal potential are equilibrium potential values for each ion

08:00 you will be responsible for knowing them the task. Some basic things can

08:09 direction of net movement of positive If you increase the charge you have

08:15 polarization, that means there's more charge , hyper more polarity. So it

08:21 go from -65 to -75 -80 If you reduce charge separation It goes

08:30 -65 to -45, your deep polarizing plasma number. These are some of

08:38 basic things. And now when we about ions crossing across plasma membrane,

08:47 of these forces, the chemical gradients gradient, the chemical force and electrical

08:57 charge and the battery forces now come play. So the Librium potential forgiven

09:04 on E. Is a point at diffusion allow. And electrical forces are

09:11 and opposite to each other and therefore is no net movement of ions across

09:17 member. I also still moving across channels in the plasma membrane but there

09:24 no net movement favoring more flowing in direction capacity or outside or inside.

09:36 you have a movement let's say potassium in high concentration on the inside and

09:44 you have an A minus some proteins are negatively charged and we're trapped on

09:50 inside and they cannot, they they cannot cross let's say the potassium

09:57 is open. potassium starts crossing down chemical concentration gradient but at some point

10:06 is accumulation of positive charge by potassium on this side of the plasma membrane

10:17 discharge not the concentration not the amount islands but the polarity. The charge

10:24 the potassium builds up on this side the membrane starts repelling potassium against its

10:33 concentration gradient. At this point the force repelling the charge protesting to go

10:42 in. And the chemical number of saying we need to get diluted are

10:50 to each other and forest. That's equilibrium potential. We will talk about

11:00 I mentioned already how you have separation charge across plasma membrane and all of

11:08 charges accumulated on this small narrow foster , bilateral. If you look inside

11:16 cell and let's say you penetrate a the lectured and inside the south that

11:24 plus and minuses actually neutral in the and the core of the south and

11:30 charge on the outside and this acquis and the liquid is also neutral.

11:35 the charge the membrane is actually The difference the plasma membrane overall what

11:44 plasma membrane has is dictated by several species. Not just one potassium but

11:51 difference in the plasma membrane voltage and equilibrium or reversal potential for an individual

12:02 is what we call a driving And we'll talk about this in the

12:08 . Mhm. The apply only concentrations known we can calculate equilibrium potentials for

12:17 given ill. So we know these and by the way so this is

12:22 demonstration that it's not potassium specific sodium is abundant sodium chloride. A salty

12:31 basically on the outside of the sodium is going to be driven into

12:35 south but positive charge accumulation from sodium start repealing it back. So electrical

12:45 will start repelling sodium back and that believe in potential. So you have

12:53 even distribution of charge and ionic palms bionic parts if you remember they use

13:03 ATP and they work against concentration gradient that's all. They just need a

13:09 and they'll just turn for every two I honestly bring inside they're gonna take

13:16 your mouth two and three out to potassium three out. Then it's the

13:23 diagram that we looked at last black and there's basically a couple of ways

13:31 you can look at milan moller for eye on or a ratio of that

13:38 on on the outside of the cell the inside of the south. So

13:42 basically 20 times more potassium concentration on inside of the south versus the outside

13:50 the cell. Or 100 million moller the inside versus five either way.

13:56 that's just going to play into the for and equilibrium potential for each eye

14:03 and you can see that each eye potassium sodium calcium and fluoride Has its

14:10 value for the 2nd Librium potential. this is where we're getting at.

14:16 do we calculate this value? Why this value important? What does this

14:22 mean? And we'll come to Mhm a couple of times and right

14:31 . So the nonstick equation is what you to calculate the equilibrium potential,

14:38 potential or reversal potential as a call potential. Because the ion direction actually

14:46 reverses in the opposite direction of the . Nurse equation is E for an

14:53 ion is equal 2303. R. . Z. F log ion concentration

15:02 the outside versus higher concentration on the . Where r. Is the gas

15:08 T. Is the absolute temperature. course temperature in this case that we

15:15 this physiological 37 C body temperature Is the valiant or the charge of

15:24 ion and atmosphere. Day constant log and law algorithm of ion. And

15:32 this case we can plug in one our four ionic species plug in potassium

15:38 potassium on the outside versus potassium on inside. So you can look at

15:47 of the details here. We're not for deriving this equation. You're responsible

15:52 knowing the most important variables in this and that which for example was a

16:00 temperature. You should know it not in Fahrenheit button centigrade to and This

16:08 portion 2303 Now gets abbreviated and collapsed 61 50 for mm This is constant

16:31 Valence. Okay, so there's two in this equation valence and then the

16:38 and we set the temperature is So these we know all of these

16:41 . If we take the mama Vaillant such as potassium and we plug in

16:51 concentration On the outside vs inside. abbreviate we first of all, we

16:57 this 2303 are TCF to log potassium the outside versus inside. And now

17:04 of plugging in Individual Malamala Values, I told you there's a ratio of

17:12 , 20 times more potassium on the of the cell versus the outside.

17:17 so in this case you just plug . Yeah. Mhm one on the

17:27 and 20 On the inside for potassium take a log of that 61-54 million

17:36 becomes the value when you abbreviate this uh variables together. And you have

17:44 concentration log Gives you -80 million volts potassium equilibrium potential. So this is

17:54 you calculate it for potassium. If calculate it for sodium, you calculated

18:00 the same way. If you calculate for chloride, this sign changes into

18:06 because the valence chloride is negative For , this changes into 30.77 because calcium

18:19 a Duyvil in castile. So it divided by two 61.54. And so

18:29 this equation you're now able to calculate equilibrium potential for each individual ion And

18:42 reversal equilibrium or norms potential is Almost 90. Again it varies sodium

18:50 , 55 positive, 65, Calcium 123. 23. And remember calcium

18:57 the highest disparity and concentration across plasma . And I also stressed in the

19:04 that calcium is very tightly regulated inside cytoplasm because it acts as a secondary

19:11 , can also regulate the secular fusion neurotransmitter release. So it gets bound

19:17 by a lot of calcium patrolling calcium protein speculators and that is that is

19:26 . But so this is how we uh nursed potential. Now we know

19:37 to calculate equilibrium or reversal potential for ions. How do we calculate resting

19:44 and potential Rusting member and potential is using the Gold one equation and the

19:52 equation is essentially a variation of the depression. You have the same RTZ

20:02 variables. You have the same 16 million volt abbreviation here log the two

20:12 that are different about the golden Those two things are that golden equation

20:20 more than one ion you have sodium and potassium ana Number one.

20:31 2, it has another variable. that's permeability. How permeable is the

20:41 to that ion? Permeability is whether channel for that ion is open.

20:46 the channels are all open, the is high. If the channels are

20:51 , the permeability is low. So member and potentials. The cells are

20:59 with potassium. It's closer to the potential for potassium but at the same

21:09 it's most permeable to potassium and the is slowly leaking potassium addressed so it's

21:17 permissible to potassium. So addressed, number of potential is dominated. My

21:24 islands. But once the cell d polarizing sodium channels and more sodium

21:33 and more sodium channels open and the becomes mostly permissible to sodium and sodium

21:41 is dominating the deep polarization during the phase of the action potential. But

21:49 you were to plug in at the premier ability for potassium is

21:54 In fact it's 40 times greater than sodium addressing number and potential. And

22:00 you plug in the values for potassium concentration values here and calculate this.

22:09 get a number of potential. So most important ions that influenced the membrane

22:16 . The sodium and potassium too small chloride. And you can plug in

22:22 that chloride to these two ions in equation and see if it will change

22:27 member in potential by a lot. it will not because it's low permeability

22:33 chloride. So you can have different high concentration of an iron on the

22:42 . But if you have low permeability channels are closed for that i on

22:51 the value here is very low, small and the contribution and the change

22:57 the membrane contribution to the member and is also loan if you change the

23:07 Okay you change the permeability to sodium of 1-40. Now sodium is very

23:14 in charge of changing the overall numbering which is VM. Okay. So

23:21 . K. Or E N. R neurons potentials equilibrium potentials. And

23:29 . Is member and potential which incorporates ionic species in determining its potential

23:38 Mhm. Is it a major difference that we're talking about here now the

23:50 concentration from the outside of the cell tightly regulated and if you recall we

23:57 about astra sites and we said that have these processes and one of the

24:04 of these processes is to regulate synaptic . So now the genesis and ethic

24:13 . The other part of these processes involved in the blood brain barrier.

24:21 . Overall astrocytes have this extensive processes interact and are interconnected with other exercise

24:32 the brain through electrical junctions that we the gap junctions. So we'll discuss

24:38 when we go later in the course not the transmission. So astra

24:46 one of the things that they do they don't only regulate neurotransmitter. So

24:51 look at their regulation of glutamate in as well as gather both excited to

24:57 and their transmitters. But astra sites also regulate the local increases in ionic

25:07 . If there is a lot of activity nearby, there's gonna be a

25:12 of potassium from these neurons going onto outside of the south and the synapses

25:17 this increase in extra cellular outside What it does is that regular potassium

25:25 is about 3.5 to 5 million more here, which will keep the member

25:31 potential value at -70 close to resting of potential. Yes. What happens

25:38 the extra cellular outside potassium concentration increases 10, The 20 million moloch You

25:48 this value here of about -45 -40 balls, which is the deep polarization

25:54 is strong enough to start evoking an potential. So if you do not

26:01 external ionic concentrations and this is an for potassium if you have rises and

26:10 and you don't regulate extra cellular potassium , neurons keep the polarizing firing synchronizing

26:19 causing abnormal activity. In fact this one of the pathological models for evoking

26:25 like activity or abnormal hyperactivity and hyper of neurons in the brain astra sides

26:33 project there and feet and slur This increased concentrations of potassium distributed widely

26:42 their processes and distributed widely through the . That ostro citic networks, avoiding

26:53 concentration increases in this case for potassium , kind of siphoning and specially buffering

27:02 concentration instead of allowing for that potassium stay within a given brain region,

27:09 would mean that those neurons are getting and more active, more and more

27:13 , more and more active, more more synchronized that activity can spread astra

27:19 play this role of regulating and by and buffering spatially basically distributing specially this

27:28 concentrations of potassium mile they regulate and in part the homeless stasis or the

27:37 of the ions around the synopsis of brain. Uh huh. Uh

27:53 All right. So I'm gonna pause little bit here. Yeah, if

28:02 go to the lecture notes. You will find a file in your

28:17 says action potential and equilibrium potentials. huh. Then what what I do

28:25 is actually a draw it out, you know when you're doing online you

28:29 dry it online. Uh but it's drawn. So what I would like

28:40 you to do is to draw this , you know you take great

28:45 If you draw things, if you arrows to put a different colour,

28:50 something then you're taking good notes. all of these things is what stimulating

28:56 sensory uh information inputs and allow you memorize things better. So what I

29:05 here is I've created a millennial scale . This is the number of

29:12 Our MP stands for arresting members and . And so the resting membrane potential

29:18 about -65. Mobile right? This the equilibrium potential for calcium about 120

29:28 volts. This is a equilibrium potential sodium but positive 55 million balls,

29:37 potential for chloride from -70 or The equilibrium potential for potassium.

29:46 the book and the calculation that showed previous slides at -80. Um now

29:51 U -19. This is not a question of the exams at the stadium

29:57 . I got you know, the is that take home messages from the

30:04 questions are going to be framed in way that you're going to be able

30:08 clearly know and decide for the difference what I'm asking you. If you

30:12 tell the difference between reversal potential and and potassium, you have a

30:17 But it isn't going to be a if it's 65 or 75 reversal for

30:22 for something resting membrane potential for So, uh now this is your

30:30 potentials. All right, these are potential sort of derived from learns the

30:37 . This is the member in potential is VR Viana is derived from Goldman

30:45 equation of So, addressing member in . This neuron it's not ever a

30:54 line neuron membrane potential. And this number of potential fluctuates 65,067, and

31:05 neurons start receiving inputs, start receiving positive inputs, illuminates an absence which

31:13 deep polarization, us reminder 16 17 minus 65 then it receives inhibitor and

31:22 and it causes hyper polarization. So goes down again like a stock market

31:29 that and then boom. And that's you have to cash out or hope

31:35 keeps going. But with action potential you get enough of the deep polarization

31:41 would be glutamate excitation. And you not the resting membrane potential but the

31:49 potential threshold Which is the value of -45 normals you have this boom,

31:58 produce an action production and you have rising phase of the action potential where

32:04 have a lot of influx of sodium you have the following phase of the

32:09 potential where you have a lot of reflux. So if addressing membrane

32:18 resting membrane potential is dominated by potassium because the membrane is leaky and potassium

32:25 that are open and its most permeable potassium at rest at R. And

32:34 . Once it reaches the action potential , the cell membrane channels for sodium

32:41 all open And that cell is most to sodium allowing for sodium to Russia

32:48 causes very fast deep polarization which almost the equilibrium potential sodium but it reverses

33:00 and drives down and you have the phase where you have a potassium influx

33:07 the cell membrane. Now sodium channels closing potassium channels are all opening

33:14 potassium is flexing and is driving the and potential to the equilibrium potential value

33:21 potassium. So if you open all sodium channels, what sodium wants to

33:26 is what's the reasons equilibrium potential It to drive the membrane into positive

33:35 They then close these channels and we'll about these dynamics maybe later today,

33:41 on Wednesday. Now potassium channels are . If you open all potassium

33:48 all potassium wants to do is drive member and potential down to its equilibrium

33:53 allowance. Yes. Yeah. So come back and talk about the channel

34:04 . But this person that I highlight a person that like to finish talking

34:12 the resting membrane potential And the whole behind trying to determine what precisely is

34:20 structure of these channels and dr roderick which is shown here is the person

34:32 worked with channels. And he is a sort of an inspirational person from

34:38 career perspective, he was a medical and he was not really satisfied and

34:46 decided to become a a geneticist, electro physiologist really and studies potassium channel

34:56 and that wasn't enough. So he to pick up X ray crystallography which

35:05 a whole different beast being an MD medical doctor in Harvard too. Having

35:12 research lab during electrophysiology and flies And channels using toxins and genetics to preparing

35:22 for a massive biochemistry preparations. So very very precise and detailed that it's

35:27 art and science on the zone. like doing another degree. It's like

35:31 you finished Andy you did one more and then you decided I'm going to

35:35 another ph d. Yeah you know that's the drive that this guy had

35:41 Mackinnon you use genetic mutations use using . Toxins will bind to certain parts

35:50 the channels And there are a lot toxins in nature from spiders and from

35:57 different creatures in the world there are specific to certain ionic channels that will

36:04 to certain ionic channels. So shaken were shaker flies, they were shaking

36:10 they had a mutation of potassium channel in fact it became sort of a

36:15 for hyperactivity and even seizure like We have a lot of conservative amino

36:24 across species have a lot of conservative . So when you're working with fruit

36:33 it's not only the electro physiological behaviors you will see the similar in the

36:38 a capital brain slice and then the human brain, but it's also the

36:44 of the code that are preserved which important. That means that if a

36:51 , if something binds in three dimensions a channel and you know the sequence

36:59 which it binds and that sequence is in humans. You know that that

37:04 also has an ability to buy into same sequence preserved sequence in humans or

37:13 higher or other lower order seasons. he saw that this channel has sub

37:23 that there is this hairpin loop. hairpin loop is responsible for the filtration

37:30 the seething capability and selectivity of the channel. Poor and toxins and electrophysiology

37:41 necessary for him to derive. Why you use toxins? Why would you

37:46 electrophysiology? Because if you don't fly toxin, you know, sequence there's

37:52 things you can do you can do directed me to genesis, which means

37:56 can mutate a science on this long acid protein structure. You mutate a

38:06 , you can see how it affects channel. Is this channel conducting more

38:11 ions of potassium channels islands. you know how it affects the

38:17 Then you say, I'm going to a toxin and binds that want to

38:20 where they binds a certain sequence where blocks the channel certain toxins where it

38:28 ? You're starting to get to what slowly starting to get through the structure

38:33 that channel. What are the important which sequences the gatekeeper. It's not

38:40 entire protein that gets bound by an by a toxin by molecule. It

38:47 be a small sequence that gets bound that's the important one that closes or

38:54 . That channel channel has other functions involved in in cellular processes. But

39:01 or closing could be down to that key hole in the big door and

39:08 you don't have the right key, even the key but the right key

39:14 , not even the actual handle or the keyhole if you don't have it's

39:19 that the door won't open. But you do and you figure it out

39:24 you're on to something. Now you say that this sequence this toxin that

39:30 the sequence is responsible for opening and . This one is responsible for partially

39:38 this sequence is responsible for partially If I do this to this three

39:44 structure it keeps the channel open So you're now calculating out but it's

39:52 enough to visualize the structure and that's he is driven by. And that's

39:59 he picks up factory crystallography and says actually going to I want to see

40:04 . I want to see the produce next week crystallography is you project X

40:09 through a protein that's trapped in the . And it's like I said,

40:14 takes a PhD to even trap small on the crystal and then you project

40:20 X rays. You calculate out based calculations based on national visualization. Now

40:28 have this wonderful structure of the potassium , general atomic structure of potassium.

40:38 it takes a lot, it takes lot of passion. And the one

40:45 the most important take home messages for is you pursue your passion and sometimes

40:54 Ramona alcohol, you have to disagree your boss who's Camelia Goldie, but

41:01 are way more famous and and you right actually that to pursue a

41:11 it's not the degree degree is a to get to what you really want

41:17 do and there's twists in the career when you think I'm striving to do

41:29 , it's not the end And a of people don't retire at 70 and

41:36 of them pick up a new degree 65, so it's a winding road

41:43 it's the, it's the passion and goal to which you're trying to get

41:48 ultimately. And if you look at of the even entrepreneurial success stories,

41:57 hear about people when they make a dollars and they're happy and famous,

42:02 maybe they're getting divorced, but you , they come across as famous and

42:10 If you don't hear about 15 businesses they fail that miserably before the strike

42:18 this one, they persisted. So same way goes with degrees and sometimes

42:24 not even the degrees, it's the goal. And there are many different

42:29 in this winding road to get the . The door action potential. The

42:37 phase, the overshoot. When it above zero mobiles. The falling phase

42:43 undershoot when it goes below resting membrane is more hyper polarized and resting membrane

42:49 . The most exciting things that happens the membrane is the action protection.

42:54 of the action is in the is the you're on. Is that that

43:00 ? So for this when you follow recording for a second. Mhm mm

43:15 . The capital partners body fans and didn't and I always be aliens from

43:21 world. Mhm. So perhaps it's surprising that for a long time for

43:27 to discover that there are fundamental similarities the other systems of care for bars

43:32 restaurants. Yeah. Yes. It's condition of the useful difference in our

43:41 which enables scientists to undertake research has to a growing understanding of the mechanisms

43:47 our own system to control the contraction the natural numbers. Using precautions as

43:59 archive film shows a simultaneously tracking his muscles even a moderately sites with injected

44:06 huge amount of water with great Yeah. Oh In the mid 1930s

44:16 Professor Jason Johnson was engaged in the of squeezing me. Mhm. Young

44:23 an array of large tubular structures, as much of the Middle East in

44:28 squeeze metal and these structures will never with line. It would not be

44:35 from their similarities surrounding the advisers. , but there must be single

44:40 Giant Exxon transmitted doctors from the concentration nervous tissue called Listeria Gambia to the

44:47 muscles using electrodes. He stimulated the the proprietors and found that he had

44:58 produced large muscle contraction in the battle the large tubular structures remain in his

45:09 . Yeah, So these were indeed accidents. Scientists quickly appreciated the significance

45:19 young finding. But here at last an excellent large and robust enough to

45:24 what the needs are available at the and one of the Divine for several

45:28 when isolated from the others. The into the contents of the journal Exxon

45:38 be removed and analyzed into the discovery sodium more concentrated outside of themselves and

45:45 mines more concentrated inside by reading the acts on solutions and precisely the chemical

45:55 experimenters were able to unravel the mechanisms iron transport across the the german tax

46:06 large enough and robust enough finding electrodes be inserted through the cell membrane and

46:12 the accident. Right in these early . The fine glass tube was first

46:24 act on and to hero fret. like a fishing. Not then the

46:48 was used to introduce a fine won electorate which goes into the inside and

46:53 outside could be measured. But the of the early implants was fun too

47:00 for detailed study with any of the measuring devices of the 1930s, It

47:07 until the 1950s following the wartime improvement electronic equipment such as the cattle

47:12 To escape that major progress was Scientists found a million transmitted aka,

47:22 way in electrical potential that this fall action potential generated maybe by transient movements

47:30 Syrian a taxi, um, islands the middle membrane. Research in square

47:37 german Exxon and gravel makers and quotation of the action potential. This understanding

47:45 directly to the development of drugs that action potential formation. So actors,

47:51 and state now used routinely painters in and minor surgery. White.

47:58 so, Okay, that's
