00:01 and you? All right guys. what do we have on Tuesday?

00:14 . An exam because you aren't as as a freshman. I asked

00:19 Hey, what's coming up? They an exam on thursday next week.

00:21 up coming up thursday? Like an ? I'm like, all right.

00:25 enthusiasm. You're like exam. All . So do you show up here

00:32 exam day? You show up here the classroom? No. What do

00:37 do? Go take good acosta, your exam whatever time you selected.

00:42 where you go. You don't need come here. I'm not going to

00:44 here. So don't bother showing If you do, you're gonna be

00:47 and lonely. All right. That's one. So, if you haven't

00:51 your body, if you don't hear , well, you don't have to

00:53 your hand if you've never taken a at CASA, which is quite possible

00:57 this group. Even if you've been since freshman, right, they need

01:01 have a biometric. So what that is you go over to cost a

01:04 time. Do it like today. over there, show them your

01:10 I've heard from students that they're not driver's licenses anymore. They want student

01:16 . I don't know if that's 100% . Students sometimes lie. They

01:21 Okay. So they accept driver's Maybe the person who is working the

01:24 for the other person just said, don't trust that. You know that

01:27 driver's license doesn't look real Even so says you're 26 DQ'd joke.

01:38 That's number one. All right. just go over there and get your

01:41 done. I think they still do biometric person I talked to this

01:45 So they're only doing that at They're not doing it over here at

01:47 C b b C b D whatever classroom CBB and I don't know

01:51 Agnes Arnold. I think you just up so I'm useless when it comes

01:55 this type of information. All So, that's number one. Number

01:59 , We have class Thursday, but the Tuesday following this is September

02:05 . So the Tuesday following, I not be here in town. We

02:09 not have class. Okay. I'll out an email reminder to say we're

02:12 going to be here. You're still for the information. I will post

02:16 lecture from a previous semester that you go and listen to and be bored

02:20 pretend like you're in class some of you might want to just fall asleep

02:23 you're listening to it. All So, but just to let you

02:28 , we won't be meeting that All right. So today, we're

02:31 to finish up everything you need to about the test, but were afraid

02:33 ask. That sounds good. You where that comes from. That's a

02:39 from the 60s. Don't worry about . All right. Where we left

02:45 ? We were talking about exponential. that X potentials. What do we

02:48 ? We were doing the wave. want to do the wave again?

02:50 cause it's fun. No, you're looking at me like, I don't

02:53 to do it. See, they want to start. All right.

02:58 need a bigger stimulus. I Ready. We're gonna do it.

03:02 got to do it. We just do wake you up. Okay,

03:10 . See that was the way that went through. That was like an

03:12 potential. Alright, remember exponential. looking at a specific point in time

03:17 that. We're just asking at a a particular point what's happening over

03:22 And so basically we're doing is we're the change of membrane potential when you're

03:27 with action potentials. You have something called a refractory period of refractory period

03:31 is the period of time in which action potential cannot be produced. All

03:38 . So, with regard to our cartoon up here, you can see

03:41 there are two different parts to the period There's one that's called the absolute

03:46 period. That's where you drink vodka . That is a that's a

03:51 That's a funny absolut vodka. Thank you. Thanks. See,

03:55 least we get one laugh if I get one laugh. Two,

04:02 There we go. Then. See that means we're paying attention?

04:06 Factor period is a period of time which under no circumstance will you ever

04:10 an action potential then we have the refractory period? I'm not gonna throw

04:14 in here relative refractory period is the of time where in an action potential

04:20 be produced. But under only certain . All right. And if you

04:25 at the picture up there, you see the absolute refractory period encompasses a

04:30 of time where we're going through a polarization and we're coming back down the

04:34 polarization. And so the reason we have a refract or why we have

04:38 refractory period, why we can't produce action potential is because during the deep

04:43 period, remember what we said? had two different gates. We had

04:46 voltage sodium gate. We had a potassium gated channel. The voltage voltage

04:51 gate voltage, sodium gate voltage gated channels. In the words all backwards

04:56 , voltage gated sodium channel. Remember two gates. First gate was the

05:02 gate. The second gate was the gate. And so again, if

05:06 am the channel, here's my activation , it's closed. I'm stimulated.

05:10 open ions are flowing through and then my inactivation gate is going on during

05:16 period of deep polarization we said. I know it's hard to remember because

05:20 the last six minutes of class and when you all turn into zombies,

05:24 we said that we're opening up all voltage gated sodium channels. Right?

05:30 if I've opened up all the voltage sodium channels. Is there any amount

05:33 stimulation that can open any more? , that's good. That's not a

05:39 question. Right. It sounds like trick question, but it's not if

05:43 opened them all, can I open ? The answer is no.

05:47 I can't stimulate and create more voltage I've already done everything I can so

05:54 can't stimulate any further action potentials because nothing there to stimulate to open.

06:00 right. So that's the first So in looking at this on the

06:03 up from here to here, I've done everything. I possibly can when

06:07 hit that peak. That's when that gate is closed right now. Can

06:13 force that an activation gate open based what I taught you on Tuesday?

06:19 . So no matter what type of I do, that gate is

06:22 It has to go all the way and reset itself to the original

06:27 So it doesn't matter how much I . I can't open that channel so

06:31 can't get during that re polarization of . I can't get those channels to

06:36 . I have to wait till they before I can do anything. So

06:40 other half of the absolute refractory period during that period of time when I'm

06:45 the inactivated state incapable of opening. be reset. All right. And

06:51 there's that boundary where I flip over the relative refractory period. Now I've

06:56 a couple of sodium channels they've reset ? Right, and I've got more

07:01 are in the process of resetting All right. So, during the

07:06 refractory period, I can stimulate in hopes that maybe I'll get those things

07:10 . But there's one problem. right here at this boundary right here

07:15 they're doing the purple. Remember at point here, is when I open

07:19 the potassium channels, remember their slow slow friend, they're still open as

07:24 start transitioning over here. And I have to create a strong enough

07:30 to overcome the hyper polarization that those are causing. In other words,

07:38 I'm going downward, I might be to open up some sodium channels.

07:42 there's so many more potassium channels that I'm not going to be able to

07:46 any change. But as those potassium begin to close, and now I

07:52 these available sodium channels. Now, a possibility for me being able to

07:57 them. Now. Usually, what talking about, we're talking about down

08:00 now, where is this? This our resting potential. Right?

08:04 I'm in a hyper polarized state If takes 15 million volts to open up

08:09 voltage gated sodium channels at rest and down here Is 15 million volts going

08:16 be enough to get those channels to that hyper or that deep polarization and

08:21 like the answer right there. Now, I don't know if this

08:24 is down here, let's just say 20. So, I need a

08:28 stimulus. Something that causes a 20 volt change to get those that system

08:34 . So I reached that threshold. all my sodium channels are opening so

08:37 can get that spike again. So refractory period limits when I can do

08:43 potentials. Now, I'm going to this because again, Seaworld, Shamu

08:50 them. Right, you want to with me today? She's like,

08:54 , sure, fine. She's got lot of stuff in her lap so

08:57 gotta put that over there. it doesn't break anything here. Let's

09:00 do that. All right, We're to make her do the wave.

09:05 her ready? I'm gonna clap. gonna do away. So, that's

09:09 you gotta do ready? I am again. You see the problem

09:17 She's not doing the wave anymore. she doing? She's dancing right?

09:23 not missed. She's missing those Right? She's just playing. Please

09:28 me catch up, please. I don't want to look like a

09:31 in the class. Thank you for along the right, So, what's

09:35 here is only at those points where goes all the way up and comes

09:38 the way back down. Has she through an action potential when her hands

09:43 down here someplace she's ready to be to do it again. Right?

09:47 this is not the wave, This is hey ho mm can you

09:54 ? I don't dance, Right? kind of what's going on, Is

09:59 ? It's saying no, no, , you can't do go up there

10:02 just maintain it. You can't go and go back up. That's not

10:06 action potential. Now, I told the physical reasons why you can't So

10:10 we're expecting is to come all the back down before we get another

10:14 Now, what none of these charts showing you is a period of time

10:18 which this is taking. So that length across the bottom, there's roughly

10:22 4:00. These are really, really responsiveness, right? So you can

10:29 I can produce an action potential very quickly relative to what we call

10:36 . Right? I can produce in second. I can produce how many

10:42 action potentials. Judges do the right? For milliseconds times 2 50

10:47 one second do that, right? looking at all the people who've taken

10:52 in the last year and they're all at me like I should know.

10:56 think that's right. All right. , you can produce a lot of

10:59 potentials in a second time, But you can't produce an infinite

11:04 You're limited to how many action potentials can produce. And so what we're

11:09 here is we're coding the frequency of potentials. Alright, now action potentials

11:17 gonna be conducted around along the just like the like what we

11:21 right? with the wave right? conducts and what it's doing, it's

11:25 from uh basically it's covering the entire of the axon. So it's going

11:32 section to section two section. There's skipping, it's just it's hitting every

11:36 . The example I want to use is like if I were walking across

11:40 stage and I'm doing it toe to , there's not a portion of the

11:44 that my feet do not cover, ? So this is what normal conduction

11:50 like. All right. It only over a small portion. And what

11:53 doing is you're asking really? It's like a wave of of things moving

11:58 at what you're doing is you're counting this point, what is the difference

12:01 charge that's occurring? So I don't you to picture like like the surface

12:06 doing something weird like what we just . It's really just looking at

12:10 But what we're saying here is that deep polarization is progressing forward because as

12:16 . D polarize here, ions flow right? And so there are channels

12:23 the front end as you're going down axon that becomes stimulated open which then

12:29 more ions to flow in which causes deep polarization. And it's kind of

12:34 you watching the person next to you okay now it's my turn to de

12:38 and then it finished the action and on the backside that's where the refractory

12:45 is Right. Because what did we at in this picture over here?

12:51 this is just a point on the that we're measuring the difference in our

12:57 in the membrane potential. So you imagine the action potential is traveling from

13:05 to point to point to point to to point all the way down the

13:08 of the accident. Does that kind makes sense? All right. That

13:12 sense. Over here. They all . So that means you have to

13:16 . Right Because if you don't, you're going on there going on,

13:19 got a smart side in the dump and that's not gonna work, we'll

13:22 to make sure of. So this a localized event that is expanded from

13:31 to point to point. So it's series of local events all in a

13:35 along the lane. Now that action once it's triggered, it's just going

13:40 keep going until there's no channels to up. All right. So when

13:45 started at the axon hillock, it all the way the terminal and it

13:49 at the terminal because there are no voltage gated sodium channels for it to

13:54 . Otherwise it keeps trying to go . I don't know where it go

13:57 that point. Now it does. in two ways. So the one

14:01 just looked at is what is called or contiguous. And I kind of

14:05 looking this up because I've always seen all our textbooks contiguous. And then

14:10 read someplace continuous. I'm like, they got that wrong. And I

14:14 looking it was like no, so or continuous, meaning all in a

14:21 , just as we saw it spreads the entire length. The entire structure

14:26 . Now this will occur when the doesn't have any myelin wrapped around

14:30 All right. So basically you just nothing but acts on uh plasma

14:37 axle Emma. And so you're basically polarizing the whole thing. The other

14:42 is salvatori. Salvatori means to And so what we're doing now is

14:46 jumping over the length of the So what the my island does,

14:51 serves as an insulator and prevents the Emma from actually coming into contact with

14:58 surrounding extra cellular fluid. And so can't have action potentials wherever you have

15:03 island. You can only have action where there is no violence. All

15:06 , these are called nodes of rand . And so what happens is an

15:10 potentials produce here. And it causes deep polarization and the ions this next

15:17 is close enough that the ions can and cause deep polarization there created the

15:21 action potential and so on down the . Now, if you want to

15:25 this picture me walking across the Right? I'm literally missing portions of

15:32 stage as I walk, right? not actually jumping and I'm not going

15:37 do that because I'm sure I look . Right? So here that's kind

15:44 like toe to toe covering the whole here, skipping portions now, why

15:48 I want to do salvatori? Why I want that over the other?

15:53 reason is that sell territory conduction allows the actual potential to conduct faster.

15:59 right now, there's a whole lot stuff in here with regard to the

16:03 of an action potential. To things you need to be concerned with.

16:07 thicker the or the greater the diameter the axon. The faster and action

16:15 able to travel. You can think it in terms of resistance and there's

16:19 whole bunch of physics and math that involved in this. But basically fatter

16:23 allow for less resistance. So you greater conduction that easy to remember.

16:29 wires, lots of resistance. Poor , That's easy. Right?

16:36 you can imagine I have signals that need to get from my big toe

16:39 to my brain and back down again , very quickly. All right.

16:43 I don't need to be fast. , you can imagine if all I

16:46 to work with were diameters, I have some fat neurons or fat fat

16:52 on my neurons and I'd have thin , neurons that had very small

16:56 But if I have a fat acts like that, would my body have

17:00 be bigger? Yeah, I'd have accommodate that. And I don't have

17:04 one neuron, I've got thousands upon . Right? And so you can

17:08 my body would have to be bigger my body was bigger. Which is

17:12 of sad because it's already pretty Right then I would have to have

17:17 and bigger neurons. Which would mean bigger body. Which means bigger

17:20 Bigger body, bigger neurons. You it's a never ending cycle.

17:24 So to fix that problem, we up with that we didn't come up

17:29 but the thing that developed was my . All right. So my ALAN

17:35 you to keep a small diameter but be able to conduct quicker. It

17:41 allows for conductance Relative to a accent the same diameter. About a 50

17:47 increase in conductance speeds. All So that means you can have small

17:54 that are insulated so you don't have get a bigger body. Yes

17:58 Turn Which my depends on the signal is being transmitted. All right.

18:05 we haven't talked about neurons particularly. fact we won't today. Uh That's

18:11 the next unit is like okay, sort of axons or what sort of

18:15 do we have? And what do do? But you can think about

18:18 in these terms just drill generic ones signals that the brain needs to know

18:22 away. You need to be An important signals Not so fast.

18:27 ? So if you stepped on a , it's probably a good thing to

18:30 your foot up so you want a signals. But if you're standing on

18:34 , it's going to be slow It's probably not needs to be quite

18:38 fast. I couldn't hear you, , sort of, not really.

18:50 going to be applied to say but not okay. And I'll get

18:53 that just a moment. All Because I'm gonna I'm gonna distinguish between

18:57 we're gonna be talking about synapses And that's really what your question

19:00 What about the electrical and chemical and is this important? Yeah. All

19:09 . It actually does not. So what's interesting and there's there's a lot

19:14 work that's been done on on, my island in terms of how it

19:17 and stuff. But basically what it is it produces a mile and sheet

19:22 just wide enough so that each note rand beers close enough, that one

19:27 stimulate the one next to it, ? So you might be able to

19:30 an extra micron and totally screw everything . So, so those cells,

19:36 in this particular case, these are cells, they are are situating themselves

19:41 such a way. So that that is is exactly what you need to

19:47 and you slow down the process too , You kill it. So it's

19:51 specific. So that's all this thing talks about, it consumes less energy

19:57 well. So you're not sitting there to pump everything and I want to

20:00 real uh not real clear, but kind of clarify something here. In

20:05 of my descriptions. I use a of hyperbole, right? I

20:09 ions are rushing out, right, you hear me say that term?

20:12 that gives you an impression like thousands thousands of molecules are moving. And

20:16 truth is an action potential, you have one or two molecules moving across

20:19 membrane. It's it's not a lot , but I'm not gonna ask you

20:23 , how many molecules are moving across membrane. The idea here is that

20:26 doesn't take a lot of ions to these action potentials. But you can

20:31 if you're producing X potentials all the , you know, eventually you're going

20:35 start getting an imbalance. And so need to have your sodium potassium pump

20:39 , no, no, go back where you started, Right? So

20:42 energy involved in all of these And so if you have no my

20:47 that's occurring across the entire length. there's more ions moving. But when

20:51 put my Ellen, there's fewer spots you're actually moving the ion so there's

20:56 need to do more pumping, let's to pump house that, I'll do

21:01 . So it's an energy saving process you haven't learned this symbology yet anything

21:07 energy saving equals good right now, just in the body. If the

21:13 can find a more efficient way to something, it will and use

21:16 So, just as a general All . So, let me be 100%

21:21 here because some people do get That's the note of Ranveer. That's

21:26 all the activity is happening. This not the note of Ranveer. This

21:30 a mile and she this is what's and nothing is happening here. You're

21:35 over the mile and sheet to the Ranveer. Notre Ranveer to note of

21:40 . Okay. Some people get those sometimes and I don't want you to

21:45 those people. All right. Moving the electrical synapses. We're gonna be

21:50 at synapses next. That's what we're of spending the rest of this lecture

21:54 is the synapse. How do cells to each other? We've already talked

21:57 lot about those, but we're looking specifically at the synapse. Alright,

22:01 a type of perricone response. All . We have two different types of

22:05 . We have electrical synapses. This where I'll mention them once and we

22:08 never talk about him ever again. because All right. We spend all

22:12 time talking about the other one. chemical synapse electrical synapses exist in one

22:16 two forms. What is called a or what it's called is uh a

22:22 . So down here below this is reciprocal synapse. So, you can

22:26 what they're showing you here is ions in this direction, ions flowing in

22:30 direction. So, there's reciprocation from to cell. They're giving equal amounts

22:36 ions. All right. So, would be an example of a reciprocal

22:41 . Current moves in both directions, efficacy or equal efficiency. All

22:45 up there at the top. That's rectifying synapse. So, you can

22:49 the flow is in one direction. right. And then there are channels

22:53 they're not showing that allows those ions escape out of the cells. You

22:56 have a pump on the other cell pumps it back in and it creates

22:59 gradient that is always flowing in one . All right. So, basically

23:04 action potential is moving in one direction what is trying to do now,

23:08 these are supposed to be the same , but ignore that that era is

23:12 ? I just think that shows a example of of these two things.

23:16 , rectifying it in one direction. is in both directions. All

23:21 So, these exists cells uses as means of talking to each other.

23:26 see this in the cardiac system. see them in smooth muscles. That's

23:30 all we're going to say about We're more interested in the chemical

23:35 All right. And the reason we're in the chemical synapses because this is

23:38 neurons talk to other selves, including . This is how neurons tell muscle

23:45 to work as well. All And so the chemical synapse is basically

23:50 happens with the action potential once it down to the axon tournament.

23:54 that's what we're looking at here. there's the axon terminal. You can

23:58 the little lightning bolt, shiny things there. That's supposed to be the

24:02 potential. Six explosions, I don't . Mm. All right. And

24:08 happens is is that we're sending that potential from the axon hillock down to

24:13 axon terminal to tell the axon terminal release chemicals to stimulate the next

24:19 That's the whole purpose of an action . Alright, remember neurons can be

24:24 long. I mentioned the one of big toe up to my spinal

24:27 that's a long cell. That's like long, Right? And so,

24:31 I'm trying to do is I'm trying stimulate from the spinal cord to tell

24:36 big toe to do something. And , to make that signal fast,

24:40 use the electrical thing to go the . And then when I get to

24:43 distance to the destination, I can the chemical and get a quick

24:48 Right? I don't have to send chemicals in the blood stream and let

24:51 wander around my body for 30 minutes it finally finds my big toe to

24:54 , Oh, by the way, might want to move that.

25:03 here. Okay, so you're you're . But I want to make sure

25:08 we understand the language. Electrical signaling cell to cell in that last slide

25:14 cell to cell, right with regard the action potential. It's signaling from

25:19 side of the cell to the Right? So it's like I start

25:23 signal over here, it travels the and finishes over here. It doesn't

25:29 from cell to cell. And so one of the key things that we

25:32 to understand that with regard to electrical . We're talking about cell signaling to

25:36 cells. So it's not an electrical when we're dealing with the synapse,

25:41 electrical portion is to make the signal the cell traveled a long distance.

25:47 makes sense. Okay. And it's often, you know, if you

25:51 a young teacher who's teaching mp for first time, they start talking about

25:55 and electrical signalling and they're getting it because yes, there's an electrical component

26:00 it, but it's not the cell the electrical signals. It's doing a

26:04 signal. Okay, so you can down here this right here is what

26:10 called the synaptic clip. This relationship these two cells is what is the

26:16 . So what's happening is that action stuff happens causes release of neuro transmitter

26:23 chemical to stimulate the next cell. right, bye. Binding those receptors

26:28 the synapse. Okay, so I'm kind of jumping around here, just

26:34 that you can kind of see the picture. Big picture kind of

26:37 So the synapses simply the release of chemical signal from a sending sell to

26:42 receiving cell and then we give names those things to sell. That is

26:46 is called this pre synaptic cell, , that's complicated. And the one

26:51 receiving is called the post synaptic C We are biologists already. This

26:57 easy mode. All right now we're moving in the same direction. It's

27:04 directional. All right, so the potential which causes that neurotransmitter, that

27:11 is moving from the pre synaptic cell to the post synaptic cell one

27:16 You're not going the other direction. . Mhm. So the action potential

27:23 serves as a signal to get this flowing. When the chemical gets to

27:30 other side. It produces a graded . That's why we define those

27:37 So, action potential up there. happens causes neurotransmitter to be released,

27:43 binds its receptor causes uh the opening a channel which causes deep polarization in

27:49 cell. I'm getting a grated potential here. Okay. Different than an

27:56 potential as we defined. So where we get the neurotransmitter? Well,

28:04 found in synaptic vessels where the synaptic come from. It comes from the

28:08 body. They're transported via the secular knows a specific type anterograde, remember

28:16 grade moves it downward. And what do is we start the vesicles down

28:20 in the axon terminal. And so basically always producing neurotransmitter producing these vesicles

28:28 those vesicles down to the end over and they're sitting there waiting for that

28:33 potential to cause them to open and their materials. Mhm. Okay.

28:44 question is is the movement of the independent of the action potential?

28:48 Remember we talked about regulatory excretion or . Right so I'm constantly making neuro

28:55 , constantly packing packaging it up constantly it down to the axon terminal when

29:02 gets released is dependent upon the action . Okay excellent. Now. Oh

29:09 goodness. Big words in all complicated . All right. What I want

29:14 to take from this picture right All right. Is using those

29:19 Remember we talked about the the stairs the T snares? Right? That

29:22 snare. And that T snare allows vesicles to a line up right there

29:27 the synaptic end, right at the synaptic membrane. And look it's ready

29:33 go. So from here look at , it is already ready to already

29:39 to go. But it ain't leaving out. It's not allowing it to

29:43 . Why? Well because there's a that prevents it from happening. The

29:49 . Snaring the T. Snare basically up the situation so that vehicle is

29:53 to go. But we need a to cause that vesicles to merge with

30:00 plasma membrane. All right. That in is saying no. So we

30:07 to get rid of complex in. , what do we do we bring

30:10 calcium? How do I bring in ? Mm Well, I have this

30:15 potential that is being sent down the of the axon. Opening up these

30:20 gated sodium channels. It arrives at axon terminal. No more voltage gated

30:27 channels. Instead we have voltage gated channels. All right. So the

30:34 potential disappears, Right? Because the channels and the potassium channels are what

30:39 for the the conduction of the action . But it's a signal. And

30:45 that signal is there to open up channels, calcium channels open up calcium

30:51 into the axon terminal. What does do? The magic gets rid of

30:57 complex and molecule kicks out and says away. And now we get merging

31:02 the membrane. You're a transmitter gets . He is showing you here is

31:07 calcium coming in over here. The gets released. And then the uh

31:13 snares basically disassociate and are recycled. so then you bring the next testicle

31:19 place and it's ready to go. , it's a calcium signal that becomes

31:26 . And the calcium comes in because action potential is the message in the

31:33 to cause that channel to open. just that those channels are specifically located

31:38 the terminal end. That makes Now, I want to show you

31:42 picture showing you how this all Well, not how it works,

31:47 what you can imagine it looks like right here is your neuromuscular junction to

31:53 my muscle contract like. So I not produced one action potential. I

32:01 thousands upon thousands of action potentials. right. A muscle contraction is only

32:08 . When I stopped sending action the muscles relaxes. It's not that

32:14 . But I want you to just of picture that's kind of what it's

32:17 stimulate muscle contracts, remove the muscle relaxes. Okay, so what

32:22 means is that when I'm stimulating I'm exponentials in the thousands and look at

32:29 all those vesicles are lined up all up at the pre snapped again.

32:36 what's on the post synaptic side. would be called a your mustard

32:41 This is the motor in plate has special name but it's still the synaptic

32:45 . It's still the synaptic junctions. still the post synaptic cell. And

32:50 at all those green things. What the green things? They're the

32:55 the little blue things. That's the in the neuromuscular junction. That's

32:59 Acetylcholine is ready to go so that can get a contraction right? And

33:06 always making aceto calling because you never when you're going to call on that

33:10 to contract. That makes sense? , ma'am dinner special. Yeah.

33:20 it is. So the question is are the neurotransmitter specialist or is it

33:24 like a random bunch of molecules That's more or less. The answer

33:29 their specialist, their unique to the that's released. Human. That's where

33:32 going to go. We're going to by the end of the class that

33:35 are hundreds of different neurotransmitters. You've to memorize every single one of them

33:38 all the conditions under which they're being . No, thank you. You're

33:43 because you know, I'm lying right , but I'm gonna show you which

33:47 are important. Right? And so idea here is that each neuron produces

33:52 own neurotransmitters and those Oh, neurotransmitters to their own specific receptors and create

33:58 expectation or inhibition at the synapse, on which neurotransmitter you're looking at.

34:04 . So it's not just a It's actually very well organized. And

34:08 say that from a perspective of someone ago, that's kind of complicated.

34:13 right. Now, when you walk a room, do whatever business you

34:21 is you leave the room, what you supposed to do? Turn off

34:25 lights good. Your father taught you . Right, You turn off the

34:31 everything you turn on, you must off my Children still have not learned

34:36 and it drives me nuts. They on my computer play Minecraft. I

34:40 in there. Minecraft is still open they leave the computer. It's like

34:44 do know creeper is going to blow up? They don't care. All

34:49 , whatever. So that principle is principle that you can carry in a

34:55 . Anything that you turn on is to be turned off. There's already

34:58 system in place for every step that activated to be inactivated. All

35:03 And so when you send neuro transmitter the sin apps, we've got to

35:08 that you're a transmitter because we don't it hanging around causing problems. A

35:12 transmitter is a very quick rapid um to create change in the next

35:18 So we want to clear that synapse as quick as possible so that when

35:21 next signal comes along, we know going to happen. All right.

35:25 we can we're telling the cell what do. And so termination you almost

35:28 me fall right, termination can have of different for different ways. All

35:33 . First enzymatic destruction. All Now, all of these can be

35:39 or none of them can be It's just kind of a mishmash.

35:41 actually found this picture which is actually cool. You don't need to memorize

35:45 of it. It just demonstrates all different ones. And it actually shows

35:48 specific neurotransmitters or for specific neurons which they prefer to use. All

35:54 So the first one systematic destruction and like what the city Colin Colin gets

35:59 into the into the synaptic cleft and out there in the synaptic cleft already

36:03 enzyme called acetylcholinesterase that's there to destroy city Colin. So it's like the

36:09 game of red rover that you could ever imagine. You guys know what

36:13 rubber is. You're looking at me no red rover for those of you

36:18 didn't grow up playing red rover, have two sides, you have side

36:22 you have side B one side screams rover. Red rover. Let and

36:25 you name somebody, come over. let us see the Colleen come

36:28 Acetylcholine comes running across. It has break through the line and if they

36:33 then they get to grab someone and it to the other side or something

36:35 that. I can't remember the fun was you get to run into

36:38 All right? So, I want to imagine in that game taking

36:44 really angry pit bulls and putting them the middle so that when you run

36:47 the angry pit bull attacks you so can't get across, that's what the

36:52 is designed to do. It basically chewing up the neurotransmitter before it has

36:57 chance to get to the other So it actually reduces the availability so

37:00 the signal is shorter lived. So you're basically chopping everything up as

37:05 as it's leaving the cell. That's enzymatic destruction. Number two, the

37:10 , none of these things show But you can imagine um just kind

37:13 going into the synaptic collecting going, know, I don't have to go

37:16 in particular. I'm not driven or don't have to go that way.

37:20 can wander over here and I can out of synaptic cleft and not do

37:24 and then an enzyme comes along and me up and gets rid of

37:27 Right? So the fusion from the is another thing that can happen.

37:30 can be taken in by a neuron so here the uptake is in the

37:35 direction. So any of these, can look at it like here I'm

37:37 released. You can see the hair a little receptors like I'm being taken

37:41 and what can happen is I can be destroyed or recycled. When I

37:44 recycle it means put into another vesicles I can be released again destroyed means

37:48 up, sent back up to the to the cell body recycled or repackage

37:54 rebuilt and then sent right back down . All right. And you'll

37:58 look at how many of these systems that. This one does. This

38:02 does this one does this one this this one they all do.

38:07 The only one that doesn't is the that's a Colin ergic. In other

38:13 , the one that has the enzymatic . Guess which one we discovered

38:18 If you had to guess which the one that's not like all the

38:24 Colleen that was like the first neuron figured out and we just figured everyone

38:28 going to be just like that one not a single one has.

38:33 Mhm mm. It's the worst. but that's what we get for.

38:38 at muscles first and then the other which is a little weirder, is

38:42 we see here in the glutamate, glutamine energy. The energy is at

38:48 end. Right. And basically what have is you have astrocytes and other

38:52 that are always kind of surrounding these . And in this particular case the

38:56 sites can take up the neurotransmitter, it down and then send the parts

39:01 onto the neuron. All right so basically serves as a way to cleanse

39:06 clear out um the cells so four ways but you don't have to know

39:12 one does which that's not so All right. But the whole point

39:17 is why am I clearing it out I can get another signal right

39:22 Yes ma'am. Yeah I have no . S. S. R.

39:36 . Oh see you're asking now drug and I don't know those. I

39:42 no. See this is this is . You you want to see the

39:44 of my knowledge just started asking me about like drugs pathogens I can tell

39:50 about parasites that's about it. Yeah prejudice. Yeah. Right so

40:00 is good. So would the signal to grow or would it still be

40:04 . Yes. Right. And so idea here is your clearing it so

40:08 you can keep this consistent thing. if you're if you're allowing the neurotransmitters

40:12 around for a very long period of then you're either gonna inappropriately stimulate the

40:18 for a longer period of time. you can create stronger responses in the

40:22 . All right. So you can in a pathogenic environment if I'm not

40:27 up or destroying neurotransmitter, I'm inappropriately the next cell too long or too

40:34 . But in a non pathogenic what I can do is I can

40:38 or modulate how that neuron is responding the signal that I'm that I'm

40:44 So it serves as a mechanism of . If I can modulate or moderate

40:49 much I'm leaving behind and we'll talk that towards the end of the lecture

40:54 . That's a good observation. I don't. 11. Yeah.

41:06 . Why do you how do you it happens? Yeah. And I'm

41:11 doing this. Put you on the . But it's something that you guys

41:14 already learned. All right, you're , damn it. I should have

41:23 Close, but you're you're you're Right, So what you're doing is

41:29 that you are responding in a negative . In other words, what would

41:33 is oh there's so much neurotransmitter always stimulated. So the response in the

41:38 cell is let me remove receptors so can get back to a normal

41:45 Right. So the idea here is my normal response is is uh let's

41:50 say 10 receptors, €10 transmitters. I'm keeping your transmitter around. So

41:55 of getting a 10-10 responsible. Getting a 20 receptor responsible, then I

41:59 have what I'm doing. So I get back to my normal responsiveness.

42:04 right. So, it's what is down regulation you're down regulation you're down

42:09 the presence of the receptor to get normal response. You would. All

42:14 . So, you're less um sensitive guess tubes to the you're trying to

42:23 back to a state of normal sensitivity becoming less sensitive is really because you're

42:28 currently you're more sensitive to the What's that? Uh The answer is

42:37 , but and I'm not going to into the but but I mean over

42:40 periods of time you you basically habituate a normalized response. That's what you

42:47 a normalized response. Normally your body return back to that. But does

42:52 always no in question. Okay, saw the hand and yeah. So

42:59 dangerous if you like scratch your head something because I'm looking for those types

43:02 queues to grab my attention. Did have a question to now thought of

43:08 else? All right. All So, we're okay with termination.

43:12 right. So, we're moving now the next cell. What is the

43:17 synaptic cell Alright. And remember, producing a greater potential in that

43:21 And there's one of two types of we can get we can get excitation

43:25 we can get inhibition I guess we no response but excitation or inhibition.

43:33 . And so you can imagine if neurotransmitter is being released. What's happening

43:38 you guys remember these things right we saw them. These are the

43:41 potentials. It's how much are we ? If a lot of neurotransmitters released

43:46 say a little bit you get a greater potential of a little bit

43:49 you know? So on and so . So the potential that you're producing

43:53 the post synaptic cell is causing a polarization. Now, what type of

43:59 ? How do we know it's Well, what we're doing is we're

44:02 non specific cat ion channels. All . And so in this particular

44:06 what you're doing is you're getting a of sodium moving in very little potassium

44:10 out. And so you're getting that polarization. So excitatory neurotransmitters cause deep

44:17 in the post synaptic cell. And call those great potentials. Are you

44:22 for this excitatory? Post synaptic Now, the first time you receive

44:29 you're like a big word. Lots lots of stuff. So excited story

44:33 you? It's a deep polarization. is it happening? Post synaptic

44:37 And it's a potential. It's a potential. That's where the name comes

44:40 . So that's an E. S. P. So because it's

44:43 greater potential that means it can vary magnitude in accordance with the magnitude of

44:49 stimulus, stronger stimulations, stronger graded . Longer stimulations. Longer potentials.

44:58 ? There's no refractory period. Where we see refractory periods? Action

45:04 We don't see them with greater Right. And the unique thing about

45:10 potentials is that you can sum them . All right. So with an

45:15 potential, it's an all or none . Right? With a refractory

45:18 That means you get one. It goes to the same height that travels

45:22 exact same way all the way across membrane. And you can't get another

45:27 because of the refractory period. it's a one and done thing.

45:30 ? Yes. Right. So the the cell remember the inside the cell

45:38 negative. And what you're doing is you de polarize, you're becoming less

45:43 . All right. So how less ? Well, depends on how much

45:47 . Right? We can use some . Numbers five million volts 10 million

45:52 . 15 million volts. You something like that. Not very

45:56 All right. So, I can an excitatory potential and I can take

46:02 one and add them on top each and get a bigger one. That's

46:06 we mean when we some because there's refractory period. That means you can

46:10 them on top of each other and going to talk about this and just

46:12 go ahead. So remember. So vultures keeps this is a really good

46:22 because we're kind of running through all stuff. We really kind of ignored

46:25 the voltage gated sodium channels are You have the strongest concentration of voltage

46:31 sodium channels at the axon hillock. everywhere. But you have a high

46:37 there. All right. And then next highest concentrations along the length of

46:41 axon. Which would make sense because where the extra chances are occurring.

46:44 right, so, and we're gonna a chicken and egg thing here,

46:48 is very frustrating when you're trying to this stuff. If I'm producing grated

46:53 that are causing deep polarization, remember like a ripple in a pond.

46:57 so I'm doing this say at a , that ripple is going to move

47:02 the axon hillock. And so if can get enough of those channels to

47:07 up at the axon hillock, that's I produce the action potential. Now

47:11 do have these on the cell body not with a great number of

47:15 Right? So you can get kind a semi boost as you're going

47:19 But not a real boost. Everyone with the PS PS. Oh I

47:26 alphabet soup time. E. S. P excitatory post synaptic

47:32 So if I have an excitatory I must have an inhibitory one and

47:36 exactly the same thing. The difference is that I'm not opening cat ion

47:41 instead, I'm either opening up a channel. No, that's non specific

47:47 what I'm doing is I'm opening up channel. Chlorine channels get a little

47:50 confusing because their equilibrium potential is at 70 million volts. And if your

47:56 already at minus 70 million volts, I open up a chlorine channel does

47:59 move? No, there's no But if the membrane potential is ST

48:07 is chlorine going to move. so chlorine can be an inhibitory ion

48:14 after you've moved away from resting membrane in neurons. Other cells have different

48:20 memory potentials. potassium channels. On other hand, what we're trying to

48:24 if we open up a potassium potassium is desperate to escape from the

48:28 , isn't it? So, if rushes out, what's going to happen

48:32 the membrane potential, deep polarization is towards zero, becoming less negative potassium

48:39 out is more negative. Right? getting a hyper polarization. So,

48:45 name again here is inhibitory post synaptic . Just like the excitatory post post

48:51 potential. It varies in magnitude. no refractory period. I can sum

48:55 . All right, It's just a of movement in terms of resting membrane

48:59 . More negative. Further away from . Deep polarization. Excitatory post potential

49:06 less negative. Moving towards threshold to that action potential. Now, I

49:12 they could be summed this is going fall short. How many guys still

49:18 facebook accounts, anyone? Okay, a couple of you. All

49:22 Let's pretend we're gonna put a poll facebook. We're going to ask all

49:26 of our friends are very close right? Whether or not you should

49:31 up with your significant of it because always know better than you.

49:36 So you put out there to all 4000 friends, should I break

49:40 And this includes your significant other who now probably voting in favour of

49:44 Right? Should I break up with significant other and all 4000 of your

49:48 respond? Some of them say of you should. Others say no,

49:54 . They're the best thing that's ever to you because you're still on

49:58 Right? And so in the end look at the end of the pole

50:01 whichever is the majority. That's what gonna do makes sense so far.

50:08 grand post synaptic potential is like the . So in our little picture

50:14 what we have is we have a and it has a whole bunch of

50:18 tiny feet touching it. Those are terminals. The light blue is the

50:22 terminals. The purple is the post cell to all those light blue pre

50:28 cells, some of those cells are epa are are sending excitatory signals.

50:33 of those cells are sending inhibitory That means underneath each of those that

50:37 sending and receiving on the receiving You're producing E P. S.

50:40 . S. And I P. . P. S. If

50:42 P. S. P. S you less negative and I PS PS

50:45 you more negative. All you gotta is some up which is which And

50:49 in the grand scheme of things you're figure out do I move closer or

50:52 I move further away in response to of these signals? So the sum

50:59 all those E. P. P. S. And I PS

51:01 is called the G. P. . P. The grand got to

51:04 it with that big the grand post potential. All right. So in

51:10 words these neurons are not being stimulated one cell or two cells but thousands

51:18 cells. And so when a neuron producing an action potential it's in response

51:23 all the different cells that are talking it. Okay that are sending these

51:29 inhibitory signals. All right now we this through the process of summation.

51:36 I said there's that word summation and have two different types temporal and spatial

51:43 when you hear the word temper. do you think of time and

51:48 So, time and space. I'm to help you out man. I

51:55 am. Mhm. You need me I could come in here with like

51:59 nerf gun sometimes just start shooting at . I know it's hard it's hard

52:05 be in these seats, especially after year of being in a seat at

52:08 where you could turn off your camera walk away. I know I taught

52:13 that. Just press the button. the recording go walk away. What

52:20 mean? Teachers do that to Uh . All right. So here's the

52:28 types of summations. Alright, I'm gonna I'll show you what this

52:32 I'll show you when it's spatial here what happens with no summation.

52:36 this is our ground framework. So here we are producing some sort

52:41 E. P. S. Alright, so all of these look

52:44 they're gonna be E P S. . S. All right.

52:46 you can see I'm seeing a deep , but I don't That's what it's

52:51 and big, but over distance, it kind of dies down.

52:54 here's it's showing you threshold at the hillock and look that uh E P

52:59 . P is not strong enough to us to threshold. So we don't

53:02 an action potential. So, you see an action potential down here in

53:06 acts on All right. So, just looking at three different points what's

53:10 at the dendrite. What's happening at axon hillock. Do we get the

53:13 to know and what does it look when we do? Okay, here

53:17 spatial summation. Alright, so spatial is when you have two or more

53:25 firing at the same time. now notice there's a time component to

53:32 at the same time? All So to demonstrate this and this will

53:37 you up since you're going to be guinea pig. Now I'm going to

53:40 once, listen to how loud it . Now we're gonna clap together.

53:44 how much louder you see? The clap, the louder it gets.

53:49 right. And that's kind of what summation is doing. Its allowing for

53:52 additive effect at that particular thing. that's what you see here, we've

53:57 two of these neurons firing at the time, produces a larger mps P

54:04 at the axon hillock that PSP is large enough to reach threshold. So

54:08 do I get it? I Boom, boom to action potentials.

54:11 action potentials are carried forward through the Now, why do I get two

54:17 potentials? Because I'm above threshold for period of time where the refractory period

54:22 up, goes down and then it up and down again. And then

54:25 the time that second refractory period is , I'm below threshold again.

54:30 so the number of action potentials depends how long I'm above threshold.

54:35 so here I get a larger Look if I throw in a third

54:39 , I'm over the threshold for a period of time. So I get

54:43 action potentials. So what does this you? It tells you I hope

54:48 you're seeing. Is that the stronger stimulation, the more action potentials I

54:54 . So the strength of a stimulus encoded in the number of action potential

55:01 . Did you see that strength of potentials are not in the height of

55:08 action potential, It's in the number action potentials that produce. Right,

55:13 gonna talk about muscles when we get and I'm gonna lift up things in

55:17 room because that's what I like I'd like to show you how strong

55:20 am. Yes. Right. And going to lift up a pin versus

55:25 chair, say muscle. But I'm to do different things because I'm recruiting

55:32 producing more action potentials to produce greater , temporal summation. On the other

55:39 , is one neuron not to one where the firing of that neuron occurs

55:46 greater frequency. So the action potential so the so the stimulation occurs with

55:52 frequency. Now I'm gonna clap. only myself because there's only one of

55:56 , right? So that's not very , that's not very loud. That's

56:01 very loud. But when I start them closer and closer together, if

56:04 could go faster and be one very loud sound, right, there's no

56:10 in between. And so if there no rest in between, you can

56:13 to go back to your example, I'm releasing neuro transmitter with greater

56:18 So there's more neuro transmitter inside the , there's more neuro transmitter inside the

56:24 . I'm going to slowly move my up until finally I'm maintaining above threshold

56:31 I can get a series of action that are then carried down the

56:37 So you see what we're doing here in the pre synaptic cell we're

56:42 And we have actual potential that result post synaptic cell responsive graded potentials that

56:48 they're strong enough will result at least this case because we're dealing with a

56:52 , another action potential that then results the release of uh neurotransmitter in the

56:57 cell so and so on. So just communicating from cell to cell to

57:00 . What to happen. That kind makes sense. Mhm. Now if

57:06 have a negative signal right? If have an inhibitory signal, what am

57:10 doing? Well I'm just canceling it . So we just give it a

57:14 name called cancellation instead of some asian I take an excitatory post synaptic potential

57:20 five million volts. And at the time specially some eight right special summation

57:26 an I. P. S. . Of negative five plus five plus

57:29 five equals zero. So my grand potential is zero. No change Plus

57:41 -10 -5 million volts. I'm going get a hyper polarization. So and

57:46 on. That's what cancellation is just fancy word for just saying the simultaneous

57:51 of E. P. S. P. S. P.

57:52 So that I do not reach threshold I don't get an action potential.

57:57 of the cells downstream are going to . Now there are lots of different

58:01 of synapses. The ones that were common when we just looked at our

58:05 example accident heretic. So here's your . You can imagine that would be

58:10 riddick. There's what are called access or spiciness. So as we've got

58:16 looking at neurons, we start noticing they have these little raised areas and

58:20 kind of like synapses. They're like is a place where that synapse is

58:24 to occur. And so you have axon and that little spine so that

58:29 have this direct connection as opposed to generic dendritic one. We also have

58:35 synapses. We have access somatic So they're found all over the place

58:39 those are the normal ones and then some really weird ones. So you

58:43 have an accent on an ax on there. That would be Axl Jack

58:47 , right? You can have a on a dendrite which would be

58:50 Dendritic or you can have a dendrite a on a cell body which would

58:54 dangerous. Somatic. So these do . They're just not really common and

58:58 don't ever talk about them. They're that cousin that you don't ever want

59:03 mention. All right, dendrites can attenuate a signal, right? We

59:10 about accidents being wider diameter or smaller . Well, if I want to

59:16 or change a response, all I do is change diameter and a dendrite

59:22 dendrites faster signal. So it's There's no resistance. So, great

59:27 move easier. If I make a tiny thin dendrite then it's harder.

59:31 more resistance. So I get a response. So neurons can modulate or

59:38 signaling simply in terms of their And the problem is that it affects

59:46 happening at the axon hillock and that's this is showing us. Like look

59:50 little itsy bitsy tiny dendrite thick same size signal differing response here.

59:55 get an axe potential here. I . Now your neurons are going to

60:02 found in what are called neuronal What's in the Ronald pool, Junior

60:08 ? We're all hanging out together. guess we call those gangs.

60:15 you're not in a gang. Just trying to wake you up,

60:21 , throw things at you but you'd sue the school and I'd get in

60:27 . All right. Now, a is simply a group of cells that

60:31 together. So when you're in a group that's kind of like a neuronal

60:37 kind of Not at all. All . So, typically I can be

60:44 focus, which means that neuron, though it's in a pool is specifically

60:49 on a specific group of cells within pool. All right. And so

60:53 sending signals in a specific direction. types of bulls. Well, I'm

60:58 really so particular to who I'm talking . And so that would be a

61:03 . And so you can imagine for example, I have a neuron

61:07 is sending information up to the optic of the brain saying you're honest,

61:11 that same neuron has branches that go to the oral regions of the

61:15 Different ones go to this memory. the idea is that I'm just sending

61:19 in all sorts of different areas. ? So not quite so local.

61:23 really more widespread. So there's different . Now, each neuron is restricted

61:30 they only have a specific number of sources. They have a specific number

61:33 output sources. So, a single to a neuron isn't going to go

61:37 . All right. It's going to going to specific locations, but they're

61:41 , very narrowly focused or it can broadly focused is what I'm trying to

61:44 out of here. All right. other thing is that the more neurons

61:50 having a pathway, the more synapses have more synapses, you have more

61:53 delay, there is going to So that means it's going to take

61:57 to process information. So in very complex pools. Things are going to

62:03 longer to process versus very simple Where things are basically very few.

62:09 this is a joke. So just with me. It's like when you

62:12 out into the street and someone's honking you or maybe you're honking at somebody

62:17 they stop and they stare at you their brain is kind of like,

62:19 don't know what to do. Have ever had that happen? Right?

62:23 like I'm stuck. Well just think it as you're having a difficult time

62:30 because you have to go through every in the brain before you recognize that

62:34 you shouldn't be standing in the middle the street and you should probably take

62:37 steps forward maybe, especially in front my car because I got places to

62:46 . You're going to learn over the of the semester. I'm a completely

62:51 person in my car. You think a good question? I don't know

63:01 answer to that. I mean I I really don't. I mean I

63:05 that there is variation within those but there's probably a lot of similarities

63:11 that there's not a lot of So in other words you might be

63:16 is a dopamine pathway. So dopamine stimulate other cells are dopamine, but

63:20 there might be a divergence out of . So that you're now stimulating in

63:24 with a different type of neurotransmitter, that I don't know the answer

63:29 That's a good question. It's a question. Oh speaking of neurotransmitters,

63:33 talk about neurotransmitters. All right, is the fun, scary slide,

63:39 ? It says look uh transmitted by is simply the chemical that's being released

63:44 in these perricone fashions uh by a so that it can act on those

63:50 synaptic cells. Now, neuro transmitter act in an autocrat fashion in an

63:55 way. In other words, you're to have an axon terminal that comes

63:58 and bends back onto that cell and that sell directly. So that would

64:02 autocratic. But we're really just going kind of focus on perricone pathway.

64:07 going to act always at the you're always going to elicit a rapid

64:11 , release the neurotransmitter because an immediate , quick response. Lots and lots

64:17 neurotransmitters. These are the basic And as I said, the very

64:22 one ever discovered was a set of . And they were like,

64:25 we discovered how neurons talk to each and they started looking for more neurotransmitters

64:30 none of them fall into the same as a seat of Colleen, none

64:33 them look like a seed of None of them behave like casino

64:37 Very frustrating when you think you've discovered like that. All right.

64:42 we got the mono means some of names should be familiar to the catacombs

64:45 you may not know, but you do know dopamine. You probably do

64:48 epinephrine serotonin. You've probably heard of . You've probably heard of hit the

64:53 is what you think you have the histamine, those that all stopped

64:57 Right. You know that one. fact the history. Histamine is a

65:05 that some cells in the immune system Also not just here in the north

65:11 an inflammatory, it promotes inflammation amino . You changed Glutamate and expert

65:22 You should know. Gabba is a of glutamate. Listen, you should

65:25 as well the puritans, I mean when back in freshman biology you learned

65:31 80 p. And it's like energy the cell. And you're like,

65:34 , I got this. And now like no, it does other

65:38 And it's like it's like learning that pilgrims about the pilgrims in flight first

65:43 and then realizing they weren't the first in the U. S. You're

65:47 , really? Why can't you teach about Jamestown? When I was in

65:51 grade and said, I mean we wear that stupid hat and the white

65:56 . The dickie, you don't know today they make you do that.

66:05 . Did they let you learn about in first grade? Some of your

66:09 on I don't know. Jamestown is right. Never mind. Nitric cost

66:17 . These are the gases gases we them? Um ah gas it

66:25 So they're not neurotransmitters that we've technically gas emitters, but nitric oxide,

66:30 monoxide, hydrogen sulfide. These are molecules. You know what hydrogen sulfide

66:37 like. Yes, you do rotten and it is a chemical that your

66:43 uses to signal. Not everywhere. just a very specific type of

66:48 There are peptides. Usually these are be Costa created some of the

66:53 These are the cost annoyed that we about. They can be as

66:57 And this is just the short Right. But we want to focus

67:01 on even a shorter list. Um we want to do is we

67:04 all right, Colleen, santa Colin right here. That's what it looks

67:08 . Uh you ever wonder why you're organic chemistry? So you can look

67:11 pictures like this and go, I saw that in organic chemistry

67:14 That's a ring structure. All And basically it's everywhere. It's its

67:20 special category because nothing else looks like . It can be excitatory or inhibitory

67:26 on what system you're looking at when dealing with the muscle system musculature.

67:31 right. So the neuromuscular junction. , always, always, always under

67:35 circumstance. No exceptional rule. Okay, when we look at the

67:42 and parasympathetic systems, we'll see a of Colleen goes both ways. Amino

67:49 . We already know the protein building the two that are excitatory glutamate and

67:53 irritate. That should be easy to in with eight and then the inhibitory

67:57 gathered glassy. All right. It's one of those things. You just

68:01 and you go with it for the of your life. Then we have

68:04 biogenic amines. All right. These amino acids. What we've done chop

68:08 the car box select group. So is histamine serotonin epinephrine, norepinephrine

68:13 These all fall into that last Alright. The biogenic amines.

68:18 these are the ones we need to . All right. one way that's

68:27 what we've learned in terms of submission cancellation. One way we can regulate

68:32 is through pre synaptic inhibition or Now again, the words mean something

68:38 pre synaptic means occurring in the pre cell. And what are we

68:42 I'm either inhibiting or facilitating that cell doing the opposite of what it's supposed

68:49 be doing is really all right. , I'm gonna try to paint a

68:53 . What we're looking at. This is inhibition but it could be

68:56 You can see here, I've got neurons producing an action potential. The

69:00 travels down different uh branches of this on and stimulates three different cells.

69:07 the top one showing you that it's being stimulated. Right? But you

69:10 imagine that's what's going on. So can stimulate three different cells. One

69:14 easy mode with pre synaptic inhibition. have a different neuron having an axe

69:21 all Exxon IQ synapse, right happens be here at the axon terminal.

69:27 is an inhibitory neurons. It's releasing neurotransmitter. And so what it's doing

69:33 it's inhibiting that particular acts on terminal prevent it from actually producing Euro

69:42 So, the pre synaptic cell is inhibited at that particular location so that

69:48 inhibiting the response up here in the when we turn it into facilitation for

69:56 so that you can see this. excitatory neurons, no actual potential.

70:01 of these cells are being stimulated. . I have a pre synaptic cell

70:06 here that is not inhibitory but is excitatory. It's releasing its excitatory

70:13 That means this particular branch is being . So it's producing Euro transmitter.

70:20 what's happening in the target self a ? The other two cells they're not

70:26 stimulated, Right? Because this is stimulating at that particular location.

70:33 this is one way that we can responses. It's not like it's an

70:38 or none thing. If I can a neuron, I can regulate anywhere

70:43 its length, china. Cool. right, So this is not cancellation

70:52 this is not summation. That's one the key things to take away from

70:58 neuro modulators on the other hand, kind of like neuro transmitters, but

71:04 they stick around a little bit And what they do is they modulate

71:08 response. So this sort of goes to what the question was earlier is

71:13 ? Well, if I have lots neurotransmitter in in the space? Am

71:18 going to get a bigger response? answer is yes. All right.

71:21 how do I do this? I modulate the responsiveness of either the post

71:27 cell or the pre synaptic cell. right, so this is what I

71:31 you to picture. All right. can facilitate or inhibit facilitate. Makes

71:35 up. So how can I If I want to make a bigger

71:39 I produce, I can either release neuro transmitter. Right? So that's

71:44 for a longer period of time so can get a bigger response or I

71:47 release the normal amount of neuro transmitter I stimulate the post synaptic cell to

71:53 more receptors in place. So basically of there being one receptor for one

71:59 there's two receptors. So I got choice of where I can go and

72:02 a bigger response. I've facilitated the . That kind of makes sense

72:07 I can do the same thing. can I can inhibit at the pre

72:10 cell or modulate the pre synaptic I can modulate the post synaptic cell

72:14 a negative way. And if the synaptic cell is releasing neuro transmitter how

72:19 I inhibit at the pre synaptic What would be the way I could

72:21 that? It's up there on the always I've what do you think?

72:27 can reduce the amount of neurotransmitter being ? Less neurotransmitter. Less of

72:32 What's the other way on a reduced of receptors? Less fewer receptors.

72:38 chance of response occurring? Right. gonna probably refer back over and over

72:45 back to kindergarten games. Do you ever play um musical chairs? The

72:51 behind musical chairs is fewer chairs and . Right? So how do I

72:57 it so that everybody wins? Put chairs? All right. How do

73:01 make it so that everybody loses take chairs. Right. Or the opposite

73:07 if I have a static number of , I reduce the number of

73:11 Right? So you see I can can muck with either one of those

73:15 facilitate or inhibit the responsiveness. I The worst type of musical chairs was

73:20 they had like four people in one . Right? I mean it was

73:25 enough with two people, one chair they're all nudging each other. But

73:28 they're like, okay, we're taking two chairs, you have four people

73:31 and they're just like really one chair . I'm gonna have to beat up

73:35 other people to get that candy bar whatever it is with or Yeah,

73:40 typically neuromodulation is going to be these . So we're actually doing this through

73:44 protein coupled receptors were basically changing this through g protein coupled receptors.

73:50 in terms of responsiveness, right? get fast transmission versus slow transmission.

73:57 we're looking at this in terms of versus modulation, which is long periods

74:02 time. Right, so this up is neuro transmitters, right? You

74:05 see neurotransmitter neurotransmitter and then everything else of falls in between. Finally get

74:10 to neuromodulation? Here's how we see things. I wanna tropic when you

74:17 the word diana tropic means ions are . And so what we're doing is

74:21 opening up a channel. So here's neurotransmitter opens up a channel. I

74:24 deep polarization. Is that faster? ions flowing? It's fast. It's

74:32 . It's very fast. Right? of action potentials are action potentials

74:36 Yes. Right. So to get X potential I'm gonna have a fast

74:41 . So the greater potential whenever I'm with electricity and ion flowing current

74:46 meta tropical on the other hand deals signal transaction a bunch of proteins.

74:53 is that gonna be fast or slow to the first one? It's gonna

74:57 slower. Right. I've got to this on and I got to turn

74:59 on and I got to turn this and then turn this one and I'm

75:01 get some sort of effect. So slower, relatively speaking. But this

75:06 a very short response. This is longer lived response. All right.

75:10 so this is an example of g coupled receptors um acting. So here

75:15 our diana tropic. Right, so I am neurotransmitter open up a

75:19 I'm comes through. Men in the still can open up channels. It's

75:23 a delayed response. So here we g protein coupled receptor turning on G

75:27 turning on. Admiral cyclist turns on campy turns on protein can you say

75:32 turns on a whole bunch of stuff ultimately results in phosphor relation. Opening

75:35 that channel islands flow through you mean went through all those steps to open

75:40 a channel. Yes but you did other stuff along the way.

75:45 so meta tropic responses can result in opening of a channel. Look

75:49 gamma beta subunit opens up a channel . So they have to go through

75:53 those steps to get there. But you're doing is you're activating an opening

75:57 . Getting an idea tropic response or about uh bit of a tropic

76:02 Thank you very much. You So there are different ways that you

76:06 do this. Glutamate channels are an of this. So we have some

76:12 are meta tropic gprs, they're actually in glue. So you'll see

76:16 They'll say meta tropic glutamate receptors, are always producing E. P.

76:22 . P. S. All these there's a whole bunch of ionic

76:25 A tropic pathways we have the So here you can see AMp A

76:30 basically a cat ion channel. Glutamate along bind that opens up sodium comes

76:35 potassium kind of tries to leave but sodium comes in normal. Alright.

76:40 what's interesting is that we also have receptors NMDA receptors aren't open even under

76:48 stimulation. Right? You need glutamate they still don't open. You need

76:52 of the receptors available for them to . And so what happens is you

76:56 up the amp a receptor uh that comes in causes deep polarization which causes

77:03 to get kicked out. So now have an open channel and now you

77:06 Iran's moving through. So you get much more much different response. It's

77:11 slower response than you start because you to go through those two steps.

77:15 you have a different type ionic. now you have a modulated response.

77:19 cells have kind of receptors, but , it's sort of the same sort

77:23 idea here is that we just have channel that opens up and allows for

77:27 polarization of the cell cells can also plastic when you see the word plastic

77:34 changes and I know I'm running out time. Everything that's going to be

77:38 the math last three sides on the . So either I stop or you

77:42 and you can leave, I don't . Right, no one's coming in

77:46 this class. So I've got you you need to leave to go to

77:49 class really, Honestly, you had hand up question. No,

77:53 Okay. Just stretching because I'm keeping too long. Right? So with

77:58 to plasticity, plasticity means capable of or in response to different stimuli.

78:04 so in this particular case right here is trying to show you look if

78:08 give a low frequency stimulus, then gonna open up some calcium channels.

78:11 get some neuro transmitter? I'll get small response out of that particular

78:18 But if I stimulate the cell uh a much much stronger signal, I

78:25 a different response with lots of action , different neurotransmitters, more calcium going

78:30 the cells so on and so So cells can change their responsiveness depending

78:36 the type of stimulation that they're Mhm. So there are different

78:42 We can they have different names depending how they change. So we have

78:48 and potentially a shin. This is you some facilitation you can see here

78:52 helping to produce more action potentials. ation would be after the fact you

78:58 the action potentials. Depression and Can give you the example of situations

79:04 funny. The first experiments that we're in a situation where uh banana slugs

79:10 sea slugs, not bananas. You , sea slug is picture of that

79:15 ugly thing that you find early in morning, crawling in Houston across your

79:19 , right? Take that expanded out big, make it that big.

79:24 it has very fat neurons because there's milo nation. And so what they

79:28 do Is it go up because it those little in 10 eyes and you

79:33 a probe because you never hit him a stick. You hit him with

79:36 probe and they'd whack that lie. do you think that slug would do

79:39 that? I and they stick it and then what do you do?

79:45 it again. Slowly stick it Whack it again and eventually the slug

79:52 realizing okay this is my life now so now it doesn't ever stick.

79:57 a little idea. It's habituated and holding that I stock in. All

80:02 . That's an example of habituation. so neuron responds like okay this is

80:07 is always happening now. So I'm longer going to respond the way that

80:11 note that I normally do. All . So that's what we're referring to

80:15 little bit earlier. Last slide. term depression potentially. Ation. All

80:21 . This is how we learn in information is through potentiality shin.

80:27 Long term memory. So this is trying to show you what is

80:30 Long term potential nation is basically when get we have that relationship between the

80:37 synaptic and post synaptic cell. Remember said a certain amount of neurotransmitters being

80:41 . A certain amount of receptors there long term means we're changing that relationship

80:47 term. All right. So in words I might change how much neurotransmitters

80:52 released from the pre synaptic cell and maintain that for just make up months

81:00 . Right. Change number of receptors number of receptors so I can have

81:07 long term potential Haitian depression would just the opposite. I'm taking out neurotransmitter

81:13 ? Last neurotransmitter over long time, periods of time or I'm reducing the

81:18 of receptors on the post synaptic cell long periods of time. So now

81:23 relationship between these neurons is different than it began. And this is how

81:30 interactions in our brains change. How able to store up memory, how

81:34 able to create new actions and interactions the individual cells. Is they change

81:40 they talk to each other? It's always going to be the same.

81:44 a little bit of neuro transmitter. increasing and decreasing. Makes sense.

81:49 I kept you over three minutes. apologize, examines on Tuesday go kick

81:54 butt. Remember always big party. said yeah it's a cake. I

82:00 money set aside already and it's gonna good because I don't drink swill

82:07 Yeah. Mhm mm.
