00:01 OK. So when we started talking uh synaptic transmission, uh in the

00:08 section of the course, I reminded about the action potential. We talked

00:14 how the forward propagating action potential will the release of the neurotransmitter. And

00:19 back propagating action potential is very important communication back into the cell and synaptic

00:25 . In particular, a type of that we call spike timing, dependent

00:31 . Uh For the discovery of we talked about how acetylcholine was discovered

00:37 Odo Loi and this junction between vagus and cardiac muscle of the heart.

00:45 the fact that the Cty Coline was slow down the heart rate. We

00:50 distinguished between chemical and electrical synopsis and synopsis have no delay. Only a

00:56 of signal passes through the very important synchronization of activity of uh large neuronal

01:03 in very fast time and is subserving the structure of these gap junctions that

01:09 hemi proteins located on two sides of of the neurons. We have chemical

01:14 that will have vesicles that will have the release of the neurotransmitter into the

01:21 cleft and pro synaptic densities where you receptors located, notice the differences between

01:27 or inhibitory synopsis morphologically. And then spent some time talking about the motor

01:34 . In this particular instance, neuromuscular , we described the anatomy that this

01:39 a high fidelity junction has a lot acetyl coline that gets released bonds,

01:45 cogen receptors. The release of acetylcholine cause plate potential. It's always very

01:51 potential of 70 millivolts or so, subsequently causing the opening of the voltage

01:56 sodium channels in these junctional faults and influx causing the contraction of the

02:03 So big big events there are that binds to only nicotinic acetylcholine receptors.

02:10 need two molecules to activate one receptor that the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor will allow

02:18 the influx of sodium and influx of . And the influx of sodium through

02:23 receptors will cause the initial depolarization of muscle cells, subsequently opening volt educated

02:29 and calcium channels that will contribute to initiation of the action potential in the

02:34 fiber. So this is excitatory and it causes a contraction and here acetyl

02:40 , unlike in the cardiac muscle and skeletal muscle acts through nicotin acetyl poon

02:45 . And these synapses that are only have certain criteria for the neurotransmitter systems

02:52 have to be synthesized, release, the fact degraded. Uh Please review

02:57 and we talked about major classes of , amino acid neurotransmitters where we spend

03:02 of our time gaba glutamate signaling. is the major inhibitor neurotransmitter in the

03:08 cord. These classes of I means we discussed aceto Cole and dopamine up

03:14 enough and peptides. So peptide that different and the production synthesis and transportation

03:21 the neuropeptide was different from the uh such as a means and amino acids

03:28 they're made upon high demand of levels activity uh processed and placed into the

03:36 gran and like the vesicles. And not released as specifically just that the

03:43 which rather can be released along the extent as well. In general,

03:48 things need to happen presyn optically for neurotransmitter vesicle fusion. And that is

03:54 in the form of the presynaptic action which will open voltage gated calcium channel

03:59 the influx of calcium is necessary for fusion of the protein protein complex between

04:05 vesicle and the plasma membrane and release the neurotransmitters into the synaptic clap.

04:10 so there are some calcium sensor molecules as synaptic Tagment uh on the outside

04:15 the vesicles set for the signaling allow the fusion of the two protein

04:21 Exocytosis followed by the endocytosis. We about pre fracture technique, imaging uh

04:29 using electron microscopy. And then we discussed that these different technique of

04:35 . In this particular case, calcium die imaging, we imaging calcium concentrations

04:41 fluxes and calcium pres and the spatial dynamics of calcium. In this

04:48 then we talked about uh that in C N S, unlike in the

04:53 junctions, the E P SPS are small in the order of only half

04:56 millivolt. And sometimes you can have fusion uh instead of the full fusion

05:02 the C N S synopsis. And not as reliable as neuromuscular junctions.

05:07 then talked about the E P SPS get generated with release of glutamate and

05:13 . So E P SPS are much in the C N S about a

05:17 a mil from a single synapse, release. And IP SPS inhibitors optic

05:24 that are mediated by influx of negatively chloride ions. They're also very small

05:29 they're graded potentials. So, unlike potential in neuromuscular junction, the E

05:34 SPS and IP SPS are quite small their amplitude. Uh And when we

05:42 about direct signaling is ionotropic signaling. when there is a binding of a

05:48 , in this case, Gaba onto receptor, there's an influx of fluoride

05:54 in metabotropic signaling, there's an activation G protein complex. So there is

06:00 of ions through the receptor that binds that neurotransmitter molecule that there is a

06:05 cellular cascade activation. We spent quite bit of time in understanding the

06:11 So you should be responsible and knowledgeable the synthesis of acetylcholine from ace Cole

06:18 chat release of acetylcholine, uh binding acetyl colon in the C N S

06:24 both ionotropic nicotinic and metabotropic muscarinic acetylcholine degradation of acetyl colon by acetal master

06:34 . Again, a cot transport with of cole back into the cell and

06:38 through chat to acetylcholine. We also how acetyl cholinesterase inhibitors. So,

06:47 and pharmacological preparations that inhibit acetylcholinesterase are medications for Alzheimer's disease by inhibiting the

06:56 of acetyl colon is prolonging the bi of that acetyl colon in the synapse

07:02 therefore effect of that acetyl colon in synapse. Cylco will act as an

07:09 to both nicotin and muscarinic receptors. nicotine will be a natural agonist to

07:16 receptors and so will the ma Musca then they also have antagonists. So

07:22 will be inhibiting activity of nicotine or receptors and atropine respectively. We also

07:30 about the fact that botulinum toxins are to be interacting with this podium protein

07:37 fusion uh uh with uh botulinum toxins that are found from the sodium

07:46 And this is also the basis for and beauty usages for Botox injections,

07:53 well as well as uh pharmaceutical preparations treating migraines with Botox injections. And

07:59 there are many different substances natural as as human synthesized or gama phosphate molecules

08:05 act very much like acetal mester And many of these molecules will be

08:11 with the binding diffusion or the posy receptors for cole. And therefore the

08:16 function in the body or the brain on the exposure to that particular

08:24 Olamine. We reviewed. Also, talked about how tyrosine is precursor to

08:29 dopa, which is precursor to which is precursor for noa or precursor

08:35 uh all of these neurotransmitter systems that different uh functions. Uh and they

08:41 a way there are certain similarities. here, uh we talked about how

08:46 cocaine can block the reuptake of CTA means prolonging that they by availability of

08:53 . And how Cine get broken down , by monoamine oxidase. So it's

09:02 little bit different. You can have mono oxidase uh that are located preoptic

09:11 than the synaptic fla like we saw um for acetylcholine glutamate is the major

09:20 neurotransmitter amino acid. And then uh gets converted into the major inhibitor neurotransmitter

09:27 to one step reaction with the glutamic decor box list for Gad. So

09:31 of the cells that synthesize Gaba will gad positive and uh they will be

09:39 uh Ga Gaba. Uh So you stain them for both gabba and neurotransmitter

09:44 you're using different staining techniques or for serotonin, uh also tripp to is

09:52 to five hydroxy trip to which is to serotonin. Uh And here we

09:57 that the PROzac, a common uh name uh antidepressant medication would be blocking

10:05 retic prolonging availability of serotonin. Then talked about some nonconventional neurotransmitters and the

10:14 and also nitrous oxide, carbon monoxide AIC acid. And in particular,

10:21 we talked about uh anandamide and two glycerol here and the cannabinoids, we

10:29 how they are different from other neurotransmitters that they get produced on demand.

10:34 not stored in vesicles, they are soluble, they'll cross cross the membranes

10:39 retro retrograde target presynaptic C B one that are linked to G protein complex

10:46 will control or in this case, calcium channels. Therefore, there's

10:52 induced suppression of inhibition, depolarization, indued suppression of excitation. There's this

10:58 feedback loop that gets subserve by the the cannabinoid molecules. And if we

11:05 to label these different molecules, we use different techniques immuno as the chemistry

11:09 is based on the antibody and then hybridization which is based on radioactively labeled

11:16 with a known proper complementary sequences of acids. And then we talked about

11:23 of neurotransmitters, how you can apply and mimic the effect type of stimulation

11:28 prey. The and we said that are certain limitations to this kind of

11:32 application of fluids. Inevitably you have and it's nonspecific. So we discussed

11:37 technique of unga uncaging neurotransmitters where neurotransmitters get caged inside the chemical cages and

11:44 can get uncaged with photos with exposing them to very much uh more

11:51 spatial areas to single synopsis. And a more advantageous technique if you want

11:57 activate just one or two synopses in system. Then we talked about

12:04 So you have spatial summation. These the signals that sum made in

12:09 And you have temporal summation, the that sum made over time. And

12:14 talk about the length constant. So length constant is a distance that it

12:19 for this maximum current from point A point B. When it reaches 37%

12:24 its maximal current, it gives us is called the length constant. And

12:29 length constant lamb, the value, longer the lamb the value, the

12:35 is the length constant. The better is especially for temporal summation. If

12:40 cells have a longer length constant and varies across different cellular populations, the

12:45 constant itself. And then we talked how if you have excitation and a

12:51 of the exci inputs would be coming the distal dendrites of these neuronal

12:56 And of course, if they're unimpeded inhibition, these inhibitory synopsis uh will

13:04 , as you can see, there's of the dendrite here with excitation will

13:09 for a portion of that depolarization to perceived and felt by the of the

13:15 . And in the case, we about if you have excitation, but

13:19 also can currently have inhibition. This may cancel out the depolarization of the

13:25 of the SOMA. So that is this is depolarizing, this is hyper

13:31 , but it is also shunting or for the currents to escape uh before

13:37 reach the SOMA so that they cancel completely. So we talked about that

13:42 you want to see an action potential neurons that you have to activate dozens

13:48 of the synapsis, excitatory synopsis. you have to hope that there isn't

13:52 of the inhibitory synopsis activation so that cell here can generate an action

13:59 And that is again very different and a mass from the neuromuscular junction modulation

14:06 neuromodulation typically is referred to the metabotropic and the intercellular signaling cascades that such

14:13 for example, activation of secondary messenger A and B protein kinesis. Remember

14:20 kinesis was will phosphate the channels and will desolate them. And in general

14:26 modulating. So it doesn't have a effect on the receptors and mines,

14:30 it's modulating downstream of potassium channels, a secondary messenger and typically metabotropic uh

14:39 , especially long term transcription activation by secondary messengers can have a much,

14:45 longer lasting cellular effect than the ionotropic through ionotropic receptors. So that was

14:53 first uh major lecture on neurotransmission. we moved into the second lecture.

15:03 we talked about a reminder about different by which this can be measured.

15:12 uh let me check something real No, all good. I'm gonna

15:18 . So not to repeat through this . OK. These are the major

15:25 neurotransmitter systems that we are talking Acetylcholine is something you should know

15:31 really well called Lagan antagonist, muscarinic colon receptor activation will open up potassium

15:41 . So if nicotinic will allow for of sodium and will cause depolarization,

15:47 on the cellular level will cause the effect will cause hyper polarization. I

15:52 I raise the hand and uh I uh gladly uh take a question after

15:59 finish the section. And if you mind to maybe write down the question

16:04 the chat. And then when I this section, I will look through

16:08 chat, uh any one of your . So I encourage anybody that has

16:12 is to write them down. It be easier for me to cover the

16:16 this way. And some of the may get answered as we review more

16:22 . So then we talked about glutamate and we talked about the tri part

16:27 . So glutamate gets released, it bind some ionotropic and metabotropic receptors will

16:33 transported back into neurons through glutamate neuronal transporters. But glutamate also has

16:41 transporters and will be retic of glutamine in glial cells. And so in

16:48 , glia regulates how much of glutamate available to neurons. And that's an

16:53 feature. OK. Catacholamines again, of some of these because we talked

17:00 it for 23 different lectures, but cola means would be involved mood movement

17:06 , visceral function. Serotonin is more mood appetite, sleep learning, uh

17:14 G protein cascades. We talked about isotropic and metabotropic through Aceto Cole could

17:21 opposing actions on the cell and metabotropic have opposing actions to each other through

17:26 cell. So we discussed the stimulatory beta receptor that stimulates production of cyclic

17:33 and inhibitory Norine alpha receptor that actually the production of cyclic K P and

17:40 A. So one system is pushing production of a certain molecule and a

17:44 physiological effect downstream in the cell. the other one is pushing it

17:49 but it's the same molecule. not from the both, both

17:52 So really the posy tic effect on cell in either an entropic or metabotropic

17:58 depends on the subtype of the receptor for the metabotropic receptors, the subtype

18:03 the G protein complex stimulatory versus inhibitory which it may be um uh bound

18:11 . So that uh difference when we about uh I mean neurotransmitters is that

18:19 are not produced everywhere in the So we talked about how the term

18:25 amino acid neurotransmitters will be found throughout brain and the cells would be expressing

18:30 . And that no, for is confined to being produced in the

18:36 cus and serotonin molecules are confined to nuclei. And acetyl cole will also

18:44 its own specific nuclei where these are cells that will produce that particular chemical

18:51 the whole brain. So this is different. That means that the production

18:55 confined to certain nucleus, but the are quite diffused and there is wide

19:01 into the coral subcortical spinal cord areas these nuclei that produce immune neurotransmitters.

19:12 So it is just a reminder of endocannabinoid signaling that it acts through C

19:18 one receptors and inhibits calcium channels and regulate the release of both glutamate Gaba

19:25 delta nine tetra hydro Komal or delta T H C is a phyto cannabinoid

19:30 is found in cannabis plant. And also is an agonist and it interacts

19:35 the C B one receptor. So mimics the activity of the endo

19:40 In part. Uh This is excitatory neurotransmission and inhibitory amino acid neuron

19:48 . So, glutamate will have its transporters. Gaba will have its own

19:52 , glutamate. Then we talked about APA and MD A kate receptors.

19:58 talked about how an E P S , the initial segment is due to

20:03 APA receptor activation and the late segment the E P S P is due

20:08 the an MD A receptor activation. that is because an MD A receptor

20:12 a magnesium block. So when glutamate released and it will bind to amp

20:16 interceptors, it will open ample receptors cause the initial depolarization through a A

20:22 subsequently opening an MD A receptor and the depolarization that accounts for the late

20:29 of the exci posy potential E P P. So an MD A receptor

20:34 it to be uh fully engaged. needs glutamate pre synoptic activation glycine as

20:40 co factor and it's a coincident So it needs to coincidentally know that

20:46 receptor has depolarized the posy tic which will relieve the magnesium block and

20:52 for the influx of sodium calcium and . So, not an MD A

20:57 are always permeable to sodium and potassium in some instances to calcium, but

21:04 an MD A receptors are permeable for influx of sodium and calcium. Because

21:09 MD A receptor is significant for pre by synaptic activation. It's very important

21:15 synaptic plasticity because it's also a significant of influx of sodium and calcium,

21:21 serves as a secondary messenger. Uh one of them will have their own

21:28 APA and an MD A and their antagonist C N Q X for non

21:32 MD A and A PV or A five for an MD A receptors.

21:36 these receptor channels will also have many different binding sides. So for

21:43 magnesium binding site, glycine glutamate, also things like illicit street drugs,

21:49 P or uh angel dust that are uh and dangerous drugs that can activate

21:57 MD A receptor to much different degree hallucinations. And schizophrenia potentially.

22:04 both of these not an MD and A I ionotropic and that is different

22:09 metabotropic Luter signaling in this diagram. explain how in the normal physiological conditions

22:16 the left, the 1.2 millimoles there's very little currents of these depolarized

22:22 hyper polarized potentials at minus 60. some N MD A currents at minus

22:28 and that E P SPS E P S and MD A receptor channels and

22:34 receptor channels, they all have a potential with zero malt. And on

22:39 right side, if you remove which basically is not the case

22:44 if you, you have zero magnesium , you prove that an MD A

22:48 in the presence of liliate will be at the hyper polarized potentials. And

22:52 is because you're now not having that block in an MD A receptor.

22:58 it proves that magnesium is blocking Then we reviewed the ID curse for

23:03 and MD A that A A K is the peak here at the initial

23:09 . The peak current that is the current and then MD A current is

23:13 second dash line that was measured. the late current. And what we

23:17 is that a A K A has linear I V plot and that an

23:22 A receptor, the closed circles has nonlinear ad plot because they're blocked here

23:27 magnesium. And you need depolarization to influx of uh ions through an MD

23:33 receptor. Both the ample currents and MD A currents will have a reversal

23:38 at zero Mets. And this final here of open circles shows late

23:46 And this blue component here is an A component. If you put a

23:51 or A P five, which is an MD A receptor antagonist, uh

23:56 will block an MD A current. from these uh filled circles here where

24:01 have current and PICO apis who will nearly zero current. And of

24:07 a PV would not have any effect the early component, which is

24:12 So there's no difference between these closed and open triangles. So for the

24:18 of your exam, if you can the different two I V plots between

24:24 Kate and I V plot for an A receptor. Uh And now that

24:28 have reversal potentials of zero malts and A PV is a specific blocker to

24:33 MD A receptor. So it will an MD A receptor currents but will

24:37 affect APA receptor currents. You're gonna in good shape. And remember that

24:42 blue area under the curve here depicted uh what gets blocked by A

24:49 And therefore, this blue area under curve is the MD A receptor component

24:53 the excitatory synaptic potentials. In this slide, we discussed some interesting things

25:00 amper receptors that if they have a and the protein uh uh uh and

25:07 amino acid sequence and one substitution of amino acid can result in this protein

25:13 permeable to calcium versus not being permeable calcium. We also talked about the

25:19 or development of glutamate synopsis. And talked about how during early development,

25:24 are only an MD A receptor that expressed in the synopsis. The synopsis

25:29 then termed silence synopsis because we need receptors in order to depolarize and open

25:36 MD A receptors. And so there other mechanisms at play that are responsible

25:41 opening an MD A receptors. But lot of times glutamate release may not

25:45 sufficient uh to activate the synapses because will have an MD A receptor that

25:51 have magnesium block. And that will called silent synopsis. And later,

25:59 will be uh um um there will a receptors that get inserted into the

26:07 A and an MD A receptor is important. They are also important for

26:11 T P or long term potentiation or term plasticity in particular in an MD

26:16 receptor. So the changes, the of the synopsis, the weakening of

26:19 synapsis or the anatomical changes that may happening in the number of synapses that

26:24 expressed in different interconnected neurons, metabotropic receptor. Example, signaling is through

26:33 P IP two divergent cascade of IP and Bayl Glycerol uh that regulate the

26:41 of kinesis and phosph phos remember kinesis phosphor phospho will Deos different channels.

26:49 we moved into talking about the inhibitory gaba ergic activation we talked about Gabba

26:56 and this is Gabba A uh receptor . That's ironic binding of Gabba will

27:02 for influx of chloride will cause hyper or IP S P. And we

27:06 saw that the same receptor channel has binding sites for alcohol, ethanol,

27:13 , barbiturates as well as neuros. we talked about how we have Gabba

27:19 which is ionotropic receptor channel allows for of fluoride and causes hyper polarization.

27:27 and Gabba B receptors. Psyop, will open the G protein complex,

27:33 will open potassium channels causing more hyper . And presynaptic Gaba receptors will be

27:42 the through G protein complex, regulating calcium channels very similar to what we

27:48 with the endocannabinoid signaling. And so reviewed this really nice diagram where you

27:54 gag synapse, you have gala A B. So hyper polarization, more

27:59 polarization have auto for Gabba B which auto regulate its own release of

28:05 If there's spillover into the excitatory it can auto regulate the release.

28:10 this case, hetero regulate for the release of glutamate and also through

28:19 on the synaptic glutar synapses. it can regulate the uh potassium channels

28:27 the hyper polarization and shutting down an A receptor function. So you can

28:32 a direct effect on GIC synoptic transmission . You can have indirect effect through

28:39 of, of uh gabba view receptors you can have the control of inhibitor

28:45 to release through the presynaptic gaba And both will control the influx of

28:51 that will inhibit voltage gated calcium channel voltage gated calcium channels and the influx

28:56 calcium when necessary for the neurotransmitter So I also mentioned that the slide

29:00 be a really great slide for you write down as much information as you

29:05 . And if you can recall everything I just said about gag and uh

29:12 signaling and add more details and you're be in great shape for the

29:17 And that was our last slide for section. So in the meantime,

29:22 me check real quick for any Let's see. Is this recorded?

29:30 , this is recorded. Will we to recognize chemical structure where the functional

29:35 00 are attached on different neurotransmitters? , you will not. Is Gamba

29:41 inotropic or metabotropic. Gabba A is . Gabba B is metabotropic. Uh

29:49 you can see Gabba B is through protein complex will control potassium channels.

29:56 there's no flux through Gabba B It's a G protein coupled receptor.

30:02 can control potassium channels posy optically and can control uh presyn optically uh calcium

30:11 . Uh And uh let's see, was maybe a couple more slides that

30:16 looked at in the activation of Gaba Gaba B, but maybe you can

30:20 that on your own. There's detail the actual full lecture recording for this

30:26 lecture. So let me pause the here for a second recording.

30:32 So you can review this. But briefly, we talked about how a

30:36 of times excitation E P S P be followed by inhibition. Gabba A

30:41 atropic and then Gabba B metabotropic. we discussed by Qin as a blocker

30:47 GAA receptor and by blocking gale A , you can increase a lot of

30:53 response. So basically inhibition is holding excitation. And if you block

30:59 you release this abnormal levels of And then we talked about briefly a

31:04 protein coupled uh uh structure of these , the seven transmembrane segments, they're

31:12 different. We talked about ionotropic. is acetyl cole two binding sides

31:19 M that has M one through M . These are transmembrane segments. They're

31:26 from when we discuss the voltage gated channels, but they will comprise a

31:30 . And there are some similarities between segments and there are also differences between

31:35 segments. That's what accounts for the and the anatomy and function of a

31:40 of these receptors. Then I what should you know from here,

31:44 , everything about acetylcholine nor you should that alpha and beta have the opposing

31:51 , glutamate amp MD AC N Q and A PV. All Gabba,

31:58 A gabba B, fluoride potassium regulation Bicuculline is an antagonist for Gabba A

32:05 T P that acts to D and and that caffeine is an antagonist of

32:11 demo and receptors because that's something that's popular in uh in different cultures.

32:16 we consume that psychotropic molecule. Uh of us almost every day or several

32:21 a day. And then we talked different uh pathways, divergence,

32:27 redundancy, parallel streams and amplification that can create through this neurotransmitter system by

32:34 a single receptor which will activate multiple protein complexes will increase the production or

32:39 the production of multiple secondary messengers, protein kis and will have an extensive

32:47 on the cells. OK. I a question. If the synoptic membrane

32:55 a simultaneous release of blue glutamate and in the same adjacent area, what

32:59 happen to it? What will happen it? So if you were

33:08 I don't mean to be rude, if you were listening about 10 minutes

33:15 , I talked about a scenario where have this kind of a situation,

33:23 ? Um We talked about this kind a situation. Does that sound

33:29 Does this look familiar? Yes. that sound familiar? So you have

33:37 here of excitation and inhibition at the time and then what happens? What

33:43 happen to it? What happens at level of the cell? There's almost

33:47 response. So uh let's see any questions from this section. OK.

33:55 there's any more questions from the then we're done with neurotransmission. Let's

34:00 . I have somebody else on the . Yeah. OK, good.

34:06 you got it. So just go some of these questions you may

34:09 It's a lot of material. Uh please go back and you can just

34:13 some of the slides. Video points really good because they'll allow you to

34:18 from slide to slide. So you have to listen to all of the

34:22 again. But if you remember visually this is a slide that talks about

34:27 inhibition, this is a slide that about summation spatial temporal, this is

34:33 AAA good way to remember this and whatever I I cover in this

34:41 it doesn't mean that this is the things that are going to be on

34:44 test. I just cannot go through of the material of seven lectures,

34:50 is um 10.5 hours and in in hour. So I tried to do

34:59 best to focus on some concepts to some concepts, repeat some concepts that

35:05 maybe more complex. But uh the way to think of what is going

35:11 be on the exam is how we the time during the actual full length

35:17 in in our course. OK. we talked about medial dorsal,

35:26 medial dorsal Dutra, an interior rostral coal these different directions. We talked

35:32 different structures in the brain. We about so uh uh somatic sensations and

35:39 outputs the three meninas, the dura , arachnoid and PM matter. The

35:45 system and circulation of the spinal abnormal formation of spinal fluid and lack

35:53 drainage can result in hydrocephalus. And we talked about the development neural tube

36:01 or neuralation where derm is going to in nervous system and skin components uh

36:14 the human body. And this process neural tube formation is called neuralation.

36:19 talked about two abnormal developmental uh features this neuralation that can result in an

36:27 or a spina bifida. And following , there is uh formation of primary

36:34 secondary uh vesicles. And there's differentiation these brain structures into more complex

36:40 presence on m brain and hind uh forebrain differentiating intel and diencephalon optic

36:49 . And as we move through the , it's differentiating into the diencephalon which

36:55 comprised of thalamus, hypothalamus of the cortex. The corpus callosum, the

37:00 fiber bundle that interconnects the two the internal capsule, which are the

37:06 from the thalamus into the cortex and cortex into the thalamus. Um and

37:12 ventricular system. Now, we have further differentiation of midbrain and tectum and

37:21 tectum will contain the corporal quadrigeminal, appear in the inferior colliculus, the

37:27 cerebellum on the back paws on the me and then the spinal cord proper

37:35 . So these, for example, could be great labeling questions to identify

37:41 lobe, occipital lobe to identify lateral or the or the, the third

37:47 the fourth ventricle. Uh And it also some similarities, major anatomical similarities

37:55 different animal brains. And this is of such similarities where you will find

37:59 cells and Neocortex six layered structure in . And you'll find simular subtypes of

38:08 and simular organization a lot of times the circuits of these cells in different

38:13 . And then we spend a little of time talking about Neocortex, described

38:18 as a laminar structure as well as as a column of structure that can

38:22 revealed using these three subtypes of three of dyes, the gold initial stain

38:28 we stain and the fact that you the six layer neocortex and slightly different

38:34 , but in very similar organization throughout cortical areas of the brain, occipital

38:40 , temporal lobe, parietal lobe and on. And it's gonna be the

38:45 use in this stand to describe the or architecture of these different areas of

38:51 brain. And this is our favorite 17 after lecture uh last week which

38:59 contains primary visual cortical area. And we spend a bit of time on

39:06 uh on the slide. And the home message from the slide was that

39:11 higher order species, the more advanced you are as humans, the less

39:18 will be dedicated to the primary areas for processing primary or primal sensor

39:26 If you may uh basic, if may and more and more space in

39:32 brains are dedicated to association areas, information, and then association areas that

39:38 uh capable of uh intermingling and binding sensory inputs or modalities to gather association

39:49 that will bind visual auditory smell and sensations that are happening at the same

39:57 . And the low water species, have a lot of the brain space

40:01 to this primary or primal sensory information . Oh yes, this is very

40:07 for labeling. So brain stem, plan or bell and min hemispheres and

40:13 three nus Gang campus and Amygdala, may show up well, go ahead

40:21 questions and we talked about diencephalon which thalamus. It's a collection of different

40:26 and lateral geniculate nucleus is one of nucleus that we know really well.

40:30 where the projections from the retina go the L G N and from the

40:34 nucular nucleus and goes into the area , a primary visual cortex in the

40:40 lobe, it also contains hypothalamus and also has super charismatic nucleus as a

40:47 of the diencephalon. So these are good for labeling and also good for

40:53 where the thalamus responsible for what is G N and thalamus is responsible for

40:59 remember, thalamus is a collection of nuclei. So L G M is

41:04 visual system M G N. Medial is for the auditory system, ventral

41:10 lateral here V P L is for SOMA sensory information. And this is

41:14 station before all of the sensory inputs proceeded, gets sent to the

41:21 the vis visual visual cortex, auditor auditory cortex, the matter sensor to

41:26 matter sensory cortex where all of that eventually becomes at the uh highest order

41:33 and cognition and perceptions of the sensor as well as motor output. This

41:40 uh singular gyrus. We talked about and great structure that we all know

41:45 hippocampus and the Amygdala. So all these uh that I've mentioned, this

41:50 the cerebellum. And if you peel cerebellum, you expose the p where

41:56 cerebellum is attached on. And in midbrain, you expose the superior coli

42:01 are responsible for psychic eye movement. we learned in the visual system and

42:05 colli that you learn in the auditory are responsible for hearing information processing.

42:12 then we talked about the cranial nurse I asked you to know the following

42:17 nerves. Number one olfactory and you label it here because it's not shown

42:21 this diagram. That's the first cranial olfactory. OK. Optic nerve I

42:28 to know for you to know there's and right optic nerve. Then there

42:31 an optics. And after the you have optic tract. If you

42:36 nasal fibers are the ones that are cross over contralateral and temporal fibers from

42:42 optic nerve are gonna stay ipsilateral on same side. Uh This is in

42:47 visual system, you can review So I would like for you to

42:50 the optic nerve, I would like you to know the third nerve,

42:54 motor nerve because it implies uh what particular nerve does. It's a ocular

43:00 nerve. So it moves the it controls the muscles of the

43:05 Then I asked you to know number , which is trigeminal nerve. And

43:11 because it's the largest nerve. And should be very easily uh able to

43:15 optic nerves in the Kias. And two uh trigeminal nerve stalks that are

43:21 in different area of the brain and ponds and they're very easily recognizable.

43:27 coal nerve I wanted you to know vestibular cochlea because it's the nerve that

43:32 study when we study uh cochlea apparatus um auditory system. And finally,

43:41 10, which is vagus nerve. I want you to remember vagus nerve

43:45 we started by describing how neural transmission discovered. And that was by stimulation

43:51 the vagus nerve. And also because nerve is not only innervating the heart

43:57 and releasing acetal code in there. one of the most extensive cranial nerves

44:02 runs throughout the extent of the human and innervating uh viscera. Um unlike

44:09 nerves that are not as extensive and pretty targeted anatomically. Then we discussed

44:15 major divisions in the spinal cord and vertebra of the spinal cord and also

44:20 nerves of the spinal cord. So had c one through seven cervical

44:27 each associated with the cervical nerve, through eight thoractic T one through

44:32 12 lumbra, L one to L . And here one that is

44:37 OK. So we talked about how proper uh spinal cord proper structures.

44:44 number two, number three. And that, you have called it iguana

44:49 clinically significant because you do spinal taps you do epidural anesthesia typically below L

44:58 L three. So that you don't the nerve or in the cases of

45:04 spinal tap, you sample through the fluid. In the case of the

45:08 anesthesia, you want to anesthetize the portion of the body which is done

45:13 the birthing process. So it's gonna very painful uh for contractions of the

45:19 . And that's where this type of will be used. So each spinal

45:24 is comprised of the sensory component, is dorsal root component and it goes

45:29 the dorsal horn here. And from ventral horn, you have the output

45:34 the motor neurons. Ascending information is be carried through the dorsal columns.

45:39 is major sending sensor information here. then the other one here is a

45:45 phyla ascending track that is located right on the ventral side and the

45:52 And then you have multiple descending mode pathways. And I asked you not

45:56 to memorize those pathways, but I you to know and easily identify the

46:02 column as the major ascending. Because you know that this is major sending

46:07 in the future, you study anything in the health professions. So you'll

46:11 that in other tracks that may be on your exams or in some questions

46:16 things like that, they're most likely to be descending if they're located outside

46:21 the dorsal column. So that's an feature to know, you know,

46:27 then we talked about autonomic nervous system we don't spend enough time studying the

46:33 nervous system. And with this uh slide, we then moved to talk

46:40 imaging. OK. And we talked imaging techniques and we said that there's

46:46 imaging. So you can have x-ray C T imaging, you can also

46:51 static imaging of MRI. And then you're looking for neuronal activity or activated

47:00 areas, you have to use pat emission tomography or F MRI. Uh

47:07 in the most basic cases, and , pet will measure consumption of

47:12 F MRI will measure oxygenation levels of . As we discussed that active neurons

47:18 be drawing a lot more blood, more oxygen and consuming more of the

47:24 and glucose is sort of like a the, the fuel and the food

47:29 for neurons. And in general, discussed that these procedures pet scans and

47:34 MRI S that are quite challenging for individual. In the case of pet

47:38 , you have to actually have a labeled solution that's injected inside of you

47:44 order to expose uh the areas of brain in our case that you're most

47:50 in. And we talked about how fact that in experimental imaging, you

47:54 have this calcium sensitive imaging, you have both of sensitive di imaging.

47:59 talked about intrinsic optical signal and we about the visual system. These are

48:04 experimental techniques. And in many experimental techniques, you can actually get a

48:10 of a single cell and sometimes even synapse and also different levels. You

48:15 image a number of cells or circuits larger areas of the brain called macroscopic

48:21 of the brain. But in the , you don't have that ability and

48:26 of these techniques that they are Um that means that the skull is

48:31 being cut up. Nothing is being at like in many experimental neuroscience

48:36 But there are limitations in resolution, resolution where you cannot have a resolution

48:41 a single cell using these techniques. rather you're looking at the complexes of

48:46 of neurons or nuclei that are involved uh revealing a specific function of a

48:53 part of the brain during a specific , auditory or visual and so

49:01 OK, let's see questions. Questions A T P primarily function as an

49:09 or inhibitor, neurotransmitter. Hm. a great question. And you cannot

49:15 talk about this as exci inhibitor. when we talk about excitation and

49:19 we're typically referring to glutamate Gaba. you talk about E P and these

49:25 , then you're really looking at the control and what A T P

49:31 it actually controls in large part uh glial function. And you cannot really

49:39 that A T P is uh primary , although it can exci although it

49:44 stimulate cells and uh caffeine can actually that same receptor denison receptor. So

49:53 just kind of it depends on the really of the receptor that binds to

49:59 acts through in the subtype of the . Do we have to remember the

50:04 of the cranial nerves? So, you can remember this six nerves that

50:08 just mentioned, I think it's pretty to say that olfactory nerve is responsible

50:14 all faction optic nerve is responsible for , ocular motor for the movement of

50:18 eye, trigeminal, the largest sensor motor nerve of your, of your

50:24 vestibular cochlea sensory nerve that processes information and cochlea and vagus nerve uh runs

50:33 and was discovered uh where neurotransmission was . Do we need to know the

50:39 of vertebra nerves on precise location like six? Where is C 67

50:46 Is it between 67 or is it ? Now? But the precise

50:50 You should know of the vertebra and subdivisions, major subdivisions of the cervical

50:57 Lumb and sacral for the spinal Uh The parameter cells in the Neocortex

51:02 and excitatory, they're excitatory. So cells release glutamate, they're excitatory cells

51:08 the inhibitory cells will be producing and Gaba is the second midterm not cumulative

51:15 only cover these seven lectures including content in the quiz. Yes, that's

51:20 . The midterm two will cover seven including content covered in the quiz,

51:26 is really just a repeating information that will be tested on. May even

51:31 the same question or two. Uh never know that you had on the

51:36 . So if you prepare for the , a lot of it might be

51:39 review for you and you can just up with more of the new information

51:43 information that you think is more Which part of the thalamus did we

51:48 to know? OK. That's a question for now. I think you

51:52 know later nu nucleus which is labeled that diagram and ventral posterior lateral nucleus

51:59 shows it has some matter, sensory in general, you should know that

52:04 is a collection of different nuclei responsible different functions. But in as far

52:09 having precise locations of the nu their apart from the lateral geniculate nucleus,

52:15 we already studied in the visual And for now, you don't have

52:18 know anything much more than that? . Are there any more questions on

52:28 C N S and imaging of neuronal in the brain? If not,

52:36 I'm actually going to uh think about this review session. Um because as

52:44 mentioned, the other information that we on the visual system is very new

52:53 I would like for you to review fresh. Uh We covered it in

52:58 lectures and the second lecture I had lot of information I would really recommend

53:03 review it, but I'm happy to any questions on the visual system.

53:11 . Well, if there are no questions, I thank you all for

53:14 here and putting your time into reviewing material. Please study hard and I

53:20 everyone to ace the test later this . Thank you and take care
