00:03 This is Lecture 10 of neuroscience and spent the last three hours of talking

00:12 action potentials, how action potentials get whether the channels and the ions and

00:18 action potentials. We finished by talking the action potentials are generated and we

00:25 that there are these specialized areas action segments, that's where the action potentials

00:31 generated. We said that they get each note of wrong here. And

00:38 reason for it is action initial segments those around here contain some of our

00:45 multi educated sodium channels and potassium channels well and allow us to regenerate the

00:53 potentials. And we talked about how forward propagating action potential will cause the

01:02 of the neurotransmitter will cause the deep of the pre synaptic terminal and release

01:08 neurotransmitter into the synapse and therefore communicate information to the adjacent connected neurons.

01:19 apart from the forward propagating spike, also talked about back propagating spike.

01:25 talked about how it acts on initial here you have two types of voltage

01:30 sodium channels. So if you recall channels are gated by voltage. Today

01:36 start talking about channels that are gated Liggins or chemicals And the low threshold

01:44 maybe 1.6 produces forward propagating spike high in 81 42 produces back propagating actual

01:52 . The main purpose for the forward action potential is because neurotransmitter release external

01:58 . The main purpose for the back action potential is its significance in playing

02:06 role in synaptic plasticity. And in what we call spike timing dependent plasticity

02:14 the timing in two cells communicating with another from pre synaptic cell. Post

02:20 cells. That timing has to be short And depending on that timing,

02:26 cell is going to be able to to communicate better with one another,

02:32 stronger through this process of plasticity and bind the activity from the pre synaptic

02:41 with the post synaptic activity that the synaptic neuron. So when we talk

02:48 axons, we talk about my eliminated that are coming off itself that have

02:55 of Ron dear and action potentials get at the axons. But when we

03:04 about down rights, we're not talking nodes of Rome beer, we're not

03:14 about insulation. This is all specific axon and this is where the action

03:23 gets produced, regenerated reaches the final and causes neurotransmitter release. But gun

03:33 don't have insulation. They don't have and they don't have the same types

03:42 channels? Gun rights have a lot receptor channels. And then when you

03:49 about well done rights are also not like axons. So what happens if

03:56 no insulation on the wires and on equipment that you're using since the charge

04:03 be partly leaking out of this wire of the axon in this case,

04:09 of the dendrite that is non violin . Mhm. And I have this

04:15 of the day. And I have article for you in your folder class

04:21 election Reading documents that you can look challenge of the days. Do you

04:25 dendrites referred to propagate deep polarization forward direction. So let's ask this

04:32 You got Dendrites propagates deep polarization. that means that there is a an

04:40 input like glutamate input. Right? excitatory and it's going to cause some

04:48 of a in this dendritic spine It's going to cause some sort of

04:55 deep polarization in the sound. We a good experience in the other

05:00 Also something. So there's going to deep polarization here in distal dendrites.

05:14 what if the deep polarization happens here the middle of this done dried?

05:20 that signal once you have this signal which you can record in the middle

05:26 the dendrite with electrodes at the optical dry with an electrode and the basal

05:34 from an electrodes? This electrode This is elected to and this is

05:38 three. So if there was a polarization here in the middle of the

05:42 right. Is it more likely that deep polarization is gonna spread to the

05:47 regions away from the someone or is more likely that it's going to travel

05:53 the summer. Remember. Soma is integrated unit like this neurons is going

05:59 decide whether producing action potential or So how would you test this

06:06 I'm already giving it away that. you could stimulate electrode to and record

06:12 electrode one. So if you produce stimulation in electrode to and you recorded

06:18 E. P. S. An electrode one. And you could

06:21 the size of this E. S. P. Which is excited

06:25 post synaptic potential. And you can measure it an electrode one and you

06:32 Compare the size of these two. in this case you injected this current

06:38 you can see more of that current recorded an electorate three. So it

06:43 has a preference to move forward to . There's something about the anatomy and

06:48 receptor channel and ion channel expressions along . It does that. Now you

06:55 stimulating in an experimental setup. You have much control of what fibers you're

07:02 to where they're projecting. And you to get very precise on stimulating a

07:08 synapse or a very small area on down. Right? So another way

07:15 to replace this neuron that releases glutamate you're stimulating with an electrode that contains

07:27 . And you could apply this glutamate you can apply this Ludin made right

07:34 targeting this middle area of the done ? Where electorate to is that would

07:40 mimicking the stimulation. Right? This positive card. You're injecting here your

07:47 glutamate which is gonna cause E. . S. P. Two.

07:50 . Equalization. You can again recorded electoral one electrode to an electric

07:57 Uh There are some issues with this of an experimental satellite because your electro

08:02 may be small and you may be targeting this one then didn't spine here

08:07 this one very small area on the drive. However the fluids that surround

08:14 cell will die allies and spread and many different synopsis in the area.

08:22 then this this experimental setup, this of a dialysis and the spread of

08:27 signal that will be most concentrated in area will also be spreading in the

08:33 areas. It's not very good. don't control the time by which this

08:39 spreads very well around the neuron. again you don't know exactly how much

08:44 it spreads to the pop distantly or the soma. So you can't answer

08:49 question very well with these injections of neurotransmitter. And so we come to

08:57 other very interesting technique in which glutamate are present everywhere in your solution except

09:10 of them are contained within cages. you have glue made molecules everywhere in

09:23 solution but they're contained in the cage one of the cages. The cages

09:31 actual chemical cages that do not allow these glutamate to be freely floating and

09:40 any of the dendrites here at the spines. And the only way that

09:47 can be released from these cages is you break that chemical cage. One

09:52 the ways in which you can break chemical cages with lasers, it's called

09:57 license of photo light Photons of light something breaking something in this case it's

10:03 izing the cage. As you lasers are very precise in space can

10:10 very small, lasers are very Commercial lasers and medical lasers are moving

10:16 the tent of second uh timescales for . You can activate lasers very precisely

10:26 just once in apps and release glutamate just this one cage, which would

10:32 it a lot more specific to this . Also with this UNQ aging of

10:39 neurotransmitters with total ISIS imaging, you do it in four dimensions. So

10:45 . Y. Z. X. . The third dimension is Z.

10:51 can go through the tissue. That's third dimension. The fourth dimension is

10:55 T. So X. Y. . T. Into a four dimensional

11:00 around these dendrites. Around these dendritic , you can use very small lasers

11:06 release glutamate. And there's other neurotransmitters and chemicals. If you can

11:11 as well to study kind of the of what do these dendrites conduct now

11:17 we understand that once the action potential the inaction initial segment, it gets

11:24 that direction, majority of that signal of the back flows. But what's

11:29 here. And so if you're there's an article that discusses the Cajun

11:33 engaging and this kind of techniques that modern day analysis that allows us to

11:41 activation on a single dendritic spine in singular Cinemax essentially. So again you

11:51 regeneration. You have the nose of gear which are loaded with our favorite

11:57 within the cells to have gun They not only have axons and nose

12:02 here and axon initial segments, each can express up to 12 different types

12:08 iron channels. This is an example one channel called HCM channel and wherever

12:15 see red, that's where within that that channel is expressed. So in

12:21 Haram it'll cells which we started in hippocampus or excitatory cells are also probably

12:26 the cortex will study even more in phenomenal cells. It's mostly the optical

12:35 the tufted external tufted cells. This channel is expressed everywhere in the soma

12:45 all throughout the day in this basket which is a pecan, apple basket

12:51 inhibit to internet in this basket These channels are only expressed in the

12:59 here in the terminals. So there's sub cellular ion channel distribution that varies

13:08 different cell subtypes for the same And there's also diverse subset of of

13:18 that each subtype of cells can And then once they express these channels

13:25 will express themselves cellular early within certain . Because of that we are capable

13:34 having many different neurons that will have diverse action potential output patterns. And

13:41 because of the diversity of the ion express where those ion channels are

13:46 how the conductance is the travel along dendrite how they're integrated in the

13:53 How fast they're produced in action initial . How long is the relatively factor

13:59 in all of these things are gonna into play in producing these different

14:05 So we also stress that the diversity what are called dialects in neuronal subtypes

14:13 from the inhibitor intermune. It's excitatory speak kind of the same or very

14:20 to three dialects and inhibitory cell c very different, diverse types of

14:31 Mhm. Alright so we're gonna move synaptic transmission for the next three

14:40 Exam is not in two weeks. office used to be an S.

14:45 . two. It's a reminder where used to be. So I love

14:48 slide and my email is the So if anybody wants to schedule a

14:54 with me to review their exams it's to do by email. Uh and

14:59 better to do exam. Reviews over rather than in person because I can

15:05 the screen better your screen to You can share it away looking the

15:10 you like it. So synaptic transmission communication between the announcement. This neuron

15:16 action potential. Action potential reaches external D polarizes external terminal causes bicycle,

15:23 neurotransmitter release neurotransmitter advises the post synaptic and produce the post synaptic response.

15:31 deep polarization. Excitatory post synaptic potentials the cns and inhibitory is hyper polarization

15:37 inhibitory post synaptic potentials. And what know now comes from work hundreds of

15:48 by many different people harmonica how he , he was using goldie stain and

15:54 was doing the reconstructions of neurons in parts of the brain and he believed

16:02 neurons are discrete units are connected with other in a certain way. That

16:07 of dynamic polarization. But you also that those connections are not necessarily

16:14 they're plastic, They can be they can be changed. Uh Sir

16:19 Farrington was the one that coined this of the synapse and started describing the

16:23 synaptic possibly be calling it the And we will read a story in

16:28 next slide, discovered the chemical synaptic . What we know now is in

16:35 brain. You have communication of 100 Neowons, billion neurons, trillions of

16:44 . It's a very complex organ, billion people on this earth with trillions

16:51 connections. It's a very complex systems . And this is even more

16:57 If you think about it on a level, a single brain, if

17:02 were to lay out the number and you were to unfold all of the

17:06 spies, all of the dendrites and lay out the possible numb brain from

17:11 brain would cover four soccer fields If you were to lay killed out

17:19 the brain fabric of our minds would about four soccer, four football

17:26 huge surface area, basically pulled it the space and we is again one

17:38 the inspirational scientists I'd like to talk . He wrote that in the night

17:43 easter saturday 1921 I woke, turned the light and jotted down a few

17:49 on a tiny slip of paper. I fell asleep again. It occurred

17:53 me at six o'clock in the morning during the night I had written down

17:57 most important, but I was unable decipher the scrawl that sunday was the

18:02 desperate day in my whole scientific During the next night, however,

18:07 woke again at three o'clock and I what it was this time. It

18:12 not take any risk. I got immediately went to the laboratory, made

18:16 experiment on the frog's heart described And at five o'clock the chemical transmission

18:22 nervous impulse was conclusively proved. That's his 1953 When I was doing a

18:31 doc, my second postdoc at George University, my mentor used to say

18:36 sleep is for the weak and what you meant by that is not

18:41 you don't need to sleep is you need to sleep. You know,

18:45 don't have proper sleep. You don't normally, physically and mentally. But

18:50 times of the, if you're there are certain times of the year

18:56 at your age, you know, still appropriate to pull off an all

19:00 . You have to you know I always say that a lot of us

19:06 things in our heads and it's awesome we can get them out of our

19:11 whether it's created, scientific or whatever . It's tortuous when you can't get

19:17 out of your head. And I students that sometimes they hear music and

19:21 not the music that I already It's like original music that it's being

19:26 in my head. But I have way to write it down or express

19:31 through an instrument and it's there but there. So he didn't go to

19:37 lab the president. But when he he discovered chemical neural transmission. An

19:43 that he did was he had to hearts. One of them had the

19:48 nerve attached to it, Its cranial tan that comes from the brain stem

19:53 innovates throughout the body and into the . And when he stimulates the vagus

20:00 , this heart slows down. The rate slows down. And what he

20:05 is he removed the fluid, his was sitting in the dish with the

20:09 and so he removed the fluid with Pipat and he applied this fluid onto

20:15 other heart. But this heart, recipient heart, it doesn't have vagus

20:19 attached to it. And he's not the vagus nerve like in the donor

20:25 . But s he is dripping the on the recipient heart. It has

20:30 equivalent effect stimulating the vagus nerve here this situation it's equivalent. The heart

20:37 slows down. And so he definitively that there's something in the fluid.

20:45 some chemical in the fluid which he is released by the vagus nerve.

20:51 if you stimulate a very good you have the heart rate slowed down.

20:57 if you have that fluid that the nerve releases or that chemical that neurotransmitter

21:04 you just apply the neurotransmitter, it's mimicry. You're mimicking the vagus nerve

21:11 a spy pat and the fluid he that would you get the equivalent effect

21:17 the slowing the heart rate and the that is discovered as acetylcholine. And

21:25 fact of acetylcholine on the cardiac muscle to reduce contractions to slow down the

21:37 rate. In general. The fact the chemical depends on the post synaptic

21:47 to which that chemical binds. So spoke about voltage gated sodium channels in

21:51 previous section we're talking about ligand gated and we're talking about the seed alkaline

21:58 we'll understand that certain muscles like cardiac expresses certain type of acetylcholine receptor that

22:06 the muscle to slow down. And see that as you saw in the

22:12 arch you should say wait a you taught us. And reflex arch

22:16 motor neuron releases acetylcholine which causes the of the of the skeletal muscles.

22:24 you're saying here that it causes to down. And that's because of the

22:28 of type of receptor channels that are in the cardiac muscle versus the skeletal

22:35 that we discussed earlier and we'll come and talk about it some more.

22:39 addition to chemical synapses, we also electrical synapses in the brain and they

22:44 first discovered in crayfish. When the of the current right here it's the

22:51 injection in this pre synaptic neuron one made, there was current response recorded

22:58 that same neuron. And immediately without delay there was a small fraction of

23:05 current response recorded in Neuron # And what made them believe. And

23:13 fact that this is different from chemical is because once the chemical gets released

23:22 pre synaptic terminal it has to travel the post synaptic cell and it has

23:30 bind the receptors and then cause an open these receptor channels and cause the

23:39 and the flux of ions. So takes a little bit of time from

23:45 you stimulate the pre synaptic axon to you get a response in the post

23:51 cell. So when you get the and this is synaptic delay and this

23:57 be five milliseconds can be 10 milliseconds . But there is a significant delay

24:03 you can observe. And when the uh they did these experiments originally we

24:10 no delay. They saw that the is smaller himself too. But they

24:15 no delay. So they postulated that not because of the chemical release and

24:22 of the neurotransmitter and then generating pas response. But it is electrical synopsis

24:32 we called gap junctions and allow for flux of ions. So positive

24:38 And this all will easily cross influx the other cell here that's interconnected.

24:45 these are unique because they are always . The gap junctions, they're comprised

24:51 connects. Um Most of the synoptic are about 20 nanometers in space between

24:59 neurons. And then in some areas two members of neurons come very close

25:05 , only 34 nanometers apart. And when the hemi channels from one south

25:13 synaptic the other south boston applicants to neurons with their plasma membranes. They

25:21 the gap junction channels. The gap channels are always open or they're more

25:28 so there's no gates that close them there seems to be some sort of

25:33 torque that can open them a little more and close them a little bit

25:38 they're always open. Not closed, a little bit but always open.

25:45 small molecules can also in addition to small molecules can pass through the gap

25:52 . Those are examples of cyclic M. She for example cyclic

25:58 M. P. S. Secondary . So small molecules that are secondary

26:03 can pass in between gap junk gap are very important because in order for

26:10 to perform different tasks to speak, your hands to generate any motor outfit

26:21 mental calculation, we have to involve cells. There's billions of neurons and

26:33 going to be thousands of neurons processing specific cast and so when we want

26:42 perform a certain task and if we to perform a repetitive task for example

26:48 have to engage many cells at the time and it's called synchronizing selectivity and

26:56 is ideal through the gap junctions. one cell that has very high level

27:02 activity, the cells that are connected the south through gap junctions will also

27:09 feel a certain level of activity, engaging them synchronizing their activity at about

27:16 same time. Chemical neural transmission is important for synchronizing cells and for the

27:24 but this happens much faster so it's significant for fast activity. Synchronization through

27:33 gap junctions. Chemical synopsis have pre zones that are loaded with the vesicles

27:47 have neurotransmitters, post synaptic densities that have post synaptic receptors that are basically

27:55 created channels or g protein coupled Now there's a homework question, what

28:04 does score vesicles? How are they from neurotransmitter vesicles? It's like,

28:08 there's still challenges challenge of the day the homework question today, what's going

28:13 the second section of the semester and be homework now. Just kidding.

28:20 just so it happens, it's in same, it's in the same presentation

28:25 we'll actually talk about dense core vesicles lecture. So I'm you know,

28:29 on this today. This is an microscope image pre synaptic terminal. You

28:35 these round vesicles that will contain And if we look at some of

28:41 electron microscopy images, we actually can that there is morphological differences between excitatory

28:49 and inhibitory synapses excited to re glue synopsis will have round of vesicles and

28:56 symmetric member and differentiations meaning that the synaptic zone is much bigger in size

29:01 surface area and the pre synaptic zone the inhibitory neurons which are Gaba ergic

29:09 . They'll have these flattened vesicles but member and differentiations prison african personality.

29:16 so just by looking at the electron images without additional stains for gaba or

29:24 or anything else you can actually start between excitatory and inhibitory synapses based on

29:31 morphological futures. And from the early I have explained to you that most

29:41 the synapse since formed on the And so my song about the

29:49 But there are some synopsis that can formed on the axons. So this

29:56 to drive. It's actually been It's excellent too. So it's actually

30:01 semantics. Its axon axon axon sonic even in some instances there is done

30:08 and done right. So what kind a synapse is that? Whereas the

30:13 done. Right. So these exceptions all of the rules. It's a

30:16 bit different kind of communication but it exist. Another interesting one in this

30:24 is that If you are a cell is targeting 100 or the selma of

30:32 neuron you're gonna influence the integrative properties this. You're gonna influence whether this

30:39 is going to fire an action to or not if you're an excitatory cell

30:44 you're right next to accident initial segment signal that you have a strong influence

30:49 this cell is going to get d and it's going to fire an action

30:54 the integrated properties and inhibitory input. don't have a strong influence whether the

31:00 is going to produce an action potential but in this situation it's access sonics

31:08 this cell has already produced an action . Action potential is regenerating. So

31:16 cannot influence the integrative properties of this anymore. And the ax sonic sonic

31:22 , you can only influence the output with yourself. So this is here

31:28 still influencing the input in the integration the signal number one neuron will receive

31:34 to 150,000 synapses in some basis. you're not talking about just one but

31:41 , hundreds of thousands. Uh And you're already generated an action potential already

31:48 have an output, you can only the output of this movement. So

31:56 we go into the synopsis in the . N. S. Which were

32:02 complex and you'll understand a lot about or inhibitors synopsis glutamate gaba At the

32:11 of this three plus hours. But we're gonna understand first the neuro muscular

32:18 . We already talked about it. talked about it with respect the reflex

32:38 and then the reflex sarge. We dorsal root ganglion south. Yeah the

32:49 cord, I don't know but that we had the three subtypes of cells

33:04 we discussed. We had the dorsal ganglion south. We had inside the

33:10 cord to inhibit the interneuron. Right we talked about motor in there for

33:16 exam. You have to learn these different cell subtypes morphology with a pseudo

33:22 and multipolar and so on. And new york transmitters to release. So

33:29 neuron releases acetylcholine. And what we is that when acetylcholine gets released on

33:38 muscle, if the motor neuron is and it releases this eagle Kolia,

33:44 causes a contraction. So this is from otello. We stimulating cardiac muscle

33:52 talking about here biceps, it's a muscles and the seed of colon is

33:59 during these muscles. These motor neurons waterfall motor and plates. The motor

34:12 . You can have this very large that spreads and ram if eyes innovating

34:20 , titian pre synaptic alie you will a lot of vesicles that are loaded

34:27 acetylcholine molecules. Siegel Colin once it to acetylcholine receptors. Person optically binds

34:41 nicotine acetylcholine receptors so very close what called the junction all falls here.

34:49 close proximity to the pre synaptic On the pasta synaptic side of the

34:54 . On the muscular side you have single Colin receptors and they're called nicotine

35:01 receptors. And when acetylcholine vines to acetylcholine receptors, you have to have

35:15 molecules of acetylcholine that binds acetylcholine There's going to be influx of sodium

35:26 the flux of potassium starting with an of sodium. So these are ligand

35:33 channels. They're no longer selective to ion as we learned for voltage gated

35:40 voltage gated castle potassium channels that are with sodium potassium. This receptor channel

35:47 for the flux of sodium and potassium release of acetylcholine results by the nicotine

35:57 receptors. It's the only neurotransmitter It's a very simple synapses only excitation

36:08 . There's no inhibition at the level the muscle. Where's the inhibition in

36:15 spinal cord last seen. That's right the spinal cord properly but on the

36:21 of the muscle so many see locally nicotine acetylcholine receptors only excitation which we

36:29 the high fidelity synapse deep polarization and potential and motor neuron release of the

36:37 action potential twitch of the muscle action twitch of a muscle action potential

36:44 action potential contraction action potential contraction, reason why is the release of acetylcholine

36:55 a massive deep polarization of acetylcholine binds nicotine nick. It's abbreviated nicotine acetylcholine

37:05 nicotine acetylcholine receptors. It produces an plate potential or E. P.

37:14 . Of about 70 million volts and . Then what happens? So then

37:28 inside you have both educated sodium channels both educated calcium channels. And this

37:36 massive deep polarization of the inflated potential guarantees that if you recall, the

37:46 membrane potential is -65, The threshold action potential is -45. This deep

37:59 through nicotine acetylcholine receptors and this inflate always guarantees that you reach the threshold

38:09 you open down below. It is illustrated. You have both educated sodium

38:14 involved educated calcium channels and it's sufficient initiate this very long prolonged action potential

38:24 the muscle which is mediated by vault sodium channels. Both educated calcium

38:30 which is different from neuronal action will not study the dynamics of this

38:36 potential channel dynamics, but it's very to know that end plate potential.

38:42 potential that gets generated the potential change generative level of the muscle in order

38:49 millibars is always reaches the threshold for potential, always produces the twitch of

38:57 muscle which is an action potential in cardiac muscle which causes the contraction that

39:02 must be. So why is it a single colon causes contractions and increases

39:13 in the skeletal muscle. Why is causing slowing of the heart rate and

39:21 is because of the different set type acetylcholine receptor that is dominating the cardiac

39:29 which is most chronic acetylcholine receptor. the response of the muscle the same

39:37 depends on the half of the ligand and in that case it's not a

39:45 but a wagon regulated receptor must clinic is metabolic tropic. And you understand

39:52 difference between iron, a tropical metal signaling in another hour or so,

39:58 and enclave potential, wow, look this, you can copy all of

40:03 onto the empty page and take notes like I said, it's a great

40:09 . I'm a visual learner myself what call and I think I've been tested

40:16 properly. But I know one thing when I see I remember about her

40:23 if I write it down or copy and you know, scribble around it

40:30 something then I'm really gonna remember. there's some, you'll see that there's

40:37 strong correlation between your motor learning Language speaking, all of this is

40:47 and writing something down. Can help remember things better. So I love

40:56 page live to write on okay, systems. It's a whole system that

41:05 to have different components to the First of all, if it's a

41:12 sell Gaba releasing, sell it has have an enzyme that synthesizes Gabba.

41:18 it's a slicing that has to realizing if it's glutamate, it has

41:23 synthesize glutamine, those chemicals they have be uploaded into the vesicles using synaptic

41:33 and re update transporters so they have be transported. Okay, we'll talk

41:41 that now if you release the chemical the synapse their degradation enzymes. So

41:49 chemicals will buy to the post synaptic and other chemicals will be another portion

41:57 those chemicals will be degraded. A will be we up taken back into

42:06 pre synaptic terminals to re uptake re uptake the neurotransmitter back into the

42:11 synaptic terminal and load the bicycles with neurotransmitter. So there's a recycling going

42:19 . There's synthesis, degradation but also of these chemicals on the post synaptic

42:26 . You have transmitter gated ion So this is an example of nicotine

42:31 casino coding receptor which is transmitter golden transmitter gated ion channel. It

42:39 for the flux of ions. You have G protein coupled receptors that are

42:45 tropic that are not channels but instead are linked to G protein complexes and

42:54 of catalysis of these G protein conflicts can now influence activity of the nearby

43:00 channels. G protein gated ion channels created by Liggins. They're created from

43:09 inside of the south by g protein and mediate cellular secondary messenger cascades.

43:20 , so you're a transmitter criteria, have to have produced emphasized and founded

43:25 Missouri if you stimulate this neuron then neuron should have a machinery to release

43:33 . If it's not releasing it, not uh neurotransmitter doesn't have the vesicles

43:39 some other chemical doing something else inside south. So when the chemicals released

43:43 must act on the synaptic receptor then the biological effect. Just like solo

43:49 I stimulated the vagus nerve and I the heart rate to slow down,

43:54 better take that chemical apply on their that has not been stimulated and see

44:00 that heart also has slowed down is . So after a chemical is released

44:09 must be inactivated. You have to a re uptake mechanism from the synapse

44:14 mechanism. If a chemical is applied a post synaptic member and should have

44:19 same effect when it is released by neuron a little bit redundancy here between

44:25 the chemical is released it's supposed to an effect. But also when it's

44:28 and applied another neurons it should also an effect. And the many different

44:38 in the brain. And we're gonna discussing the Sloman the scores and you'll

44:48 to know some of them but you know some of them. And we

44:56 amino acid neurotransmitters. Look at the acid neurotransmitters such as glutamate, the

45:07 excited amino acid in the brain. ! I can finish this all

45:16 we do appreciate that. Thank It will help me explain this.

45:26 Here's Our Brian Who is a good . Alright brainstem and going into the

45:33 quote gaba inhibitor major inhibitor neurotransmitter in C. N. S. So

45:45 everywhere you see an ax here everywhere everywhere you see an X.

45:57 there's going to be expression of Yabba the cns is gaba. We're gonna

46:06 all this X. And then the cord is glycerine. It's also

46:14 And what does that mean? That that the cells neurons that express gamma

46:22 neurotransmitters, you'll find their selma's widely throughout the court except cortical tissues.

46:30 stem cerebellum very widely spatially distributed. and billions of excited for it sells

46:41 themselves. Men you have glutamate and we're gonna mark as a dot and

46:51 have a lot more glue. Dramaturgical than Gaba ergic caos especially in the

47:00 . But the story is the same glutamate neurons will be widely, widely

47:11 and expressed throughout different regions of the . And then we come to this

47:18 class of neurotransmitters, major neurotransmitters in brain we refer to as a means

47:25 we have several seats alkaline is in 19 so already started discussing acetylcholine and

47:32 this exam you will know how acetylcholine synthesized, degraded and transported.

47:40 norepinephrine, histamine norepinephrine serotonin there all means and in addition to that means

47:50 also have times, polycystic kind in Northern Amanda Staton number of you will

48:01 what do I need to know for exam it will become a Canada over

48:05 next hour or two. But you to know about these chemicals for the

48:10 obviously Gabba and realizing the major inhibitor , glutamate is the major excited and

48:20 you look at an analogy of excitation on light on in condition switch off

48:31 off then what do these other chemicals ? Well, wouldn't it be nice

48:37 have sort of look at DJ set for your lights that light goes on

48:43 , different color kicks in and get to different rhythms, activity on and

48:51 off and that's exactly what it These different chemical systems, you can

48:55 them as different systems that mediate different , especially immune systems. Some of

49:01 are Chemicals that get activated when you're 5 um flight response or fright and

49:12 whichever it is, flight and fight . Norepinephrine, adrenaline of the

49:18 the big bears coming at, you don't get sleepy, you are,

49:24 get engaged a lot of times, will be happening very fast. I

49:30 know if any of you have happened experience accidents or things happening in front

49:35 you sometimes it seems like things slow isn't happening because different chemicals actually expressed

49:42 that traumatic event or sudden event is around you that let you perceive things

49:49 and maybe perceive the temporal scale, is happening differently to not that they

49:54 slowing down in front of you, just perceiving them differently. So serotonin

50:02 a mood neurotransmitter that we have neurotransmitters regulate move uh these neurotransmitter systems,

50:12 regulate different behaviors. Now what's interesting the means is that in comparison to

50:18 widely distributed amino assets, amines will their specific nuclei in which these substances

50:29 expressed. So there's going to be specific nucleus for serotonin. There's going

50:34 be a specific nucleus for cdo Colin going to be a specific nucleus for

50:41 in the brain stem mostly. What that mean? That means that it's

50:47 a few 100,000 cells actually in this that will express norepinephrine. It's not

50:55 distributed. The selma's of these cells not widely distributed like amino acids.

51:00 they're confined to these nuclei nuclei by or collections of cells often interconnected cells

51:08 are responsible for processing the same or functions or producing the same neurotransmitter and

51:17 that neurotransmitter to the brain. So do we get serotonin into the rest

51:24 the brain? We get it because systems have projections that go into the

51:32 . M. S. And into periphery supplying the periphery and the

51:38 M. S. With the Seattle with serotonin with norepinephrine. So it's

51:46 of it's a very different arrangement You have amino acids widely distributed expressed

51:53 the C. N. S. it means the confines of this

51:56 So so does that mean that if took out a nucleus that produces serotonin

52:02 like if I physically dissected out or a surgery or traumatic brain injury that

52:08 this piece of the brain out this that produces serotonin to does that mean

52:13 won't be any more serotonin in the . And the answer is that there

52:19 be any more sick economy. But you took equivalent or even larger chunk

52:25 the brain here, lost is a brain injury, you'll still have glutamate

52:30 gaba being expressed everywhere you lost this , you could lose the civil code

52:38 the brain will not have the privacy . Isn't that interesting? So that

52:43 that these neurotransmitters are responsible for different , different behaviors, fight or

52:49 getting in the mood, getting sleepy , motor functions. Dopamine. That

52:57 means that dysfunctions in these neurotransmitters are with distinct neurological disorders. Dopamine disorders

53:07 typically motor disorders such as Parkinson's serotonin disorders are typically mood disorders such

53:17 anxiety and depression. Siegel calling disorders Alzheimer's disease. One of the cellular

53:29 that means that neurons in this area the brain are disproportionately being affected by

53:37 the process is not happening during Alzheimer's pathology that is killing these acetylcholine neurons

53:43 early pathology is actually loss of colon neurons and that is important for learning

53:51 cognitive functions. So it's an interplay all of these chemicals that are necessary

53:59 processing activity for behavior outputs, they during the day sometimes and they serve

54:07 functions an injury or dysfunctions to these neurotransmitters and these specific nuclei that produced

54:17 means can result in loss of that warm class of chemicals being completely gone

54:23 the brain or affecting these particular And these particular neurotransmitters as I

54:31 are associated with specific neurological dysfunctions. in addition to these neurotransmitters are also

54:42 to talk about. A few other will later come up in the courts

54:47 well. A T. P. a denizen. So A T.

54:55 . Is a dinosaur bone triphosphate. an energy molecule right reducing our

55:04 It also serves as a neurotransmitter. has its own receptors to which it

55:09 grind neurons. Dennison is the core A. D. P. Is

55:14 a separate chemical. The dentist the set levels for example go up in

55:19 evening and it helps you fall asleep . Some of these chemicals will cycle

55:26 the day cycle diurnal cycle. Some these chemicals will cycle as they react

55:33 the external environmental input or whatever the or tasks that you're performing. So

55:40 dentist in levels go up at The dentist in levels go down in

55:44 morning. Most of you this morning consumed the substance that bound to genesis

55:54 . It's called caffeine, Tea, and and uh 90% probably more consume

56:11 in the morning. And it influences release. So these chemicals like the

56:20 and they can control glutamate that And other chemicals can control how much

56:26 the light switches on how much of is off. Right. Excitation on

56:32 is on So eight ep and the and we'll address that. They can

56:40 luda me. So when you consume and buys the denis's receptors it stimulates

56:46 release. And uh it's a pretty drug. It is sold sometimes and

56:52 corners of one intersection by one company Starbucks. And it's uh all of

57:01 have a very strong habit with Some of us are like I can't

57:05 to let out my coffee, you my tea. Whatever the preference for

57:14 you shouldn't colon or something that that . But let's talk about some other

57:26 we have uh Lady barbara love They love Me too. So this

57:41 a dennison. Let's talk about So we have gasses, nitrous oxide

57:52 carbon monoxide. They also can serve neurotransmitters. It's not interesting. I

58:00 say it gives saying a brain fart new meaning. So they have too

58:06 gas in my brain and the same . Too much problem but they act

58:12 neurotransmitters. Huh? And um okay class that I want to point out

58:31 endo kanab in the legs and bill and another molecule called ara que tonic

58:43 by the way. I partly love because of the names like our academic

58:49 . I wanted impossible to be my name but triphosphate had to come with

58:53 . And I wasn't sure about Triphosphate parts. But endocannabinoid endo are

59:03 indo and though it's endogenous molecules, means it's produced by your body.

59:13 of the molecules we're looking at amino 80 P. And then isn't it

59:19 peptides and peptides they're produced inside our . So our bodies produce candidates like

59:28 that can add a mod like molecules you also find cannabis plants and they're

59:33 endocrine. Optimism will study them because have very interesting mode of action.

59:39 look at them in the next couple lectures and we'll look at them within

59:43 larger scope at the very end of course within the endocannabinoid system which is

59:50 of the major homo static regulatory body that we have. And the cannabinoids

59:56 your happy molecules. So for a time it was thought that when people

60:04 long distance activities or repetitive athletic long distance runners there's just such a

60:11 that runner's high and when people finish workout intense workout long run, just

60:19 feeling of euphoria cannot be explained just you know. Yes, I worked

60:25 it's more than that and people call endorphins. Endorphins such as endogenous morphine

60:34 molecules but it turns out we don't do that. We release under cannabinoids

60:42 as increasing under cannabinoids with repetitive levels activity with sustained stress and long distance

60:52 is a little bit of a sustained on the whole body and metabolism.

60:57 this is the positive stimulation by the of endocannabinoid in the last few

61:02 it's emerging the descent of cannabinoids that responsible for what we call the runner's

61:08 feeling, feeling happy after exercising. our economic asset will get to the

61:14 of the second. Our economic asset one of the precursors of under phenomenal

61:20 and why these molecules are interesting gasses anonymous. Their lipid soluble. That

61:30 that they don't have vesicles in which are stored vesicles are fossil olympics.

61:37 right. And these olympics soluble. that means they get produced on demand

61:44 they cross through plasma membranes easily. not stored in vesicles like other

61:52 Like the assets and the means that stored and released in vesicles. So

61:58 have quite a distinct and interesting function the brain. An endocannabinoid, just

62:07 the denizen also regulation release of glutamate release of gabba, ignorance. So

62:14 cannabinoids and other molecules denizen means can the cycling and release of the excited

62:23 the inhibitor. So, on this note, I'm gonna end here today

62:33 when we come back we will continue about neuro peptides, neurotransmitters. A

62:40 of good stuff. We're actually gonna into the next lecture. Either

62:48 I'll decide if we go into this it has some of the same slides

62:54 we're gonna jump immediately into the next which is a neurotransmitter system. All

63:01 . I'll see everyone next
