00:01 This is Lecture five of cellular And what we ended up discussing last

00:09 was essentially the non culture for glutamate channels. So these are ligand gated

00:18 . We talked about different components. I have pointed out to the class

00:24 lecture materials for you to read a bit more, but I would like

00:29 you to know the structure of these have one through them. Before that

00:35 is a flip flop domain that there a clamp shell clam shell like structure

00:42 the agonists would be trapped in which this binding changes the conformational structure of

00:49 channel allows for the flux of the . And we talked about agonists

00:57 We also talked about competitive antagonists. if you recall competitive antagonists are going

01:04 compete for the same side that agonists trying to activate or open the

01:10 The competitive antagonists will try to compete the same side. So there's this

01:15 of binding affinity and what that means the higher the binding affinity for a

01:21 molecule. So receptor may have very binding affinity for an agonist and that

01:28 the low concentration of that agonist is bind to the channel and activate the

01:34 and it may have a low affinity antagonist. Low affinity means you have

01:39 have a lot of that antagonist in for for for it to compete with

01:44 agonist. So this is basically competitive and they're also alle ist eric modulators

01:54 we talked about. So they are and antagonists. If we think about

01:59 . Opening the channel antagonist closing the then or competitive antagonist closing the channel

02:06 the same side of agonists. And Terek modulators are distinct sites on this

02:16 . So unique size and their modulators they don't quite open the channel,

02:23 quite close the channel but they regulate opening and closing of the channel.

02:27 may influence for it to open more stay open longer. Uh and they

02:33 their own side. So they could negative Alistair IQ modulators but they can

02:39 positive Alistair IQ modulators and negative is that's something that's going to interfere with

02:46 function of an agonist and a positive IQ modulator and agonist combined to one

02:52 of the channel positive Alistair IQ modulator on a different side of this channel

02:58 both of them are doing the same . So it's supporting role for activation

03:05 example with a positive Alistair IQ modulator an agonist. Mhm. Uh So

03:14 then talked about reactive leo sis and happens in the case of inflammation and

03:23 and we discussed the up regulation of tropic glutamate receptors. So then we

03:29 we are going to talk a little about meta protropin glutamate receptors. What

03:33 they have. But this was an how uh glutamate signaling and astrocytes and

03:42 on the medical tropical ultimate receptors. astrocytes will influence the amount of glutamate

03:48 is responsible for excitation and that is to neurons and that is going to

03:55 to these glutamate receptor channels that we're about. So these are a nina

04:02 channels and point an M. A. We already discussed a little

04:06 about that but essentially we talked about A responsible for the early initial component

04:13 the E. P. S. . Which is excited to be part

04:16 potentials. And an M. A. Is responsible for the late

04:19 component of E. P. P. Mhm. Um Now how

04:28 we record activity in the form of . P. S. B.

04:33 do we record activity in the form action potentials? This is typically electro

04:41 techniques that we use. So we neurophysiology, electrophysiology, interchangeable electrophysiology is

04:48 you can do electrophysiology and um muscle . So then it's not neurophysiology,

04:55 electrophysiology on the muscle. The neurophysiology looking at the activity, the pre

05:02 cell which is producing the action potential the post synaptic response. And in

05:07 case when we were talking about glutamate talking about excitatory post synaptic potential and

05:12 response. We're gonna talk about Gaba we'll start talking about gaba maybe we'll

05:16 get through Gaba. We're gonna be about the inhibitory response. Excitatory responsible

05:22 cell. That means this potential from 65 becomes more positive and it's closer

05:27 the south of producer action potential inhibitory synaptic potentials will actually hyper polarized itself

05:35 away from the actual potential. So the neurotransmitter gets released here at the

05:42 oil terminal and it binds glutamate, post synaptic lee to the receptors.

05:48 post synaptic density you'll have collections of kinase receptors posten optically and that glutamate

05:55 to AMP and an M. A. Receptors will be responsible for

06:00 the excitatory post synaptic potential. So we are recording activity there are some

06:08 that are not generating the action So the excited or post synaptic

06:14 The graded potentials. E. S. P. S. A

06:17 potential action potential is all or That means that if you inject Significant

06:24 of current and you're gonna reach the of the threshold for action potential which

06:29 -45 million balls. You will generate or non advanced these action potentials.

06:37 the way that we interpret cellular responses lot of times is that if the

06:43 in here and green is a stimulus whatever you're seeing in the instrumentation whenever

06:52 have an electronic switch it's on and . So this is on switch,

06:58 current positive current is being injected, cell doesn't respond in this square wave

07:05 response. Instead the cell has resisted capacity those properties. And so this

07:12 change takes a little bit of You can see it takes a few

07:16 it's not immediate on and if the is weak you might get E.

07:22 . S. P. S. may get excitation of the membrane but

07:26 it doesn't reach the threshold for the potential, the membrane is not going

07:30 produce action potentials. Now if the is stronger you will produce action potentials

07:38 you reach the threshold value. And the stimulus is stronger the same cell

07:45 produce even higher frequency of action So in this case and some very

07:52 code neurons encoding the strength of the by frequencies of action potentials. At

08:02 point neurons have a limit to how action potentials they can produce in a

08:07 amount of time. Or they have boundaries for frequencies how fast they can

08:13 . So you can reach that upper limit of pushing the south to fire

08:19 frequently as it can. But in the stronger the input, the stronger

08:25 stimulus the higher is the number of action potentials and frequency. Because the

08:32 doesn't change, action potentials are all on events. So that always the

08:37 amplitude. But the frequency it's like morse code and it can go

08:44 It can go slower and that means encoding the strength of the stimulus and

08:49 information that that neuron will pass on the interconnect itself. So to record

08:55 electro physiological equipped activity we typically use clamp recordings and this is a number

09:06 examples of patch clamp recordings. So this case we have an electrode that

09:11 bring very close to the numbering of cell and we form a very mild

09:17 . Physical suction to the membrane and now attached. And so this recording

09:25 called cell attached. It's sort of putting your ear to the wall of

09:32 room where people are talking. So cell attached mode you're not gonna get

09:37 precise information. It's not going to very high applicant information but you're listening

09:44 essentially that wall right is like your for what's happening in the room.

09:52 in this case for electrode the it's like an antenna. What's happening

09:57 the room? Let's sell attachment in cell recordings. You would actually instead

10:04 just forming the pressure here and attaching the number rain, you're actually going

10:10 rupture the number and you do that with a little bit of mechanical suction

10:17 the pipe pad itself and you break member Now, instead of having your

10:24 to the wall and hardly discerning the system, what what people are saying

10:29 the other side of the wall, you've done here is you made a

10:33 in the wall and put your ear is your electrode and now you can

10:39 everything that's happening in that room and can hear it quite clearly with good

10:47 . Huh? This recording inside out is instead of rupturing the opening like

10:55 wholesale recording. Once you're attached to plasma membrane, you kind of shake

11:02 electrode physically mechanically. And if you're , these are procedures that you know

11:08 skills, years of practice and then hours to do if you shake the

11:15 and you you shake a little piece the number and you withdraw it.

11:21 now you're like taking a piece of wall and you're gonna study exactly that

11:27 of the wall, what what what interested in. So only the channels

11:31 are in this piece of the Rain. Only the channels that are

11:35 be open and the conductance is in current flexing through this piece of remember

11:39 that's what you're going to record. you're no longer recording the whole cell

11:43 . You're having an inside out It's literally a patch of a membrane

11:49 can be very insightful and very And in fact most of the times

11:55 it's a it's a much needed technique out. There's another technique and in

12:03 out you actually pull the piece of membrane. But then you apply the

12:07 and you break it and if on inside out you just withdrew this membrane

12:14 the see the inside of the protein is exposed to your experimental condition here

12:20 is the solution and you can put ions or chemicals in the solution right

12:27 here instead of the inside. Once membrane RIEN ILs it's the outside of

12:35 protein that exposed to your outside environment you say. Well, why do

12:39 want to do that? Because there a very interesting studies, especially

12:46 you want to have patches on the because you want to isolate certain conductance

12:51 like for one channel. So instead recording from the whole cell that will

12:56 many different channels, you actually gonna I'm gonna target one part of the

13:01 that has a lot of potassium channels I'm going to try to take a

13:05 . So my understanding of the system going to be more simple than all

13:10 rest of the cell. The other why is some substances do not pass

13:15 the membrane. Some substances do not through the membrane and some substances passed

13:22 . Remember if they don't pass through membrane then it's really interesting to study

13:28 fact that these substances on the outside the protein because they are likely to

13:33 found in extra cellular space. If pass through the membrane, you can

13:39 expose them to the inside of this , allow for that molecule to bind

13:45 then see how it affects the flocks the conductance is through the touch of

13:49 membrane that that you're targeting. These the Basically four main techniques attached wholesale

14:01 out and outside out techniques. for the outside out when it reveals

14:08 exactly are you doing, you're still currents through the ion channels. But

14:16 this case you can do chemical and manipulations that target the outside part of

14:23 channel without affecting the inside of that molecules that don't pass. And sometimes

14:29 don't know where it binds. So want to do inside out and outside

14:33 , you see where it has a effect. Sometimes it binds on both

14:36 , has two binding sides, but want to see which one is affecting

14:40 channel function more. So you could that by isolating inside out. Alright

14:48 outside out. No. Now some the recordings are inter cellular and the

14:56 that we're talking about here for the cell patch clamp in particular. This

15:02 the whole cell patch clamp recording. a couple of things that are happening

15:08 that are important to understand When you a large electorate. These electorates are

15:14 one micrometer in diameter. For wholesale on the rise, 1-2 micrometer

15:22 The cell size is 10 micro There's a diamond over Euro. How

15:31 do you think this electrode is not tip of the electrode? What's something

15:36 holding in your hand, It's It's humongous. So therefore that electrode

15:43 has this huge reservoir of fluid. if you make a hole in the

15:51 here, you better make sure that fluid inside the membrane matches the side

15:56 plas Mick, fluid apart from your experimental things you want to include,

16:02 once you rupture the opening. Let's if you had too much of water

16:07 too much ions in the in the pad, then the cell can collapse

16:13 cell can uh blow it up and and expand so it can many different

16:20 can happen. So what this is , these are called intracellular solutions.

16:25 inside there's inter cellular solution inside the and there's the electrode solution. And

16:36 electorate solution is you you put as experimenter, you put solution inside the

16:41 . It's hollow, it's gloss. you have to make sure it matches

16:46 electrode solution. Okay, We can call it internal solution of the electrode

16:52 the intracellular solution, intracellular environment of south. Now in wholesale recording you

17:00 have low resistance because the diameter of electorate is large. Right low electrode

17:12 . But you have high input resistance you actually are tags onto the cell

17:22 your input resistance for the electorate becomes input resistance of the cell because you're

17:27 everything that's going through that cell. it's high cellular input resistance, it's

17:36 better voltage clamp or better space So when you're regulating from this

17:42 you have a better ability to command your commanding voltage for the cell,

17:47 recording something from the cell, you a better ability to command that

17:51 It's called voltage clamp or space It's mostly visualized technique. So it's

18:00 that you would approach the cells and the cells in a blind mode without

18:06 anything. It happens and it has happen in vivo experimentally quite often.

18:12 most of it is visualized under the . Most of these recordings, whole

18:17 patch clamps will be done in So in the ditch on the left

18:25 and I started talking about the right because it matches the wholesale recordings here

18:30 the left, we have intracellular pipettes intracellular recordings. Look at these tiny

18:38 wispy diameter, uh maybe 0.1 Micrometer less in diameter. That means whatever

18:50 have inside this pie pod, it's gonna very easily leak inside the

18:57 So there's virtually no cell dialysis with 0.5 micro meter, even less.

19:03 I said, it could be 0.1 meter in the amateur. Just depends

19:08 you prepare it in the lab. very high electorate resistance. So when

19:16 thinking about resistance, a good analogy think about is water flowing through the

19:22 . If you have a lot of and a big hose you're gonna be

19:28 to transfer more water. But if have a small hose, you're gonna

19:33 to wait. So, and then why is because there's more pressure and

19:40 you want to deliver more, you to increase the pressure to push that

19:44 through the house. But as far the electrode itself, because it's so

19:50 , the electrode itself will have high resistance value. But the cell is

19:59 input resistance as you're recording from the , you're really manipulating current, uh

20:10 current for voltage manipulations than whole And you cannot really command the sell

20:15 well. You cannot tell the seller to command certain voltage potential. But

20:21 will see a lot of recordings will in these days will be whole cell

20:28 , but you'll still come across some recordings. Now, the advantage why

20:33 would want to do these sharp electrode recordings, They're also known as sharp

20:40 recordings because the electrode is really, sharp. The tip is very sharp

20:44 because you can do it blindly. you don't have to visualize the neuron

20:51 a microscope. And you can do lot of this work in vitro.

20:58 this is a comparison basically. Most this is in vitro techniques here.

21:04 looking at patch clamp recordings, you do them in viva very difficult most

21:09 the time you have to visualize. for intracellular recordings, you actually can

21:15 them without visualizing them. And you do a lot more work in vivo

21:20 these types of recordings. So, in electrophysiology or neurophysiology, most of

21:29 recordings in single cells. And we going to be a whole cell voltage

21:37 recordings or uh wholesale recordings in So this is whole cell recordings.

21:46 are patch membrane recordings for channels. this is stabbing. The electrode inter

21:54 early. And because there isn't that dialysis and you're not as concerned with

22:00 internal electric solution as much as you when you're ripping a big hole in

22:05 membrane and everything that's in this electrode die allies into the cell. So

22:14 kind of recordings when you have a of the membrane with channels. These

22:20 of recordings allow us to do studies single channels And isolate specific channels.

22:29 that patch of the number eight we isolate ample channel or an M.

22:34 . A. Channel. We may our agonists and antagonists to block everything

22:41 an M. D. A. . So what this illustrates as At

22:48 physiological conditions, extra cellular solution contains million dollar magnesium and this is an

22:57 . D. A receptor. So goes to how do we take apart

23:01 E. P. S. To the early component and late

23:07 The way that we do it is have to do these electro physiological

23:12 And if we're doing these recordings these single channel recordings. So this is

23:18 we isolated an M. D. receptor channel. And what shows you

23:23 of the magnesium blog if you release and you have the membrane potential at

23:31 60 million bowls hyper polarized. There's no openings of an M.

23:36 A receptor channel in the presence of and that's because if you remember an

23:42 . D. A receptor is blocked magnesium here. Okay so there's virtually

23:48 opening And you can see that there's opening at -30. There is virtually

23:56 car in flowing of zero millet balls the potential. There is a lot

24:03 an M. D. A current at the positive potentials. So what

24:08 are called these are called voltage clamp . We, as experimenters can tell

24:16 the whole cell patch clamp technique that described to you, we can hold

24:20 potential at different values. We can that the cell membrane you're going to

24:25 at minus 60 minus 30. I'm to apply glutamate and I'm gonna see

24:30 there's any fluxus through an M. . A receptor. In this right

24:37 you actually take the magnesium away zero , there's no more magnesium and this

24:44 shows that a minus 60 mila voles M. D. A receptor is

24:49 to be open and active. So proves that magnesium is really blocking an

24:55 . D. A receptor because in conditions the left and the right,

24:59 have a patch of the membrane, recording an M. D.

25:02 Current on the left, you have lot of magnesium and on the right

25:09 remove all of the magnesium and you're from the same patch and now you're

25:14 the same N. M. A receptor being active in the same

25:17 which is in the presence of So this is where we get into

25:24 potentials understanding reversal potentials especially the concerns rampant in India receptors. So ionic

25:40 flow. Different brain voltages can be as shown in figure a. What

25:46 shown in figure eights on the X . You have voltage and mila

25:52 Remember that membrane voltage or resting membrane is about minus 65 million volts.

26:00 here the voltages on the X axis the y axis you have current by

26:08 , current in this direction is outward current on the negative Y axis is

26:14 inward current. So this plot or graph is called an I.

26:23 Plot. Well I this is the in V. Is the voltage the

26:31 value of member and potential at which direction of current flow reverses is called

26:38 reversal potential. So you see this here at zero Before zero at negative

26:48 -60 -50. This current is inward zero potential. What is the value

26:57 the current is zero. But at positive potentials and mill evolves the direction

27:05 the current reverses. And that's why point at which the direction of the

27:11 reverses is called the reversal potential. this is an illustration of reversal potential

27:20 acetylcholine receptor which actually is the same for amp and an M.

27:26 A receptors. The value is the . But the plots are not always

27:32 same. Remember we talked about how channels when we talked about action potential

27:41 that these channels are voltage gated. do we have in an M.

27:48 . A receptor? We have a that is gated by both ligand and

27:58 ample is gated by Ligon. So binds to Tampa alma channel is open

28:06 in order to open an M. . A. S. Gated by

28:09 by neurotransmitter glutamate and by voltage. in this case it's not the gate

28:16 it's the magnesium block that the voltage alleviate from an M. D.

28:21 . Receptor. So if we look that ivy plots for the E.

28:29 . S. P. The excitatory synaptic potential. This is the holding

28:37 minus 80 million volts minus 40 plus . This is what the experimenter is

28:43 using Patch plan physiology and voltage You're dictating this potential This line here

28:53 the stimulus which is glutamate following the . Do you have an E.

29:00 . S. P. In this your recording currents you're holding voltage

29:05 Equals Ir arms law. You're holding your record according current current. I

29:15 you have a stimulus and the same slot And you're holding the seller's

29:23 I'm gonna hold it is positive 20-40 . And you're gonna ask a

29:32 I'm going to measure the amount of at the very peak of this

29:37 P. S. P. And going to call this? The peak

29:41 or the late early component. Early Or the P. Current here.

29:48 after the stimulation, this is 50 timescale, some five milliseconds later.

29:55 gonna measure this P component. The component. I'm also after I produced

30:02 stimulus here. Different potentials. 2040 . I'm also gonna measure this other

30:10 line here. Which is the late or the late current of E.

30:15 . S. P. Huh? as a measure the early component,

30:25 gonna make it. That you? plot. How does this early P

30:31 changes as I change the voltage from 80 minus 40 minus 20 even minus

30:39 , 200 minus 150 180 50 and on. And these triangles represent the

30:51 component. So these triangles filled and empty triangles is the early component of

31:02 . P. S. P. what does that tell you about?

31:06 ? Early component of E. S. B. It has a

31:10 I. V. Plot, It's like a straight line just like

31:18 saw here which is a saddle clothing chairman. What else? It has

31:27 reversal potential. zero Miller votes remember is I. D. Plot.

31:35 again this is outward current here. current is outward current and PICO amperes

31:42 and this is inward current just like is here, negative car and its

31:47 current. So the early component of excitatory post synaptic potential is linear And

31:55 reverses a zero Mila bells. Alright let's measure the late component. It's

32:03 same experiment replied glutamate we stimulated here glutamate. We first measured the early

32:13 and we saw that it is linear . V. Plot. We're now

32:17 to take and measure the late component the PSP. When we measure the

32:22 component of E. P. P. We see that at the

32:26 polarized potentials minus 100 minus 80. this is the circle here build circles

32:38 is almost around zero PICO amperes And it starts increasing at -60 -50 -40

32:50 . It reaches the maximum current value on the current scale axis And then

32:57 reverses a zero merlot vaults and then conducts in a linear fashion. The

33:05 current so that inward current has this component and once it reverses it becomes

33:14 outward. So both of these early late components which is early Zampa and

33:23 card is an M. D. . Both of them are reversed.

33:28 . The big difference is ampara is I. D. Plot and

33:33 D. A. Is not the why an M. D.

33:37 Is not linear is because if these here minus 100 minus 60 magnesium is

33:45 the channel and the really strong conductance when there is initial deep polarization through

33:53 receptor. And that's when an D. A. Starts acting as

33:57 detector alleviates magnesium block block and conducts this plot here. There's two more

34:10 . So first of all there is triangles that are filled. It's

34:14 it's ampara late circles that are This is an M. D.

34:20 . Then we have these open circles in open circles we added a

34:29 Which is a specific N. D. A receptor antagonist. We

34:34 it earlier when we mentioned that they their specific ampara and M.

34:39 A. And key Nate agonists. then in that same graph we mentioned

34:45 they have their specific antagonist. So seeing Q. X. And A

34:50 . V. Is for an D. A. Receptor is an

34:56 . So in the presence of this you now want to repeat the same

35:02 . And you see if you apply M. D. A receptor

35:06 And this is your test. Is specific to an M. D.

35:09 . Or is an antagonist going to the early component? So if you

35:15 to check whether this antagonist affects the component, you do the same

35:20 You apply glutamate and you measure the in current five milliseconds following the stimulation

35:27 early components. And you get the linear graph here open triangles and close

35:35 because this is not affecting the early . So this is one part of

35:39 experiment. This A T. Blocker antagonist. It's not affecting ample

35:45 specific to an M. D. . This is what I ordered in

35:49 book. So what would you Now I would expect that if I

35:55 a P. D. And I the late component that it would be

35:59 significantly. And so this blue area the curve is the late component.

36:08 blue area essentially is the contribution of M. D. A receptor.

36:14 you look there's actually more area under curve and blue than it is under

36:21 A. So the conductance overall conductors stronger than an M. D.

36:25 . Receptor. But if you repeat experiment you stimulate and you're gonna measure

36:32 component and you saw that you have closed circles so it's nonlinear late

36:38 But now you applied a PV and gambling that it's going to affect late

36:42 because a P. V. And M. D. A.

36:45 specific blocker. And indeed then you these open circles which is this flat

36:53 lingering around zero. Biology is very to have everything. 0 to have

37:00 100% blocked. But you can see these open circles are now indicating that

37:08 late component and the presence of a . D. Has been blocked.

37:12 is no more current. And this a number of experiments and techniques that

37:18 into this. So patch clamp isolating channel activity from these patches of the

37:27 , making sure that you are having correct environment and in this case making

37:33 that you're applying the toxin and that is binding to a specific part of

37:37 channel so that you can definitively demonstrate experiments. So there are two different

37:43 plots. The early components of P. S. P.

37:47 A linear plot and the late component is longer lasting and maybe even more

37:54 than the transfer of the charge is linear. That's an M.

37:59 A. And then D. A , a very important early development and

38:13 . D. A receptors are present the synopsis before amber receptors are

38:21 But there's synopsis are called silent synopsis in order for this an M.

38:28 . A receptor channel to function you to kick out magnesium to kick out

38:38 you need deep polarization and that depreciation from amper. So in early developmental

38:48 glutamate may be released and is released advanced NMDA receptors. But guess what

38:55 cell members about D. Polarized. amper receptors are not there and then

39:01 . A receptors will not open and synapses will remain silent or unresponsive and

39:08 you have this term of the silent and then the receptors were talking about

39:17 subunits, how you form the sub we discussed the AMP A receptor

39:23 an M. D. A receptor composition may change during the development.

39:32 . R. To a subunit subtype be dominant on M. D.

39:36 receptor and are to be becomes more in the later stages. So the

39:43 of these subunits that code for an . D. A receptor can change

39:47 a part of development as a part the activity dependent processes also. So

39:54 M. D. A receptor is important for learning and memory. And

40:00 be talking about plasticity. And in lectures from now we actually have our

40:12 coming up and almost it's it's actually thursday or is it on Tuesday?

40:28 ? Sorry I forgot what day of week on then, Monday.

40:36 In two weeks. So before that have this lecture we have Wednesday's lecture

40:45 excited or inhibitors circuits. We have following monday's electron elasticity heavy in

40:53 And then we have our review coming . So just to remind ourselves so

41:00 we talk about listed city that's why important for us to understand how an

41:05 . D. A receptor is so for plasticity, why it's perfectly positioned

41:14 pick up the pre synaptic signal and and to also pick up the pot

41:19 deep polarization. So it has these properties of pre synaptic and post synaptic

41:25 combine what's going on pre synaptic What's going on boston optical, there's

41:31 enough deep polarization posson ethically it's not to bind these two interactions. So

41:40 we talk about learning and memory, dendritic spines that we talked about the

41:47 common sides of synopsis of neurons and the most plastic elements. We talked

41:54 fragile like syndrome how you have abnormal who have abnormal processing and connectivity and

42:01 have mental retardation and other issues. these spines they constantly have to change

42:09 structure and they have to change the that they're expressing in the membrane.

42:13 receptor channels. So N. D. A receptors are very important

42:21 the concept of L. T. . Which stands for long term potentially

42:27 or long term plasticity. And we don't worry about it today. Just

42:35 enough long term plasticity. We have lecture and plasticity. We'll talk about

42:41 long term and and and the differences them. Yeah you said early development

42:54 whose only enemy and chance. So where do come from? Is

42:59 a certain point? Yes. Yeah exactly that's a very good

43:06 And it depends on what system it and it depends on the animal.

43:13 If they are late post natal developing you know some certain animals will have

43:19 late developing systems which are interesting to because their post natal and and the

43:25 systems maybe prenatal everything prenatal is so harder to study And especially if you

43:32 experimental manipulations you know. So you're talking about two systems. 2 organisms

43:41 prenatal. So uh so well well there is no kind of a set

43:53 . Oh the first week is an . D. A second week is

43:57 . But these changes are gradual and different systems they're also different times.

44:04 let's say in certain systems it's prenatal other animals and other systems. These

44:10 could be even post natal, the of the sub units of an

44:16 D. A. Receptor which will an M. D. A.

44:18 function and then insertion of ample And a lot of what happens in

44:25 in the developing brains is because of waves which de polarize the cells and

44:33 polarize enough in NBA receptors to activate . But the synopsis of silent the

44:40 transmission part of glutamate is released and D. A. Will stay silent

44:45 But if there's a large calcium Polarization wave due to activity and then

44:51 . A receptors will wake up. there's an alternative mechanism inactivating them.

44:56 it's not through neural transmission. That's they're called silent. So now.

45:05 these receptors change as part of the . Their subunits change. Uh Tampa

45:13 very fast and it can move across membranes and into the synopsis from extra

45:20 spaces into the synaptic spaces in a fast fashion. So the plasticity process

45:27 not only strengthening the synopsis and having receptor channels more open and active but

45:34 potentially inserting new receptor channels from the of the cell bringing new receptor channels

45:44 extra synaptic space is sort of a upon the reserve and that is an

45:50 dependent process everything that's happening in the the refinement we have early on everything

46:00 to everything very non specifically. and have a lot more synapses when we're

46:05 and we end up with when we're and during this process as we're exposed

46:11 different stimuli, sensory intellectual um uh uh sensory touch, all of

46:21 you know not just vision, we refine these connections. And this

46:27 of refinement is the process of And so you have to have an

46:32 . D. A receptor to have . You have to have mobile ample

46:38 to to to support the plasticity. there is more activity, you're gonna

46:47 more receptor channels sometime unless you're giving on that synapse and that synapse is

46:53 unresponsive to stimulus. So this other part of the uh slide actually talks

47:05 ample channel so both of these as can see a very important an important

47:10 D. A. And the major GIC channel subtypes what we said originally

47:18 all in M. D. Receptor channels will allow for the conductance

47:21 calcium and an ample receptors you can certain ample receptor channels that will allow

47:30 to come in and others that will allow calcium to come in. That's

47:34 a question for an M. A receptor. But for ample receptor

47:38 it is. And if you look the sequence and if you if you

47:42 the protein channels to build out of very long polyp peptide uh chains of

47:48 acids and their you know building to tertiary of ordinary structures and there's thousands

47:57 these amino acids that would be coding a small region of that podium.

48:03 if you take one of them from . two region Q. Which is

48:10 and this is glue R. Two . Which is ample receptor that has

48:17 . Which is glutamine amino acid in sequence. And you apply glutamate,

48:25 mike ramallah glutamate is the stimulus. you have these cool patch clamp and

48:32 channel recording techniques and voltage clamp. can control the potential. You apply

48:38 them, you record a very strong current and you apply glutamate and you

48:44 a slightly different experimental setup, you significant calcium current and in edited versions

48:52 glutamine gets replaced by arginine. You the same experiment with glutamate sodium currents

49:01 there. But when you apply glutamate currents are no longer there and it

49:09 seem pretty radical that a single amino in this huge three dimensional structure,

49:21 one break out of the wall renders channel unable to conduct calcium and calcium

49:31 very important for the south. Not much in the membrane potential changes because

49:35 we talk about action potentials, resting were talking about action potentials, we

49:40 about sodium and potassium. So that that the major flux is in the

49:47 of potential because of sodium and potassium little bit due to chloride but not

49:53 to calcio and because calcium serves a function that doesn't necessarily influence and change

50:01 neuronal number of potential as much as intracellular activity. Once enough calcium gets

50:09 it can either influence neural transmission or can activate secondary messengers inside the

50:15 In fact calcium itself is also a messenger. And sodium and potassium don't

50:21 those features. Their charge carriers calcium some charge two plus it contributes a

50:29 bit of that charge difference across plasma but has other significant functions. So

50:37 my reputation transmitters. Okay so I like sarah not necessarily but you would

50:56 less calcium. So if you have system where you have to both conduct

51:03 that means that cell is gonna get through both of these channels. And

51:08 different functions intracellular early. And if don't if you just have one,

51:20 that make sense? Then you have one source in those cells. So

51:26 it's an empire that is that is then oh you're only getting half of

51:33 or what the other cell is It doesn't matter. You have ample

51:36 . D. A. Channels but flux of calcium is not as abundant

51:40 those types of cells that influences their regulation the cellular signaling cascades and the

51:49 tiny says they can bind to a second bind to inside the cells.

51:58 I am the tropic everything that we about is I in the tropics so

52:02 we just mentioned minimal tropic. So an M. D. A.

52:07 ample kind an M. D. receptors. This is measurable tropic glutamate

52:12 . So there are glutamate receptors that not channels and binding of a ligand

52:20 this medical tropical interceptor will actually activate protein complex. We already mentioned that

52:27 this is one of the pathways of formidable tropical glutamate receptors is is the

52:34 of medical tropical ultimate receptor and its protein and complex can turn this molecule

52:41 . I. P. Two into different molecules. So this is another

52:45 is that you have a divergence of activity. You have one glutamate

52:52 one G protein coupled receptor. Motorboat glutamate receptor the same glue or

52:59 And then all of a sudden you and you have two signaling pathways inside

53:05 cell. Because activation of that deep broke up P. I.

53:09 Two through possible life A. Into I. P. Three and

53:14 . A. G molecule. A. G molecule. Diacetyl glycerol

53:19 membrane bound and is affecting protein tiny in the cellular level. And

53:27 P. Three nostril triphosphate will bind I. P. Three receptors on

53:35 and the plasmid, ridiculous um and and the plasmid particular contains high level

53:42 of calcium and binding of I. . Three to this I.

53:46 Three receptor calcium channel will allow for internal stores of calcium to be released

53:54 the cytoplasm. So you're talking about this is a third way that you

54:02 increase calcium intracellular early. So the would have all of these different strategies

54:08 calcium and through an M. A. Some ample channels Race calcium

54:15 early without any channels. Because there intracellular stores full of calcium too.

54:23 again we're not talking about oh you a lot of calcium inside the

54:28 Therefore remembering potential is 20 million volts . It's not it's it's really more

54:33 the signaling it happens intracellular early. kindness is the versus phosphate. Asus

54:42 is calcium co module and canes for it's one of the kindnesses that calcium

54:47 activate. And kindnesses will force for late molecules and other receptor channels that

54:55 add appeal for greed and phosphate. will defrost for a late that will

55:00 the P. O. For group a lot of times post correlating receptor

55:05 nearby channel may influence its function and or keeping that receptor channel open longer

55:13 phosphate stations or defrost for relating a of times means closure or cessation of

55:20 activity that is driven by P. by phosphor relation. So phosphate basis

55:25 kindness is so inside the cells you a number of hospitalizations and kindnesses that

55:33 always active and they're competing against each and they're somewhat specific and they're somewhat

55:40 specific inside the side of class but levels are are fairly uh well regulated

55:50 . So when we look at the protein coupled receptors they're no longer this

55:56 M one through M four sub units we talked about for ample receptor Uh

56:02 typically uh seven trans membrane subunits There's no channel for ligand binds it

56:19 then G protein gets activated. Acetylcholine muscular receptors which are measurable tropic.

56:28 has medical tropic glutamate receptors. Gaba measurable tropic Gaba B receptors, serotonin

56:35 norepinephrine and catholic cannabinoids E. P. That all have metabolic tropic

56:43 . That is not to say that it doesn't have to tropic receptors which

56:47 talked about in a tropical receptors. is not to say that Gabba.

56:50 is both the tropicals trump. Acetylcholine both the tropic in metal shop.

56:57 then there are certain substances that truly serotonin dopamine, norepinephrine and catelynn cannabinoids

57:04 A. T. P. They're acting through medical tropic. So certain

57:12 will act through ion a tropic and tropical receptors and other chemicals will only

57:17 metabolic tropic receptors not channels. Yaba the major inhibitory neurotransmitter of the

57:30 Gaba will bind to Gaba receptor This is Gaba A receptor and this

57:39 different from Gaba D in your uh supporting documents. You have Gaba

57:51 I'm also reminding that you have these are alluded to you This one

57:59 D. A. And this is information where we took the figures for

58:07 nomenclature and I don't need you to the nominee cultures. It's really just

58:12 how there are different systems and how these portions are important more about the

58:19 and antagonists and different portions of ligand domain versus the uh iron channel four

58:27 so on. And the figure on . Oh sis is here too.

58:34 when we come down to an D. A. And glutamate,

58:40 also have Gaba. Gabe's amino acid as the primary inhibitory neurotransmitter in the

58:47 . Major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the spinal is not Gaba really. He wrote

59:01 interesting for all the book says, I seen so is just saying that

59:11 also in the spinal cord even though and a no this is that's maybe

59:22 could interpret it that it sends the inhibitor signal to the spinal cord but

59:27 says major in the spinal cord which why I say it's just interesting.

59:38 let's let's okay so uh this is is a homework question. Yeah.

59:52 a second because they say the primary the brain and they say oh primary

59:59 major primary it's but it's slicing that's major I think saying is there is

60:13 a difference between primary neurotransmitter in Okay here's a homework question. The

60:25 question now. Oh yeah I mean we'll answer it together because I was

60:32 what somehow overlooked the first sentence in . I had this up for like

60:36 or three years now. Never like attention the first sentence I guess you

60:42 . But okay primary functions between neurons binding post synaptic Gaba receptors which modulate

60:49 channels. So some of the Gabba , ion channels and others will modulate

60:55 channels hyper polarizing the cell, inhibiting transmission of the action potential. We

61:00 agree with that clinical significance of Gabba be underestimated disorder and Gaba signaling is

61:07 in multitude of neurologic and psychiatric modulation of Gaba signaling is the basis

61:13 many pharmacologic treatments in neurology, psychiatry anesthesia. Okay so in general we

61:20 start delving into this concept today. even more so next lecture we have

61:28 and inhibition. So major excitation is majors inhibition. Gaba, why are

61:33 saying that Gaba is such a target neuro pharmacological treatments. We also talked

61:40 how an M. D. A is also target but Gabby is for

61:44 reasons. Typically when there is an of excitation and inhibition is because there's

61:50 little inhibition. Excitation is not being and in general everything that will activate

61:58 receptor is going to be inhibitory which going to be a sedative effect and

62:06 static effect on the brain and the . So you have a synthesis you

62:16 released, we haven't gotten their degradation here is the most important to major

62:23 receptors. Gaba and Gaba. Gaba . Is ion a tropic.

62:32 Yeah bobby is a metal tropic G coupled receptor increases post synaptic potassium

62:41 So if Gaba is working through Gabby is working through increasing postion optic

62:51 and decreasing pre synaptic calcium. So we have to, this is

62:57 little bit complicated, don't worry about . So but it's not really.

63:07 is very interesting due to extra selling of florida being lower than intracellular levels

63:13 developing brain. Gaba has excited to in the fetal and neonatal brain.

63:20 there's reversal potentials they can influence a and Gaba is actually excitatory in the

63:30 . So developmentally first you have an . D. A. Synopsis that

63:34 silent and Gaba that can be It's the opposite of what happens in

63:41 brands. Of course it talks about lot major inhibitor an urgency that the

63:49 cord again wow we'll have to look that and revise talks about many different

64:01 . But for us what's important is Gaba binding will open this channel and

64:14 is going to come inside. So you remember finding a blue timid two

64:24 them D. A. or amper the influx of sodium in calcium and

64:33 of sodium we had deep polarization we E. P. S.

64:40 Excitatory post synaptic potential one Gaba by Gaba A receptor it will allow for

64:56 of chloride which will make the membrane negative and will cause an I.

65:05 . S. P. Or inhibitory potential. Mhm. So person optically

65:13 can have Gaba A. And D. A. And ample

65:20 You also can have Gabby. So A will increase the level of flora

65:28 like other receptor channels and non receptors are channels. Gaba receptor has multiple

65:39 sites for different substances. Ethanol or will bind together or something Benzodiazepine.

65:49 we will talk about benzodiazepine as one the most common anti epileptic medications.

65:54 we talk about epilepsy also binds to barbiturates bind to Gavin. There are

66:03 bind together. What do these things in common benzodiazepines? Barbiturates, ethanol

66:09 sedative they increase the levels of inhibition then is a common pharmacological drug.

66:20 is alcohol is a common recreationally drug the effect of both can be quite

66:29 . So that means that a person is taking anti epileptic drugs and high

66:35 that are team may feel drunk literally drunk like uh and that's because it's

66:45 the same receptor. So um yeah would be um metodo tropic. So

67:00 since we set up the theme of A. And B. And we

67:04 up the theme with psychotropic versus medical and glutamate. Now it's easier.

67:11 what's more complicated what's more interesting is seems to be more functions related to

67:18 B physiological. So Gaba it's pretty Gaba binds to Gaba A. And

67:24 goes in and you have hyper What about Gabba being and we'll put

67:32 of this in the perspective in the Gabby is measurable tropic. Gaba binds

67:41 this receptor and can do two things can open potassium channels. So if

67:47 open channels this is outside and this inside and potassium is leaking out.

68:02 means that inside of the number eight becoming more negative so it causes the

68:08 polarization and that is happening fast in . And through another mechanism Gaba B

68:19 activation can block calcium influx pre synaptic . So when we talk about uh

68:28 that it Gaba signaling as those functions described in here and it shuts down

68:42 calcium influx. What do we need for? We're not changing much of

68:48 member and potential with calcium. We calcium too release neurotransmitters and to have

68:57 of this intracellular signaling cascades that we about. Yabba A. Is the

69:06 I PSP and Gaba B. Is late I. P. S.

69:09 . And I'm gonna come back and this in the next lecture because I

69:14 to review the slide with you guys briefly and then we're gonna move into

69:20 inhibitory networks and some rules by which operate. But this diagram is something

69:26 you should study and something that you understand. Well because it has pretty

69:32 everything that we talked about with the of ample channels. So let's look

69:39 , what's happening. So this is synapse says Gabba. That means it's

69:44 Gaba is being released and when Gaba to Gaba A, this is Galba

69:54 blue chloride goes in and you have polarization. But the same molecule Gaba

70:01 post synaptic li buy into these little here. Gaba bees and those Gaba

70:08 posson ethically can also open potassium and more hyper polarization, hyper polarization and

70:17 polarization. So early I PSP component A. Is chloride and late component

70:26 I PS PS gobbledy because metro tropic activation takes some time 10 20 milliseconds

70:32 so delayed for the actual process and of the potassium channel and further hyper

70:40 Gaba as it gets released. Also synaptic alie on the inhibitory neurons as

70:47 B outer receptors or auto receptors. they will bind to Gaba B

70:54 Pre synaptic lee will regulate the amount calcium calcium is necessary for neurotransmitter

71:01 So Gaba hyper polarizes the cell but also can control itself by saying I'm

71:09 going to release more of this So if there's a lot of gaba

71:14 that's coming around here. It's now that I'm not going to release any

71:19 of this. It's auto regulation of own release here nearby. We have

71:25 glutamate excitatory synapse glutamate is being released but glutamate pre synaptic terminals. They

71:35 have pre synaptic gap to be And if there's a lot of Gaba

71:41 and this Gaba actually spills over it activate Gaba B receptors, shut down

71:46 of calcium and shut down the release glutamate on the pre synaptic glutamate

71:54 So gabby can regulate the pre synaptic release and pre synaptic gather roots both

72:02 the receptors. When glutamate gets We know will bind and planned an

72:08 . D. A. Will cause . P. S. P.

72:10 know that N. M. A receptor is a large source of

72:15 source of calcium influx calcium through interactions calcium, co modular lint and through

72:23 through Gabba B. And through this Jalin onto the potassium channel can open

72:30 synaptic potassium channel. This will cause polarization positive charge leaving which will then

72:40 start the deep polarization causing hyper polarization will block the NMDA receptor activity without

72:50 polarization. You have magnesium block. here it's Gaba B. That's regulating

72:59 synaptic glutamate synapse through the secondary messenger through calcium. So calcium again plays

73:08 of an important role in regulating inter activity rather than the member in potential

73:21 . So all of these things are good things to review here. When

73:25 come back. Next lecture we will up where we left off with this

73:30 , we'll talk more about specific antagonists Gabba Gabba B. And then go

73:36 talking about the circuits and the seizures . In addition some rules by which

73:41 circuits learn uh the brain rhythms and the plasticity. Uh and I'll bring

73:50 supplementary material to read for plasticity. of it I may be uploaded

73:56 but I have one really good book that I well uh share with you

74:07 on synaptic plasticity. Uh because it's good way of explaining that that I

74:14 the way it's been explained in this money. Alright, so we'll see

74:19 all on
