00:00 Start. Uh It's our lecture 12 neuroscience and we're talking about synaptic transmission

00:09 we're talking about some important concepts where compared what is happening at the neuro

00:15 junction where you only have excitation and only have one type of acetylcholine receptor

00:21 is nicotine, nick, Ryan, tropic acetylcholine receptor channel and where the

00:27 plate potential is approximately 70 million. change in E. P.

00:34 And that is different from the N. S. Components that we

00:39 . We discussed different classes of these . We distinguish between amino acid neurotransmitters

00:46 are widely distributed and expressed throughout the . N. S. And the

00:50 cord mean neurotransmitters that are confined their and synthesis within certain nuclei of the

00:59 . N. S. But they have a widespread release throughout the CNS

01:04 the referee as well as the The differences in the peptides and release

01:09 the peptide molecules compared to the The things that are necessary for the

01:16 fusion to take place and cause neurotransmitter . And if it is glued in

01:22 that gets released and there's an influx positive charge it will cause austin optically

01:28 graded potential which is E. S. P. Excitatory post synaptic

01:33 . Excitatory post synaptic potential E. . S. P. And if

01:37 excitatory post synaptic potential reaches the threshold the action potential generation, it will

01:45 all or non event action potential that produced. So you need deep polarization

01:52 once the action potential arrives, influx calcium fusion of the vesicles vesicles.

01:58 complex and release of the neurotransmitter. Some of the techniques that we discussed

02:04 study membrane components which fractured technique as as to look at the morphological distribution

02:12 let's say vesicles at the doctor and zones and correlation to both executed calcium

02:18 which are necessary as well as imaging the calcium spatial temporal dynamics of calcium

02:26 and the pre synaptic terminals with calcium dyes. So tracing dies essentially.

02:32 also partial neurotransmitter release. There is a tropic versus metabolic tropic signaling that

02:40 discussed already. And continue discussing further the next lecture two, we looked

02:45 at the neuro pharmacology gee of So we started developing this land which

02:50 an endogenous agonist endogenous or something produced the body. What is a natural

02:58 that comes from animal. What is the vital molecule that comes from the

03:04 ? What is humanly synthesized chemicals. so we talked about a single colon

03:09 endogenous agonist for both nicotine acetylcholine receptor and most chronic medical tropics protein coupled

03:17 here. And they have their own curare is found in nature. Atropine

03:22 be synthesized in the lab and a of these can then be re synthesized

03:26 they're found in nature but they will two types of receptors in the cns

03:31 that's different from the neuro muscular Oh so we looked at the acetylcholine

03:39 you should know everything that's on here your quiz next friday and also for

03:45 midterm to acetylcholine synthesis release degradation uh that are involved in synthesis and degradation

03:54 well as the fact that we discuss most of the alzheimer's medications are cyclical

03:59 necessaries inhibitors. And if you inhibit nestor rate, which is an acetylcholine

04:06 enzyme, if you block this enzyme basically choose up acetylcholine molecule into Colin

04:14 acetic acid and you prolong the by of these molecules and you'll see that

04:19 can control Alzheimer's disease. Just slow the progression. But you can control

04:26 amount of acetylcholine. It's still available prolonging its by availability by blocking its

04:34 . And you will see other examples other I mean neurotransmitter systems where common

04:42 drugs of action and also illicit drugs the market affect neural transmission within the

04:50 transport of molecules into the pre synaptic or uploading them into the vesicles prison

05:00 . Then we talked about how you some molecules that are present in

05:05 They can cause some disease like uh by clostridium botulinum botulinum toxins but you

05:13 also adapt it for your own And for beauty uses it can block

05:18 transmission and reduce the wrinkle appearance on the skin, basically by blocking the

05:26 of acetylcholine vesicles and release of acetylcholine reduced and it is also being used

05:33 FDA approved medication for treatment of So different purposes by which these molecules

05:40 be used. We discussed organophosphates or gasses and we said that nerve gasses

05:47 in a similar fashion to the Alzheimer's medications in the in the sense that

05:53 are several colonist Aries inhibitors. The that C H E S. It'll

05:58 er is inhibitors. So you'll say then they should be all famous

06:02 but when they used as a war as a lethal tool, illegally learned

06:09 are illegal for for warfare, but they're used, so they affect acetylcholine

06:16 contract and signaling of these locally, only in the brain, and it

06:21 cause seizures but that may not kill , but it can affect your breathing

06:26 diaphragm. And if there's too much and the muscle gets stimulated when the

06:31 is stimulated nonstop, it goes into tannic a state which means that just

06:37 permanently contract and cannot relax. And do you do when you breathe?

06:43 do. But you're contracting muscles and you relax and you contract them and

06:47 relax them. And if you can them, you stop breathing. So

06:52 lethal effects of the North gasses would be through the cns effects, but

06:57 through affecting muscles and tissues that are the diaphragm into breathing, which is

07:05 for living and for her brain. , so we learned a lot of

07:12 stuff, There's a little bit overlap the next two lectures, but I

07:17 wanted to remind you that when we about the system a little uh acetylcholine

07:23 or a mean system or norepinephrine system serotonin system, they're different from amino

07:32 neurotransmitters which would be widely distributed and in different cells. But as you

07:37 see and I'd like for you to with the exam that the seat of

07:42 for norepinephrine in the C. S. Is local cyril ius or

07:47 cyril yous locus is an area So really this is blue because when

07:52 cut the brain tissue, the neurons and turn blue in this area.

07:57 this is a nucleus which will be of cells. Hundreds of thousands of

08:01 that synthesize norepinephrine and then they supply through their very disk used projections into

08:08 C. N. S. Are and also to the spinal cord wrapping

08:14 are responsible for serotonin production. And can see that sometimes there's more than

08:18 nucleus, there's one more than one where serotonin is produced. So you

08:25 to wrapping nuclei that supply centrally serotonin to wrapping nuclei located deeper within brainstem

08:34 into medulla oblon gata here that they're the spinal cord. So this is

08:40 nuclei and this is serotonin. If look at these two green nuclei,

08:47 cellular basal forebrain and this green I hear the dunkel, Aponte ein

08:54 lateral dorsal to dismantle nuclear here. are the two nuclei that will be

09:00 a single colon. Okay and so when we talk about Alzheimer's disease in

09:07 to acetylcholine. The reason why a colonist or ace inhibitors of common medications

09:15 because there is a decrease and loss a proper amount of acetylcholine because there

09:22 degeneration and loss of these what we Colin ergic neurons, neurons that sid

09:30 are called Colin urgent. The ones have glutamate glutamate ergic, the ones

09:36 have Gaba gaba ergic, the ones have serotonin serotonin ergic uh norepinephrine on

09:46 under energetic. Okay, so there's little bit of a vocabulary there around

09:51 these these things that we're discussing. uh I'm gonna go back to where

09:58 kind of left off here talking, described E. P. S.

10:02 . S. And I PS PS greater potentials will come back and talk

10:06 them. But the idea that will is and C. N.

10:13 If you're looking at E P. . P. S. Or I

10:17 PS. And E. P. . P. And I PSP is

10:24 0.5 mil of all deep polarization. it's an E. P.

10:30 P. So change single ep sp in the post synaptic membrane potential.

10:38 guys understand all of this. The post synaptic membrane potential is about

10:44 million balls. Okay and in this it is E. P.

10:49 B. It's excitatory excitatory post synaptic . Okay. Alright. And this

11:00 deep polarization in post synaptic cell. . This is about E.

11:10 S. P. And we're talking I PS. P. Okay I

11:16 PS are inhibitory boston opic potential and per polarization and posson optic cell.

11:33 is a change in the membrane potential about half a melon ball. Okay

11:39 this is in the C. S. And you remember in the

11:43 muscular junction here in the skeletal muscles had potential and that employed potential was

11:53 . That means that activation of axon a single synapse is sufficient to cause

12:00 contraction of the muscle. The post very large potential that will generate action

12:07 . Now you have this neuron that lingering around -65 area here.

12:16 And it's changing its number and So if it receives excitation and

12:23 P. S. P. From single synapse it may cause a small

12:27 polarization but it may also receive an input and it will cause a small

12:33 polarization and maybe even a stronger hyper and then a stronger deep polarization.

12:39 if you activate 46 synopsis eight if you start some mating excited current

12:48 And each one of these synopses or one of the ep sp activation from

12:54 single synapse 0.5 million volts. That you have to have at least 40

13:01 excitatory synopsis or maybe even more because the same time the cell might be

13:07 inhibitory but so these are great and they can be half a mil of

13:11 . They can be one mil of the typical, they're about the same

13:15 because of the number of molecules that released from the vesicles, typically about

13:20 same quanta. We talked about molecules small variations known how it gets released

13:26 some of them may be released So some of these are maybe partial

13:31 and full releases a neurotransmitter. But it reaches the threshold for action potential

13:37 when it's going to generate this all non response. And uh this is

13:44 I'm gonna do this because the action compared to the E. P.

13:49 . P. S are actually very fast responses. Right? So if

13:56 timescale here is about one millisecond and other second and the timescale here or

14:09 . P. S. P. about five milliseconds. Okay, this

14:24 my time bar another seconds. And then again, you know,

14:29 the cell gets hyper polarized for a and then another excited the barrage of

14:35 comes in that this one goes this and it never reaches the threshold.

14:40 the cell never fires an action So this is really explaining the

14:47 P. S. P. And I. P. S.

14:49 . S. I was so good carrying like a number of colorful markers

14:52 my left them, another classroom So this is good though,

15:00 And everybody can draw with me and reminds you about all of these time

15:04 . All of these potentials. You take notes E. P.

15:07 P. S. You know. deep polarization here will be an ep

15:11 hyper polarization from resting membrane potential is I. P. S.

15:16 E. P. S. Is my ma. Is produced by

15:23 is produced by glutamate and I. . S. P. S produced

15:29 Gaba. So glutamate causes influx of and that's what causes the deep

15:38 So when glutamate binds to glutamate receptors we'll start talking about them today all

15:42 the glutamate receptors in the cNS. when gaba binds to gaba receptor

15:48 So it allows them to influx of which is negative charge going in and

15:52 an I. P. S. . Because direct versus indirect ion a

15:59 versus medical tropic. So medical tropic where you don't have a channel.

16:05 when neurotransmitter binds to this receptor, receptor is coupled to G protein and

16:10 protein can have an effect on the channels in the plasma membrane so they

16:17 regulate other ion channels through the jew complex. And if you're talking about

16:24 on a tropic activation so the release the bicycle of the neurotransmitter crossing of

16:32 synapse binding to the receptor and influx chloride. This is what we call

16:39 synaptic delay. This takes about few from the time there is a pre

16:45 action potential to the time when you a post synaptic response. Either

16:50 P. S. P. I. P. S.

16:51 There's typically a few millisecond delay and a synaptic delay. Now remember gap

16:58 or electrical junctions don't have that That's why when we talked about gap

17:03 or electrical junctions we said that they the passage of all ions. But

17:07 immediate and it's really good for fast and engaging networks of cells interconnected cells

17:15 a very fast fashion with chemical You have these delays. So you

17:21 this delay here of 5 to 10 . Well guess what? You also

17:26 even a longer delay here because this one advise the G protein coupled receptor

17:32 has to catalyze activate this G protein . G protein complex has to move

17:38 distance within the south to either before late for example an ion channel or

17:45 an enzyme that will induce the production the secondary messenger and that secondary messenger

17:51 have an effect. And these are may take time. So from the

17:58 this neurotransmitter binds the G protein coupled at the time it modulates an ion

18:05 nearby. There can be 20 milliseconds time, 50 milliseconds in some instances

18:12 or 200 milliseconds that pass. And when we talk about this kind of

18:19 neural transmission. The release of the binding of that neurotransmitter to the

18:26 synaptic receptor channel the post synaptic E. P. S.

18:30 S. I. P. Pieces they're strong enough. E

18:33 S. P. Post synaptic cell also generate an action potential. Okay

18:42 but this is not generating an P. S. P.

18:47 I. P. S. If metabolic tropic channels are affected ion

18:53 it may have a small influence on membrane potential charge because it is regulating

18:59 ion channel will see that meadow tropic is regulating potassium ion channels. What

19:08 this effect through secondary messengers? That's that's going to cause a deep

19:13 And E. P. S. . No so notable tropic signaling is

19:17 little bit different. It might involve ionic change of the number and potential

19:24 is acting on the ionic channels. if it is acting on the secondary

19:30 and those secondary messengers potentially could even going all the way to the nucleus

19:37 the transcription factors that's not really gonna the membrane potential. It's gonna change

19:43 cellular signal. And those changes can impactful and longer lasting too. So

19:52 general think about this. Just think the brain which you've learned so

19:58 It is pretty complicated but you have and neurons are fast and produce fast

20:04 potentials and E. P. P. S. Are a little

20:06 slower and these medical tropic effects if throughout the tropic channels are even slower

20:13 the cellular facts are even slower and longer lasting. You have real

20:19 Well, cells are slow in they're not involved in producing fast action

20:24 that produce low calcium waves. Slow waves, it's a different temporal scale

20:30 operation. We will also be involved micro glia in cytokine release and inflammation

20:38 . It's a slower temporal scale. taking days and weeks. It's not

20:44 fast action potential, It's not an . P. S. P that

20:47 a duration of 10 or so milliseconds five millisecond synaptic delay. It's different

20:53 scales. So put these things in for two cells communicating if it's gap

21:01 it's immediate. So you don't have synaptic transmission delay. If it's

21:06 you inevitably have that synaptic transmission Okay, so review the acetylcholine and

21:15 you recall, acetylcholine will bind to IQ. And most sarinic. So

21:23 is a natural agonist to both types nicotine and and muscular nick. Acetylcholine

21:31 . Nicotine comes from tobacco plants uh it is an exogenous Fido molecule but

21:41 also an agonist to nicotine, acetylcholine must corinne is an agonist, musk

21:49 IQ. And then they have antagonists is something that opens or activists channel

21:56 activist. The receptor for do protein antagonist is something that inactivated blocks the

22:05 or blocks the G program complex So they have their respective agonists and

22:14 uh chemical and natural and endogenous neurotransmitter a pseudo code and what you learned

22:21 acetylcholine also uh is kind of a to other systems. So the cat

22:30 colony in class of the means where have tyrosine as precursor to L

22:37 which is a precursor to dopamine, to norepinephrine and the precursor to the

22:45 . So what does that tell you tells you that release of one

22:49 One neurotransmitter can be a precursor to neurotransmitter. Right? Some of some

22:55 some of these get generated depending on behavioral states. For example, cata

23:04 means when they get released they will only on medical tropic receptors and here

23:10 will be transported. Or we have back and when they're we have taken

23:16 there will be will be degraded by amine oxide. Asus. So there's

23:25 enzyme that degrees in here it's Mon oxidation and uh drugs illicit drugs like

23:36 and cocaine. So methamphetamine, meth crystal math would have a significant effect

23:44 blocking the re uptake of cata cola stimulating and increasing dopamine and also consequentially

23:57 too. So some of these drugs have multiple targets in the brain.

24:04 now there are also pharmaceutical drugs that control Mon ami Mon ami knocks ID

24:12 and they would be mono amine oxidase of pharmaceutical drugs and if they inhibit

24:18 oxidation of the means. That means prolong the availability of the means to

24:24 re uploaded. They're not getting degraded they're cycling faster. They're more available

24:30 this neurotransmitter system to cycle through. I don't want you to know that

24:38 synthesizing enzymes so that it's pretty easy have deco box analysis. The decoder

24:44 silica molecules you have hydroxy analysis that an O. H. Group.

24:52 what you're seeing here is that they are structurally similar. These molecules chemically

25:01 similar molecules. They'll have their own receptors and they all have different subtypes

25:07 receptors and norepinephrine through the tropics signaling target multiple different receptors and processing optic

25:15 serotonin but here mood appetite sleep So serotonin and serotonin dysfunctions. Here

25:29 have the PROzac is a serotonin re inhibitor. This is a re uptake

25:38 . When serotonin gets released it gets up taken and then it gets degraded

25:44 mono monoxide Asus. Okay but if block again re uptake, this is

25:50 a pharmaceutical medication brand name pros that it is a serotonin re uptake inhibitor

25:57 you hear you will hear people use re uptake inhibitors or S.

26:02 I. S. Somebody in the or somebody in from pharmacological Wardlaw.

26:07 taking sRS and things like that. guess what it is for mood mental

26:13 . Distort is depression, anxiety which all interrelated with with sleep too because

26:19 you're in a bad mood, you sleep and if you don't sleep you

26:22 learn well in a bad mood. don't learn well either. So it's

26:27 interrelated now serotonin has a precursor of . There's a lot of tryptophan in

26:34 uh stripped of time goes into five which is a dropsy trip to fan

26:40 five HTP car box elated and makes serotonin or five hydroxy trip to

26:48 So once again no transmitters, these transmitters who are studying if you're talking

26:56 excitation and inhibition that's uh switch on off now this means they're all of

27:02 different behavioral states. So dope. mean a lot of dope. I

27:07 a lot of norepinephrine, you're in upstate, you engage statement gets released

27:13 the big bears running at you, don't get typically sleepy and say oh

27:19 really entertaining, I'm gonna relax. bear is coming to take my head

27:24 and loving to do so now when are going to be in a different

27:31 , the appetite, different neurotransmitters are to be activated different states that sometimes

27:39 imposed on us extra cellular uh cellular externally right different environments and it dictates

27:50 mood and it changes the production and release of these different molecules. So

27:56 you walk in in a dim lit that has com music playing and candles

28:03 aromatherapy, you probably get relaxed and levels go down serotonin levels go up

28:13 denison levels go up. Then you into the gym where everybody's pumped up

28:19 running and jumping. You know different different mood kicks in different neurotransmitters now

28:28 different behavior. Now they have these upset. So if you have a

28:34 system upset then you have dysfunctions like , clinical depression, anxiety associated with

28:43 elements PROzac and srs would be treatment depression and anxiety. If you have

28:49 system upset and motor disorders like uh disease for example. Okay, so

28:57 associated with different states but also with neurological conditions. Okay now in the

29:07 we already discuss them and they're somewhat to the gasses that we mentioned.

29:14 oxide and carbon monoxide. Not because their function but because of how they

29:21 in the synopsis and in the But the end of cannabinoids are endogenous

29:28 molecules. You don't have to eat gummy or anything it's inside of

29:33 This production of endocannabinoid that goes up the stress levels and activity levels in

29:39 south and the body go up where of the neurotransmitters we're discussing here such

29:46 for example, glutamate gets released prison and advised to the receptors post synaptic

29:54 and causes post synaptic in fact. this is referred as anterograde signaling for

30:00 synaptic synaptic and other South and other but ended up in adenoids and the

30:07 nitrous oxide and carbon monoxide. Both and retrograde fashion. And what can

30:15 of cannabinoids do is they serve as feedback molecules. So the endocannabinoid system

30:25 this type of signaling is relatively new our understanding in neuroscience We've just really

30:34 then the cannabinoid system, mostly the scientists in Czech scientists in 1990s.

30:42 some of these things we know less 30 years about. But the initial

30:48 of Anandamide and to a geo to phenomenal glycerol is the end of Canavan

30:57 molecules happened in the early nineties. there, we have to have the

31:03 system, right? So if you a neurotransmitter, this is under cannabinoids

31:08 enzymes that synthesize right have to release they're not stored in the vesicles the

31:16 there is heightened levels of activity pre lee there is deep polarization process in

31:22 they're hyper polarization. Either one so can be with glutamate or Gaba.

31:28 increased productions of these other cannabinoid person optically the lipid soluble, so

31:35 cross the plasma membranes and they travel the retrograde fashion to the pre synaptic

31:41 where they bind to cannabinoid sectors. they have their target receptors as part

31:46 the system. CB one receptors cannabinoid one which is expressed ubiquitously on most

31:53 of the neurons CB one receptor is jeffersonian coupled receptor an activation of CB

32:01 receptor and this jeopardy in complex will the closure of voltage gated calcium

32:09 Remember that voltage gated calcium channels and so that the vesicles confuse and cause

32:16 release. So if you block the gated calcium channels prison optically you block

32:24 release and that's why it's a negative system. Too much excitation. And

32:32 cannabinoids kick in retrograde lee, activate protein complex here and shut down the

32:40 . Too much inhibition. And the activate retrograde lee travel and regulate the

32:47 molecule release. So it places under in this situation where they control both

32:56 and inhibitory molecule released at the pre level but from past synaptic side not

33:03 in vesicles lipid soluble and function retrograde and so do the gasses and now

33:12 cl mhm delta nine THC is the here on top. And you can

33:20 there's some structural similarities between anandamide and glycerol. Delta nine THC is a

33:27 cannabinoid molecule that comes from the from cannabis plant and you can see

33:33 a different structure. But a lot these receptors will have multiple binding sites

33:39 multiple molecules endogenous and exogenous can bind these receptors. And so th

33:48 That the line THC will buy two one this afternoon mimic the activity of

33:59 . Yeah, so the blocks the one receptor activates CB one receptor.

34:12 good question. The agonist of CB receptor. But in which case the

34:17 of the CB one receptor is to down the calcium signal the agonist because

34:25 activate this g protein complex, that of that g protein complex doesn't mean

34:30 polarization of positive effect. It can multiple times control of iron channels into

34:36 or messengers and such. But this the mechanism also uh uh dennison is

34:43 molecule from A. T. We discussed will be exerting a similar

34:48 through different different koppel receptor also regulating channels. There's several molecules in the

34:56 that will be doing the same function controlling their transmitter release. You're

35:03 Okay so we'll come back and talk this a little bit more. We'll

35:08 talk about this uh later later in course also. Uh yeah now a

35:17 way to study neurotransmitters. So now are a scientist, a neuroscientist and

35:23 in the lab and you learn how make brain slices. And you're gonna

35:28 the question, I want to know cells in the hippocampus are inhibitory,

35:33 ones are excited during And uh so you look for example in a nina

35:42 , major inhibitory neurotransmitter Gaba is actually from the major excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate and

35:50 is done with atomic is God. means that all of the South that

35:57 releasing Gaba are gonna have God um all of the cells that carry glutamate

36:04 gonna have glutamate or they're gonna have other synthesizing molecules for glutamate. Remember

36:12 was for sale locally called transfer is that that that synthesizes see locally.

36:21 there are two techniques that are commonly for detecting neurotransmitter expression and different cell

36:27 and that's immune system chemistry and in hybridization and um you know is the

36:33 immuno it's an immune response to actually the candidate molecule of interest from let's

36:39 a mouse injected into rabbit. That will have an immune response to.

36:44 . Will generate antibodies to it which can isolate them. And these antibodies

36:50 pictured as wise here can be tagged visible markers so that you can see

36:58 in color and typically in fluorescent And these antibodies will be specific to

37:03 neurotransmitter of interest that that you've isolated now you've isolated the antibodies for

37:09 So you know it's the chemistry is technique where you apply the antibodies on

37:15 slides and the slides here it says shows two cells that will have let's

37:19 thousands of cells. But let's say cells. And there's a little bit

37:22 techniques. So you introduce detergent, wash the membranes to allow for this

37:28 to come inside the cells binds to target interest molecule neurotransmitter protein, you

37:36 it. Okay. And then you a number of washes. So the

37:42 that the antibody doesn't bind to, will not show anything All this antibody

37:47 gonna get washed away from that. the cells that express that neurotransmitter,

37:52 protein and enzyme of interest. They light up and it will all be

37:56 . So out of these two cells all of them they have been exposed

38:00 the same antibody with a fluorescent Only one of them is expressing a

38:06 americans that have interest and only one them will show a visible marker visual

38:13 . Insider hybridization is different there you're strands of messenger and neurons by radio

38:22 labeled probes that have proper sequences of nucleic acids. So you make the

38:29 because you know what economic era, genes code for, what proteins or

38:37 enzymes. And so you have a that you're targeting now for that specific

38:44 it's radioactively labeled. And again you apply it and only the cells that

38:50 a complementary strand of messenger RNA will bound up like that. I call

38:56 a sophisticated velcro will get bound up complementary nucleic acids and you will see

39:03 only these cells are expressing that messenger specific molecule of interest. So it

39:09 be done in a single cell sub early cell circuits on network uh it

39:18 also be done on the whole animal for example in the embryo. This

39:23 just an example of expression of the Truck B, which encodes neurotrophic tires

39:30 two receptor no widespread but specific expression brain and spinal cord in various cranial

39:38 axial skeletal structures. And then spinal tail region. So wherever you're seeing

39:44 dark darker areas. Okay darker that's where you have an expression of

39:51 molecule of interest in this case it's receptor but you can track expression of

39:57 and this says this is embryo sagittal through 14.5 day old mouse embryo.

40:07 this is really very valuable because a of different expression of chemicals in the

40:15 in the cns and the body expression receptor channels subunits of these receptor

40:24 They don't all happen all at The brain just formed like this.

40:28 takes time. There's sometimes a sequential and you want to for example now

40:35 is the earliest appearance of that receptor the embryo? And what do you

40:43 then as a graduate student? Your embryo at five days old, six

40:47 old, 10 days old, 12 old, 14 days old and then

40:52 don't see anything and you're at your end and then you section it at

40:56 days old and boom it lights up it shows you so it tells you

41:01 this is an expression of that protein started at a certain time. It

41:07 change its spatial expression over development and aging and it may change expression of

41:15 levels and sometimes spatial expression as a of aging process. Also not just

41:23 but also aging. We talked about neurotransmitter mimicry. So that's on a

41:31 level. So when you look at chemistry and cd hybridization you can visualize

41:35 cells have what but if you want study the E. P.

41:38 P. S. The I PS . What is application of acetylcholine has

41:43 do with deep realization hyper polarization. want to do neurotransmitter mimicry. And

41:48 talked about it. You can apply through the pipe that you will be

41:52 a significant amount of diffusion here. if you stimulate it this is glutamate

41:57 neuron. You will record your If you isolated the glutamate and applied

42:02 here, you will recording PSP. we talked about in caging of

42:07 Use the neurotransmitters that are caged and cages. And breaking these cages with

42:13 or with lasers can be a useful to study very spatially specific activation along

42:20 dendrite. And even are they? has a message that you that you

42:42 you uh express. Yeah. So cells that have cata cola means they

42:50 bind to messenger RNA. The radioactive . Nearby cells don't have cata cola

42:56 they will not show it. If can target an enzyme to you can

43:00 God for example, Time capacity per ladies. So, all right.

43:08 now, what happens in in in Denver. Right. And what we

43:15 about here in this example, we talked about how if you activate

43:22 one or few excited synapses, this is not going to reach the threshold

43:28 action potential. So you have to many synapses. And so the brain

43:34 strategy of how to do that and does sell through a couple of

43:40 One of them is called spatial So one synapse, one action potential

43:47 in one synapse produces a small E . S. P. Small p

43:52 , then three of them that are very close in space near each other

43:59 produce a much larger maybe even three the amplitude of that U.

44:04 S. P. So this is summation. You have temporal summation.

44:10 one action potential produces a small T. S. P. If

44:16 cell repeats action potentials produces a small to action potentials to each is gonna

44:28 with an E P S. Foss. In optical you're gonna record

44:31 pasta E P S. P. this is called temporal information. You

44:36 see that the maximum altitude is reached spatial information, temporal summation will cause

44:45 larger ups. But you can see with on the PSP starts the

44:50 So that's why this temporarily some Adedy from a single axon is not as

44:58 of an aptitude as the Ep sp gets produced with spatially sublimated inputs and

45:06 done drive if you remember this is patch of been really cable. And

45:12 we talked about how there is no regeneration of that signal. It's only

45:20 potentials that regenerated each note of round but the deep realizations and then drives

45:26 capitalizations actually leak out the cable is insulated. And if you have a

45:34 amount of current injected in this location causes a certain change in the number

45:39 potential here positive change only a small or a fraction of that change is

45:46 to be recorded some distance away so not going to be like an action

45:52 . An axon where action potential is to be the same amplitude when it

45:56 an action initial segment and when it the external terminal you have a decay

46:01 the signal here over distance and we calculate what is called the length constant

46:10 v lambda or lambda V. Either which is V lambda is the 37%

46:19 this location here in the denver you the voltage by 100% which is

46:26 L the maximum year 100% over some . This very strong deep polarization is

46:36 to decrease decrease, decrease decrease until reaches 37% value. So 37% of

46:47 maximum value. The distance Along the ride that it takes story to go

46:54 100% to 37% is the λ And this is the λ is the

47:01 constant. So you can measure the and the longer the length constant the

47:10 it is for the temporal summation in . So the longer the length

47:20 Do something here, one count. . Look at the length constant

48:00 this is what we're talking about. in some instances this length constant can

48:08 longer and it can take like a this window come back to it.

48:29 is short length constant. This is short length constant. This is very

48:34 length constant. So the shorter the , that means that if you had

48:41 that were specially some mated we better in temporarily sublimated, especially temporally submitted

48:48 data. Be better be very very fast summation here you provide a

48:55 more opportunity for for for spatial summation you have this long length constant which

49:01 more of the deep polarization over So you can build on and build

49:05 and build on it and reach the for the action potential. Okay uh

49:13 you can see here that if you any PSP which is a lot of

49:19 inputs will be coming in distantly. you have excitatory synapse here generate C

49:26 and there's no inhibition in the system at the level of the summer you're

49:30 to record a small E. S. P. If you have

49:35 excitatory synapse activated but quite often you'll inhibitors synapses that are located around the

49:42 here. Remember the closer to the closer to the action initial

49:47 the more influence you have on the properties of the cell influencing whether the

49:53 is going to produce an action potential or not. While you have

49:57 S. P. Here distilling the right and it's traveling down. You

50:03 activate inhibitory synapse. A lot of current is going to shout and escape

50:09 here. And the end result at level of the soma is that there's

50:15 no change in the membrane potential. what happened here? Inhibition canceled out

50:21 excitation. So the excitation has a job cut out for it. You

50:27 tens to hundreds of thousands sometimes active synapses that are dis delete to overcome

50:34 much smaller percentage of 10 or 20% inhibitory synapses that are formed here

50:41 But they have a very strong effect basically um influencing the final response from

50:49 cell and it now in modulation. I said neural transmission. And I

50:59 neural transmission you release neurotransmitter. You the PSP neuromodulation, secondary messengers coding

51:06 . Highnesses can add P. 04 and phosphorus channels. They're also molecules

51:12 called phosphate. Asus and they'll just the opposite. That will take away

51:16 P. 04 group. Okay, this is happening on the intracellular uh

51:23 signaling, cellular signaling cascade level and different iterations. There is a little

51:31 of overlap here. There's different presentations these systems. A single Colin

51:37 Serotonin cata cola mean systems you're responsible everything in Alzheimer's I mean sorry on

51:46 including the alzheimer's medications functions. Uh this is how masculinity or metaphor

51:54 Acetylcholine receptor works when you bind the into little tropic receptor. It will

52:01 potassium channel and it will allow for flux of potassium through nicotine. It

52:11 allow equal influx of sodium suicidal Wanted boston academic it promotes deep polarization

52:20 mascara nick with some delay. It opening of potassium and hyper polarization.

52:28 they're opposing actions the same molecule but different nicotine IQ tropic versus madavo

52:37 They have a different effect at the of the member and potential here.

52:47 ? Oh now let's talk about if have a competition between Iowa tropic and

52:54 tropic I just said nicotine increases mascara and you have the competition at the

53:00 of medical tropic on the cellular targets cellular cascade. So here you have

53:07 . Norepinephrine can buy into beta receptors is like here it doesn't show up

53:12 G protein or G. S. stimulant or a protean will push the

53:17 to produce more activated in a little produce more cycling. Campion produce more

53:23 chains which can force correlate channels and same molecule can activate another metal tropic

53:30 . Beta alpha which is linked to . I. The inhibitory G.

53:37 which will inhibit the. Dental cyclists the production cycle can be reduced the

53:42 of program guidance systems called push pull This beta receptors pushing the system activation

53:50 beta, pushing to produce more cycle . And this system is pulling it

53:55 from producing more cycle K. And according to chinese says an enzyme and

54:02 are capable of plus for leading Again. So this is a lot

54:08 men of the tropics signaling. Don't that amino acids are everywhere and the

54:17 are in these nuclei. Uh If talking about cata cola mean movement,

54:24 , attention, visceral function, appetite, sleep learning, do they

54:27 overlapping functions? Sure. Couple of can control different different functions or similar

54:34 behaviors. Similar responses in the body the end of cannabinoids a little bit

54:41 . I guess this mechanism, I mention that because they didn't have written

54:46 in the bigger slide. This mechanism signaling and suppression of neurotransmitter release is

54:54 deep polarization induced suppression of the condition deep polarization induced suppression of sanitation.

55:01 realization because there's going to be pre deep polarization which is going to

55:06 let's say gluten. Maker rules and Blue to maple cause influx of calcium

55:13 africa lee ji memoranda. Cannabinoids, polarization induced suppression of excitation. If

55:21 inhibition, there's going to be deep of inhibitory synaptic terminals, there's going

55:27 be post synaptic activity influx of calcium different levels. Production of other phenomenons

55:33 control of inhibition. The suppression of and suppression of excitation. Delta

55:40 I wanted to mention that. I haven't written out Delta nine THC or

55:46 was a fighter. Cannabinoid. It's most famous fighter can adam. It

55:51 uh cabinet that was isolated in 1960 only It was banned in about

55:59 So Canada's altogether the prohibition of Canada over 100 years ago. But delta

56:07 is a naturally occurring molecule. Another phyto cannabinoid is CBD, which is

56:18 and you will see almost everybody from shops to gas stations to clinics selling

56:24 creams and oils. And CBD does cause the same effect as THC

56:32 When it binds to CB one it's responsible for causing the high or

56:38 euphoria in effect when you consume delta THC. So does that mean under

56:47 ? Get you high if you produce of these, they're responsible for good

56:53 and they're responsible for protecting cells and neural transmission. So yeah, under

57:00 in a way give people what is the runner's high. It's not equated

57:06 getting high with Canada's development nine But this is the fact that it

57:12 exert and it will exert in the . The CB one receptor that THC

57:16 also an agonist that will regulate the . But you have to be careful

57:24 aware of is there are derivatives of natural phyto cannabinoids like delta nine THC

57:31 CBD. They're called delta eight You'll also see it on every gas

57:37 delta 10 th C. You will things like acetate delta eight.

57:45 delta 10 acetate all those are a bit a lot unknown molecules. And

57:57 not super dangerous but a little bit because we don't know enough about Delta

58:02 and delta 10 th C. It's anecdotally that it comes from the

58:07 In fact most of the Delta And Delta 10 th C. That

58:11 on the market in these gas stations produced from other phyto cannabinoid CBD and

58:18 nine THC from hemp plants typically. the process by which is converted into

58:26 Delta 10, there's no standard So a lot of synthetic phenomenons and

58:32 is delta and delta 10, a synthetic phenomenons because they synthesized from a

58:38 that's a natural precursor. And then we talk about later in the course

58:42 also tell you about synthetic phenomenon which be very dangerous. Uh and they

58:50 are acting on the brain and the in a very different way from the

58:57 or natural phenomenons. Okay, so aware of all of these things because

59:02 surrounding you every day and you have know what they are and with these

59:12 , unfortunately, especially in the gas and Vape shops and such. You

59:18 , people take advice of a person the counter and they take all sorts

59:23 advice, you know, will make yeah good you sleep. It's like

59:28 , I can't feel my legs for hours, great. You know,

59:31 in the middle of the highway, . You know, you didn't tell

59:34 that part, you know, so aware of these things. We'll talk

59:39 about this because it's a change that happening as you're growing up your generation

59:45 cannabis globally with medicinal applications of there's gonna be huge pharmaceutical breakthroughs with

59:55 . We already have some that are medications. There will be even more

60:00 also more natural molecules are coming into world. So when we talk about

60:06 for example, and we talk about treatment of depression, treatment of

60:14 which is post traumatic stress disorder, are new emergent uh molecules such as

60:26 from magic mushrooms or psychedelic mushrooms that currently in clinical studies and are being

60:35 in different locations around the world for to treat depression and to treat anxiety

60:41 treat addiction. Some drugs are very and we're now learning that there are

60:48 other drugs that are described as psychedelics have anti addictive properties and some of

60:59 will mimic again some of the actions antidepressants. I think maybe I lost

61:15 recording and we'll see what happens. no, it's maybe recording recording

61:30 Okay, hopefully it picks it So the the issue with somebody having

61:38 depression anxiety is it can be It's not, I'm just anxious to

61:44 an exam. People have so much . Are you nervous? Yeah,

61:48 have butterflies, You don't have a condition of anxiety. You know,

61:52 you have a chronic condition, if totally anxious, you may not want

61:55 come outside and talk to people may to go through your day and

61:59 you know, so you are assess their eyes so totally we have

62:05 inhibitors. Is it like you take and the pain goes away. So

62:11 take a. S. R. no longer depressed. I have no

62:14 or laughing, you know, know is the typical effect? Three

62:21 maybe sometimes longer. Alright, so have to wait, imagine waiting through

62:29 for three weeks that is debilitating to mentally. Very, very difficult.

62:36 ? The surprising thing that we're learning about psilocybin from mushrooms is a single

62:43 of these molecules can drive people to smoking and nicotine use that they've done

62:50 decades. Single use can improve their for a long time. And the

62:57 that people are seeing are within hours a day or two and a lot

63:03 times with a lot of pharmaceutical This is another thing. You guys

63:07 the future of neuro pharmacology. Hopefully of you in this world and creating

63:12 smart and interesting drugs. Right? of these uh drugs don't kick in

63:21 a while and then what do you to do but to keep taking them

63:27 sometimes you have to increase the dose of one tablet. Now you're into

63:31 , you're taking it three times a . 10 mg is not enough.

63:34 mg, increase the dose. I'll you a cocktail, maybe that will

63:37 now you're in two medications, three that's not working. Let's wean you

63:41 one. It's for for neurologists or , for people in medical field,

63:50 are solving a problem. They don't a given solution to each one of

63:53 As individuals. Each one of us a different foe different than the stony

63:58 these chemicals floating around and different. know, you move one piece of

64:03 in the soup and then, you , your beef is floating around

64:06 So it's changing things. That's one , changing the activity of another chemical

64:12 . And so it's difficult for a of times for medical doctors and

64:17 especially with mental conditions to come up a effective treatment. Okay. And

64:25 these turning out the natural ones that turning out one use and you have

64:31 effect that potentially last for one or years. That's great. It's not

64:36 great for pharmaceutical industry because you it's not much sale uh repeating selling

64:44 pill that you have to take over over and over and over over every

64:48 . So this is these are the of treatments were looking, I'm not

64:51 that everybody should do self outside. I'm telling you that these are the

64:56 of treatments that we're looking for. we affect the condition within hours rather

65:02 weeks. Can we cause a change you take the pill? You take

65:08 injection, you take some treatment. is long lasting, so you don't

65:13 to do it every day. you don't have to carry, you

65:17 , a bag of prescription pills and to treat a certain condition. So

65:23 the future. You know? And learning a lot of it from

65:27 We're learning a lot of it from the chemistry in the brain and

65:30 also have to be very, very because the biggest problem right now with

65:36 drugs in this country is fentaNYL. the reason why you don't hear

65:46 Oh this uh this person they uh our endocannabinoid? Is this person smoked

65:54 and they died. How many states adult use of legal use of marijuana

66:03 cannabis? Legally, millions of people this country. So you'd be reporting

66:09 every day. There's something about certain . There are non non lethal.

66:15 sure they can intoxicate you. Gonna you, it can cause psychosis.

66:20 not all beneficial effects of cannabinoids. negative effects. Also, it can

66:25 Children, send them to toxicology. those same kids will go to school

66:29 , once they ate their parents their stomachs get washed out and then

66:33 back to school day later. It's lethal. The problem with sentimental is

66:40 it's so lethal. With such small , it's powder, it's synthetic,

66:46 derivatives of it. So you don't , I'll give you any white powder

66:49 Alaska what it is and you won't what it is. You know,

66:53 if it is an illicit drug it be almost anything and you don't know

66:58 there's no regulatory system behind it. no lab measuring results or anything like

67:04 . The other problem with the opiates the sentinel. So only a couple

67:08 milligrams will kill you opioid drugs that prescription medications to treat pain. We

67:16 also overdoses and deaths from pharmaceutical We have a lot of thousands of

67:21 dying in the United States from treating from pain from opiates. Why are

67:26 many people dying from those molecules? effective does is small couple of

67:34 But a lethal does from pharmaceutical drugs opiates can be just three or four

67:39 of an effective dose. It's the as if to add val's take away

67:43 headache. Eight Advil will kill That's the analogy with the opiates,

67:49 turns out that with a lot of molecules and fentaNYL, it's even worse

67:54 derivatives of it, it's even worse with natural molecules you don't always get

68:00 same effect and that is very much on how they will bind and the

68:06 that receptors it delta nine THC will to the CB one receptor, it

68:11 cause a person to get a high for 34 hours. That's it.

68:16 it's a synthetic cannabinoid advise the seaview the stop it may stick to it

68:21 two weeks and may cause acute psychosis to chronic psychosis leading to chronic disabilities

68:31 things like cash. Because they're synthetic are known their full agonists versus partial

68:38 . So when we talk about agonist of the molecules will be partial agonists

68:43 changed the bond to that receptor. only partially influenced the podium so there's

68:49 dynamic range there or they're full and like maximally activate the system and stick

68:55 these different receptors in the brain. done. But we're a little bit

69:05 so I'm gonna talk a little bit glutamate. We'll start talking about

69:09 Glutamate is an endogenous neurotransmitter that will to three types of amyotrophic. We

69:14 accept this and and in the end eight and then we'll have chemical agonists

69:21 and that will have their special violence and these receptors and will basically distinguish

69:29 between these three different subtypes of A tropic glutamate receptor channels and when

69:37 gets released it has caused E. . S. P. And it's

69:41 mostly through AMFA and NMDA receptors when gets released and advice to ankara receptors

69:50 causes the initial deep polarization. I'll that these are live in gated receptor

69:56 and just like we talked about nicotine will allow for influx of sodium and

70:02 . You have a receptacle opera influx sodium. This is the initial d

70:08 influx of potassium will be this re of the PSP and the first flu

70:15 receptor channels to open our ample receptors of glutamate in NBA receptors does not

70:22 an NBA receptors. There are two that are necessary for an M.

70:26 . A receptor is to open. of them is the binding of glutamate

70:30 the other is deep polarization because NMDA have magnesium that is blocking the

70:39 And to remove this magnesium you actually to de polarize the plasma membrane.

70:45 in the initial deep polarization which happens apple receptors allows for magnesium to leave

70:52 NBA receptors open an NBA receptors and NBA receptors will allow for significant influx

70:59 sodium calcium in potassium. So all them via receptors were allowed to put

71:05 of sodium and calcium only some ample will allow for influx of calcium but

71:12 will all allow for the influx of and the flux of potassium. Okay

71:20 so they have distinct agonists and antagonists we we'll talk about antagonists in the

71:26 selectivity. So they're selected for certain conductance and then via receptors are capable

71:33 much larger conductance is ample receptor is to be responsible for the initial phase

71:38 U. P. S. And M. D. A receptor

71:41 going to be responsible for the late of E. S. P.

71:48 um well actually end here for today when we come back we'll get in

71:55 into the glue dramaturgical pharmacology. We'll about inhibition inhibitory pharmacology and we'll move

72:04 the c. N. S. we have about maybe half an hour

72:07 neural transmission. A lot for what be neural transmission for. Thank you

72:12 . And I'll see you next
