00:01 This is neuroscience. Midterm one Spring , Mid Term one Review where we

00:13 go over some of the key material we covered in the first section of

00:18 course. This is the very first from the lecture materials that you saw

00:26 we started building our understanding of what are, what their functions are,

00:34 a glial cells, what a different self functions. Understanding that diverse set

00:42 neurons and glial cells comprised neuronal networks these neuronal networks are interconnected within the

00:52 nervous system in generating emotions, motor expressions and thoughts that all live

01:06 the cerebral cortex. The book again the course is neuroscience exploring the brain

01:16 we started discussing prehistoric times, mentioned nations for interpretations as the first neuro

01:26 that were performed in different parts of world. We further discussed Imhotep as

01:33 important figure that not only developed and this triage medical treatment system, but

01:44 recognize the distant effects of central nervous injury on the periphery. From these

01:52 injury cases that he studied in ancient , Hippocrates, different Egyptians considered bring

02:01 major controlling organ center of the but Aristotle did not uh and dozen

02:12 of you an understanding of the brain renaissance times questions the previous anatomical descriptions

02:21 the brain that were mostly based on animal anatomy, concentrating very much during

02:28 time on this ventricular view of the , ventricles are important. They're filled

02:35 fluids and also distinguishing between the gray white matter. We then highlighted work

02:42 rene the car guitar Go soon I therefore I am and his ability to

02:52 distinguishing what is a reflex of behavior theory and his understanding of a higher

02:59 and connection of the outside world with inside brain and higher consciousness through pineal

03:06 and further his proposal of the brain the body operating in a fluid mechanical

03:13 model again, where the fluids from ventricle also being pumped into the periphery

03:19 order to perform certain actions and then Galvani shows that it is not the

03:24 . It is the electricity by shocking nerve or by shocking frogs.

03:32 dogs muscle contracts and so shocking the sends an electrical signal to the muscle

03:39 nerves can generate electricity that a lot water pipes. The major parts of

03:44 cns is the brain, which is cerebral cortex divided into the frontal

03:51 parietal lobe, occipital lobe and temporal . Is the major lobes, frontal

03:56 parietal is separated by the central Or this imagination exhibit a love is

04:02 the back of the brain and that is this large sylvian fissure separating the

04:08 lobe here from uh the rest of cerebral cortex and the doc. You

04:13 the cerebellum or the little brain that's to the brain stem and the brain

04:19 extends into the spinal cord. And have spinal nerves that radiate out in

04:24 each vertebra, spinal cord proper goes to about lumber 23. And from

04:32 you have caught in a queen a off the nerves and projecting into the

04:37 extremities of the body. Mhm. discussed this uh arrangement of uh the

04:48 information where all of this sensor information from the periphery from the skin muscles

04:55 joints and it travels through the dorsal and enters into the dorsal part of

05:03 spinal cord through the dorsal root ganglion . So these are accents that pick

05:09 information in the periphery in red are different accents that carry that information to

05:15 , so most of dorsal root ganglion located right outside the spy little court

05:22 . And their projections going into the cord dorsal in and on the ventral

05:28 which would be the front side and ventral side. You have the output

05:33 the form of the motor nerves. the motor nerves from the spinal cord

05:38 come out and they will innovate these fibers that will innovate the muscles and

05:44 the contraction or relaxation of the So you have the sensory after current

05:52 going through the dorsal regain mint. dorsal aspects of the spinal cord and

05:57 neuron information coming out from the ventral . Innovating the muscles to output the

06:05 command. And all of this information the neck below Comes from the Spinal

06:11 , 31 pairs of spinal nerves that a different extent along the body from

06:19 shoulders all the way to toes and we started understanding more and more brain

06:29 , we started trying to locally specific functions. And so please review the

06:35 and chronology where chronologies try to predict of specific brain function by looking at

06:41 shape of the skull. Yeah. anatomy rather than inside the brain

06:49 And of course there were quite wrong this led us to trying to understand

06:54 parts of the brain are responsible for functions and where can we find

06:59 And paul Broca was the first one definitive was showed through damage. Now

07:04 can see that these localization of brain came through finding damage to specific areas

07:11 the brain and broker found this damage this in the frontal lobe. You're

07:15 close to the motor cortex and damage brokers. Air causes expressive aphasia inability

07:22 express yourself through speech or writing in with motor cortex that will be producing

07:29 commands for you to speak or We also discussed vernon CAS area and

07:34 to veronica's area will cause receptive And we also touched on the least

07:42 form of aphasia, economic or Aphasia as well as the most severe

07:47 or global aphasia. So please review terms. The story of finance gauge

07:53 also very important for localization of brain . If you recall damage to his

07:59 lobe did not render him completely incapacitated in a wheelchair but instead it impaired

08:08 executive functions and impaired here control of emotions and aggressions and the fact that

08:15 I. And it showed also this study that depends where you have a

08:20 in the brain but that damage can quite specific. You may still write

08:25 read and walk, you may not vision in one eye, but you

08:30 a lot of functions and that's because parts of the brain are responsible for

08:35 functions. In the light of this evolutionary concepts of neuroscience, we discuss

08:44 Darwin and we brought up this very structure in the somatosensory cortex and we

08:51 that there is a cortical map. you see in the periphery? And

08:55 cortical map is the barrel cortex where one of these brown barrels and the

09:00 represents a whisker on the whisker And so we discussed this within the

09:05 that for rodents that whisk around and their environment will influence the development of

09:12 peripheral structures as well as the reflection the networks that encode the peripheral structures

09:18 the brain that we call cortical maps that anatomical and functional cortical maps.

09:24 of course monkeys are very visual Therefore their environment in their uh cortical

09:33 is advanced in in other areas. finally we came to this very important

09:45 . So please review the difference between particular theory and neuron doctrine and these

09:51 very important figures. Camelia gold, invented the Golgi stain and know that

09:57 stain stays only a fraction of neurons all of their processes in great

10:02 Ramona alcohol was Camelia Gold's student that these stains and describing the morphological

10:09 the morphology, the structure of these and also the cell networks and

10:15 I'll strengthen that in a huge way the synapse, this very specialist place

10:21 the communication between neurons takes place. so ramon alcohol predicted that neurons will

10:26 inputs in certain parts and will transmit outputs through accents in a certain

10:33 And Camelia Golda was proponent of ridiculous . Ramona ca hollis, proponent of

10:41 doctrine and even proposed a concept of that these connections are valuable and they

10:47 change over time and activity between the together accepted a noble noble prize,

10:54 on the particular theory, neuron other very important state. It is

11:00 and you should know these differences with stain. Uh This is a missile

11:07 . Missile stain by France, missile a great way to stay in all

11:13 the cells and missile stain was used comedian bradman to describe the side architectural

11:19 densities, population arrangements stacking off the in different parts of the brain for

11:27 to understand how the brain works. have to go on a really small

11:32 level And we need to have electron that have a resolution of 0.1 nm

11:39 the synaptic space between this pre synaptic that is filled with vesicles filled with

11:47 . And this pasta synaptic them drive is located year and the dendritic

11:52 This past synaptic density that we can visualize the space and the synapse which

11:57 10 20 nanometers across. We can that. And this is very important

12:04 we start understanding these micro cellular single , even single molecule level events and

12:13 only anatomy but also functionality. You have to always stay in cells.

12:21 so we discussed this infrared microscopy technique allows us to visualize neurons and allows

12:27 to target neurons with micro electrodes and electrical activity. It's in the current

12:34 of neuroscience. We have the ability study anatomy the changes in structure as

12:42 as the functionality of the level of molecule single receptor protein, single dendritic

12:49 and synapse single cell war as is here with pauses, drama emission

12:55 which is a non invasive imaging. can study the larger brain maps and

13:01 brain maps maps of activity of active as they get activated by performance of

13:09 tasks such as looking at war versus words. So we have a lot

13:17 processes. We know that each function absurd more by more than one neural

13:25 that we know that we involve different of the brain and performing these different

13:32 . And so we're gaining understanding and these brain maps. Uh I mean

13:37 we're performing different functions, how may be altered by altering the reality around

13:43 or as a consequence of neurological This part we discussed that there are

13:50 uh specialists in nervous system with their as well as other careers that are

14:00 associated him could benefit from having this perspective, the general learning. We

14:09 moved to discuss functions of neurons and . We reviewed some of the basic

14:15 anatomy and organize that we find the as well as other cells. The

14:22 principles of transcription, splicing and translation the proteins. We looked at how

14:31 organelles such as rough and the plasma and others contribute to buy a synthesis

14:36 different audience uh in the cells and the micro race where we can track

14:45 in thousands of genes as a consequence let's say, a neurological disorder where

14:51 can compare tissue from normal brains and brains and tracking hundreds or thousands of

14:58 that you know because it's supposed genomic that you synthesize DNA to match the

15:03 genes to track the changes in these race. Review these organelles which are

15:10 basic smooth er Golgi apparatus and their mitochondria which produces 80 P. And

15:16 brain uses a lot of a. . P. Http in the brain

15:20 not only the energy molecule is also neurotransmitter. The concept of dynamic or

15:27 mosaic model of the fossil olympic, the plasma membrane of neurons that have

15:33 proteins and cholesterol and lipoproteins associated with and receptor and channel proteins of transport

15:42 . And this movement of proteins through membrane is constant. Then it can

15:48 very fast and the overall shape of plasma membrane and the shape of those

15:54 The synapses has supported by the underlying . A skeletal uh elements such as

16:02 tubules are filaments of micro filaments. filaments are the smallest ones. These

16:06 the micro tubular highways that are very and transport external transport. You can

16:12 the myelin sheath surrounding the axon to external transport and finally that you have

16:19 expression of these active molecules shown here blue is the smallest elements that can

16:26 longer change. Prelim arise or d arise and shorter chains and stack themselves

16:31 at the outer edges, providing for outer shape of the plasma membrane.

16:38 you can see the turbulence which belongs micro tubules. The turbulent molecules are

16:45 closer with the nucleus of the After we discussed the state of skeletal

16:54 amounts to introduce the fact that during course, we will be discussing several

17:01 disorders and we talked about Alzheimer's So this is a reminder of the

17:08 plaques nor particularly tangles that form inside these neural february tangles form that actually

17:14 wrap up neurofibromatosis, tangle them up off the side of skeletal elements,

17:21 up the micro tubular highways and preventing transport within the south. This is

17:26 pathology and pathological law marks of Alzheimer's . Extra cellular beta amyloid or senile

17:33 , intracellular early Euro formula early And if you look at the growth

17:38 changes in severe Alzheimer's disease, you an atrophy and neuro degeneration of large

17:45 of the brain and strength image of brain compared to the healthy brains.

17:50 is the pathology of the disease. we also discussed the symptomology of this

17:56 . So please remind yourself some of things that we mentioned in relation to

18:01 disease. In addition to the pathological shown here. Okay, so make

18:07 you keep track off the nose for neurological disorders and you review them and

18:15 then started discussing some other elements of the acts on the mitochondria, lot

18:21 energy needed for synaptic vesicles release into synaptic cleft and the post synaptic densities

18:27 will contain austin optic receptors and ectoplasmic . Again, it's very important that

18:35 only the neural transmission and the action travel down the accidents, but there's

18:39 the supply of nutrients and goods and . Great transport bike in essen,

18:45 transport, buying, dining and delivering elements from this moment through the accents

18:49 other distal parts off the cell. also can use uh injections and tracers

18:57 order to trace where certain axons project also trace the transport through these axons

19:04 so retrograde transport, tracers, horseradish is and if you injected it will

19:11 picked up. Retro gravely transported into some of the South. Retrograde transport

19:16 also viruses are capable of retrograde travel as herpes and rabies viruses. And

19:23 we entered into this very interesting anatomical . Were reviewing neurons and dendrites and

19:29 good explains the good experience containing polarized complexes in ADP making them biochemically somewhat

19:37 but in good experiences where the synapses formed and that could explain anatomy changes

19:44 that could explain anatomy can cause a retardation. And we discussed another

19:49 fragile X syndrome and this is the hallmark of fragile X syndrome that we

19:56 is abnormal dendritic spine shape densities uh distribution along the dendrite. And that's

20:04 important because if you have this impaired , the neuron has to make a

20:10 to fire not to fire. And does so by integrating and calculating all

20:15 positive excited to imports all of the inhibitor inputs and deciding whether it's going

20:20 produce an action potential. So if have impairment and the synapses of course

20:26 cell integration and the functioning of the is going to be impaired as

20:31 Structure means function and impaired structure means function. These are the four functional

20:38 of the south. We discuss how can classify neurons based on their

20:44 uni polar bipolar, pseudo uni polar is our dorsal root ganglion cell.

20:50 . And this is a multipolar The motor neurons in the spinal cord

20:54 multipolar and most of the cells and cerebral cortex in other parts of the

21:00 a multipolar as well. But we distinguish cells based on connectivity. Excitability

21:07 with specific markers that finally the firing of the actual potentials. We discussed

21:14 diversity and this exemplary circuit, the circuit. The diversity in the south

21:21 comes from the diversity of the inhibitory and these inhibitory cells they live in

21:26 layers. They have their dendritic anatomy specific. And these yellow cops is

21:31 these inhibitory cells will target the excitatory which are pretty much one subtype of

21:36 cell except the one that called into positive and the other one is

21:40 These excited ourselves are the projection cells they'll communicate information out of the

21:46 And these inhibitory cells will then produce complex interactions with these excitatory cells.

21:52 the cielo cops are the synapses will either on the soma or the optical

21:57 writes of the excited to prominence, influencing what output what information excited tourists

22:03 going to put into the adjacent So in order for us to define

22:07 various specific cells. Sometimes we have use electrophysiology. We have to patch

22:11 cells and record the signatures. The signatures of the action potentials are called

22:18 and we have to fill and we the morphology of the cells completely with

22:23 diet and further we have to look specific markers they stain for. Some

22:29 the cells that look identical like two four look identical in identical regions they

22:36 . There is similarly but one of will be provided with positive and another

22:39 will be CCK positive. And so definition distinction between the cellular sometimes comes

22:47 you doing another step which is you use the chemistry and defining these cellular

22:52 . We call the dialect and the of the different neurons. And that

22:59 means different way of processing information. that diversity also is because you have

23:06 diverse set of inhibitory into neurons that this dialect and influence activity on the

23:12 circuit level and excitatory cells influence excited to any activity that will get

23:20 out of these serpents into the other circus. This is a fun setup

23:25 I showed you for electrophysiology and we moved into glia understanding glial functions recall

23:38 you have a folder supporting materials folder you can find a lot of links

23:43 it will lead you to microbe leo and radio glial cells. And we

23:49 their functions. We talked about my PMS by Schwann cell C.

23:54 S. Buy legal dangerous sites and difference and the properties and differences in

24:01 Violin Nation and violent segment properties in PNS versus cns. Um We also

24:11 that if you have impaired Myelin Nation you will have a myelin dysfunctions and

24:18 these mile and dysfunctions stem from myelin proteins a lot of times and compaction

24:26 these uh properties of the myelin. we discussed Charcot Marie tooth and multiple

24:34 . So remember the features of multiple . Okay. The tremors,

24:41 mrs symptomology and then the pathology is elimination. It's an autoimmune disorder.

24:48 sclerosis. So the body starts attacking own violence. It expresses itself as

24:57 , convulsions, pain but also affecting state, dim illumination and CNN's chocolate

25:06 . The symptomology is this impaired gait deformity is swaying while walking. The

25:13 again. Is that dim illumination. in this case is the PMS of

25:17 peripheral in the periphery. And it's to the duplication of too much of

25:23 peripheral protein. p. m. . And so review these two

25:30 The great summary of the ostracized is for synapse maintenance synaptic transmission as well

25:37 blood brain barrier. Micro glial This scavenger cleanup south. Really good

25:42 is myelin formation, violent segment formation a pen dermal cells separating the interstitial

25:49 from cerebrospinal fluid and potential acting as cells the blood brain barrier that we

25:58 that has uh interesting anatomy. And come back to this in just one

26:05 with a different slide. I will with the slide. Would do recall

26:09 you have a certain anatomy, die that are formed between endothelial cells or

26:14 vessel cells here? The blood and parasites and the astra site astra cleo

26:21 feed processes that surround this and controlling passes into the brain. And so

26:25 discussed this within uh context off. neuro drugs should pass the blood brain

26:31 easily that you can have impairment of brain barrier and it can either become

26:37 loose or Impenetrable to medications and the effects that you may have in the

26:44 because you're eating a lot of medications to treat a neurological condition could affect

26:51 the periphery. Other side effects or parts of the brain that you're not

26:55 because of the limited amount of drugs may be getting through the blood brain

26:59 . And this is something very Very important. And also an obstacle

27:04 developing Euro pharmacological drugs. All And then we moved into the neuronal

27:17 at rust or resting membrane potential separation charge minus 65 million molds. Please

27:27 the circuit. You have the dorsal dorsal root ganglion cells that pick up

27:33 . This is our knee jerk reflex we said that you have to have

27:37 on dorsal root ganglion cell. What of salad in studio unit polar?

27:42 kind of a neurotransmitter release is excited glue domain? Well then it will

27:47 motor neurons. Motor neuron. What of solid is anatomically multipolar? Excitatory

27:53 , what kind of neurotransmitter it will on the muscle. Acetylcholine. Acetylcholine

27:57 only excited turn the muscles but it also contact these door solder ganglion cells

28:03 can contact inhibitory into neurons. These internals with kind of south side a

28:09 anatomically neurotransmitter that releases glazing as an neurotransmitter which will inhibit their motor

28:16 And so ideally in this reflex a unique uh unique mono synaptic response

28:25 cause a contraction of the quadriceps. through this into your injunction, you're

28:30 assuring that the opposing action muscle and hamstring the flexor muscle gets relaxed.

28:36 review these cells. Review these The most important elements are sodium potassium

28:43 calcium. These are individual channels for one of these ions are selective ion

28:50 that there is a differential expression of ions. There is an equal distribution

28:57 ions across plasma membrane that in order this uh ions to pass through the

29:07 member. And they have to pass the protein channels that these protein channels

29:13 built as from building blocks they built amino acids are strung together, sheeted

29:25 beta sheet or twisted into alpha Is the secondary tertiary structures of multiple

29:34 helix is forming a subunit ordinary structure subunits coming together? Multiple subunits forming

29:42 or a protein channel in the plasma . And so these protein channels are

29:49 to ions and there's an ionic selectivity an interaction with amino acid residues here

29:58 then we moved onto the arms log they are. And the relevant scales

30:03 us as millet balls, million pairs PICO amperes, megaphones and resistance and

30:11 simmons and nano simmons for conductive. are all relevant scales for the

30:16 On us. We discussed the fusion the concentration gradient. We also discussed

30:29 electrical potential and the movement of positive violence in the direction of the

30:37 the current movement. And the equilibrium , which if you recall, the

30:45 potential is where the chemical driving force is trying to drive the concentration of

30:51 across this channel to the other And the build up of positive charge

30:56 on the other side before potassium equalizes concentration, the positive charge starts repelling

31:05 and at this 0.2 forces the chemical and the repellant force. Electrical force

31:11 equal and opposite to each other. is no net flow of ions which

31:15 referred to as equilibrium potential for this ion or any other ion. There's

31:21 equilibrium potential or reversal potential. It's them to change the same goes for

31:27 sodium. So to calculate equilibrium we use nursed equation and we plug

31:35 the either the million dollar values. that there's a lot of sodium chloride

31:40 the outside of the cell. There's lot of potassium on the inside of

31:44 cell and the highest disparity and concentration exists for calcium. There's 10,000 times

31:51 calcium on the outside of the cell the inside of the cell. And

31:55 each one of these ions has an potential. And that equilibrium potential is

32:01 using nursed equation. E. Ion potential for island 2.303. Our gas

32:09 T. Absolute temperature. Z. of the I. M.

32:12 Faraday constant log base 10 of ion on the outside versus iron concentration

32:20 And these individual calculations you're responsible for the values for these individual reversals that

32:29 from the action potential. Drawing that will talk in a second but you

32:33 be able to recognize an artist equation is the correct um reversal potential value

32:43 potassium for sodium um Chloride and these four main islands. And this

32:54 the potassium reversal potential value. If calculate plug in the values years -80

33:00 balls. And we talked about the between learns the equation of Goldman equation

33:05 learns the equation based on the constant concentrations and the formula TCF will allow

33:14 to calculate equilibrium potential forgiven iron. want to know where the number of

33:19 is number of potential and Goldman equation premier ability variable here And incorporates more

33:29 just one eye on so we can overall member and potential of VM by

33:35 our TCF but now incorporating not only potassium but also sodium and their relative

33:43 ratios. And so this shows that the trust is 40 times more permeable

33:47 sodium 40 P. K. Process . N. A. Which stands

33:52 permeability one this is a resting membrane . So VM addressed is a combination

34:00 have nursed equation and that permeability ratios concentrations for sodium and potassium. So

34:09 is comparing again uh equilibrium for each or reversal potential in D.

34:16 Which is the overall member and potential by Goldman equation. The changes in

34:24 permeability or concentrations of ions on the and the inside. If you change

34:30 concentrations or permeability you will see that can change the number of potential

34:35 So we discuss that if you raise concentration of potassium which is typically between

34:42 million moller in this range. If raise it, if you just double

34:46 to about seven or 10 you can polarize the cell and change the overall

34:52 in potential to minus 60 minus And so it's very important that when

34:57 local concentrations of these ions increase that astrocytes in this case are capable of

35:08 up uh these uh increases in local of islands and redistributing it through its

35:17 processes and through the interconnected astro acidic it's called potassium spatial buffering. So

35:24 is another function of astra site in the abnormally increased concentrations and ions locally

35:34 as you can see increase in this concentration can de polarize the south of

35:40 threshold of action potential and generate firing that self. We wanted to know

35:48 the potassium channel function and I referred you a story about roderick Mackinnon.

35:56 talked about it and several techniques that used side directed me to genesis and

36:02 potassium channel uh in order to solve structure of this channel and it's very

36:10 . We saw the structure of this . You can do experiments and flies

36:13 there is conserved amino acid sequences and important parts of the channel of the

36:18 dimensional structure that was eventually solved by Mackinnon visualize. Not just solved if

36:26 know the immune acid sequences, if know they're concerned immuno acid sequences that

36:31 could postulate a lot of information you from simple, simple organisms like flies

36:37 studies that you do with flies two it to the human brains and roderick

36:45 stories, inspiration also. Please recall or review it or look him

36:50 A very interesting, fascinating person, potential occupied pretty much the rest of

37:00 time. And but before we moved an action potential, we actually reviewed

37:09 membrane equivalent circuits. So know what a resistant conductor. What's the

37:16 No, it's a capacitor. The symbols but you need to know resistors

37:21 referred to as conduct a lot of for channels that open and close or

37:26 open and close it's a variable conductor resistor. And this concept of the

37:33 force which we've reviewed later and I'll back to now recall that the membrane

37:41 R. C. Properties which is capacity resistant and capacity of properties.

37:47 the smaller the cell to hire the and the larger the south area is

37:55 larger the capacities because remember the good is the one that has a lot

37:59 surface there and can store a lot charge. The two plates are located

38:03 to each other, it can charge and discharge of the fast fashion.

38:06 we've discussed these curves here R. . So it takes time to charge

38:12 the plasma membrane several milliseconds. And is electronics that produces the current injection

38:19 the south. So this is how member in response by having these resistance

38:23 of properties. This is ivy plots I'll post another thing about ivy plots

38:30 you can review. There's an exam in the ivy plots we already

38:34 So you can watch a previous lecture on how to answer that exam

38:40 This is number of equivalent surface now incorporating the capacitor, a symbol for

38:46 capacity incorporating the active and it gave as well as active flow of current

38:52 the plasma membrane and the rules for ability change. So if a interesting

39:01 and potential you can see that potassium the most permissible. The permeability of

39:07 is the greatest that during the action the premier ability switches and it becomes

39:13 greatest sodium. And just by changing premier ability there you will hear the

39:20 value for either potassium or sodium. can see that there's going to be

39:24 pretty great change in the overall number potential value. So with this we

39:31 finished resting membrane potential in the equivalent and then we moved into the action

39:41 and we talked about voltage clamp. voltage clamp is a technique that will

39:45 us to clamp a potential at a holding or experimental value. And if

39:51 recall voltage clamp was very important for and Huxley that used it. Voltage

39:56 is very important. So you can the potential at different holding potential levels

40:02 you will see an early inward current is followed by our board card to

40:08 the properties of this inward current which sodium, It's transient versus outward current

40:13 is potassium and it's sustained the reversal for sodium happens here and you can

40:19 that the sodium current which is inward it's negative current value by definition by

40:27 , you can see that at this when the membrane gets past the equilibrium

40:32 for sodium that inward current is no there. It actually reverses of this

40:37 bump as a sodium conducting awkwardly followed a potassium awkward card. So Hodgkin

40:44 Huxley using voltage clamp were able to individual sodium and potassium currents and understand

40:50 kinetics of these currents, sodium being early inward car and potassium influx of

40:57 and potassium being the uh late Albert when you have the flux of potassium

41:02 this uh either the sodium or potassium during the action potential is a reflection

41:10 many different sodium channels opening quickly in and many different potassium channels opening slowly

41:19 having this prolonged sustained opening during the polarization, sodium channel anatomy recall that

41:28 has four sub units six trans membrane . S four has a voltage

41:33 voltage sensor will slide will react to changes off the charge across plasma membrane

41:40 the poor loop and a poor loop be the selectivity felt that it's located

41:45 these channels. And so these So we discussed our specific so sodium

41:52 specific to sodium and sodium channel has gates and that you need deep polarization

41:57 the confirmation will change along this vaulted and the protean channel structure in order

42:03 open the channel gates and the sodium us to gaze that has activation

42:11 And so with initial deep polarization it be fast opening up this gate.

42:16 with prolonged deep polarization. This gate immediately close because as the voltage sensor

42:22 up the second gate which is the gate will close and now the neuron

42:29 inactivated. I mean this channel isn't . And in order for you to

42:34 activated or removing activation gate, you have to hyper polarized when you hyper

42:41 that voltage, sorry, when you polarized voltage sensor is going to slide

42:46 down into its position and caused the of the gates. So one

42:52 open and activated, de inactivated and enclosed. Mhm. And then it's

43:01 , it goes back to open. this is the reason why during the

43:06 of the action potential the membrane doesn't reach the membrane potential value doesn't reach

43:15 equilibrium potential for sodium. So we the action potential dynamics and because as

43:23 time restraints, I cannot go and this entire thing all over again.

43:29 would refer for you to go to previous lecture when I talk about action

43:35 . Some to use this map and show you how the driving force changes

43:42 potassium and how the driving force changes sodium. And so follow these diagrams

43:50 your values for resting membrane potential action threshold. Now that it's all or

43:56 event, remember that initial deep polarization cause influx of sodium and it goes

44:02 the positive feedback loop because there's a driving force for sodium to reach its

44:07 potential, it doesn't reach, it reach the equilibrium potential for sodium at

44:15 peak of the actual potential sodium because driving force reduces And because you have

44:23 of sodium channels that I've just But in the big at this speak

44:29 the action potential as you can the driving force for potassium is now

44:35 . The difference between member and potential value and equilibrium potential for potassium potassium

44:41 happens. And as potassium is the in trying to reach the Colombian potential

44:47 potassium and it doesn't quite get there you have now the pumps that are

44:53 in to re polarize the plasma membrane to re polarize it back to resting

44:59 potential. This is an all or event that has an absolute refractory period

45:04 relative refractory period. So the driving and the kinetics of this channel is

45:10 influences for this channel too close and reached equilibrium potential. We can record

45:16 activity using patch clamp techniques and that are different whole cell patch clamp

45:22 There's a cell attached recording a wholesale which is cycle plasmas continues inside out

45:28 which exposes the cytoplasmic domain of the for experimental studies or outside out recording

45:35 exposes the extra cellular domain accessible to manipulation and recordings. Then we watch

45:43 and discuss tetrodotoxin. So the function tetrodotoxin. This that Toshiba Narahashi discovered

45:50 and then use the voltage clamp etcetera to definitely prove that it blocks volt

45:57 sodium channel and blocks action potentials by sodium channels but it doesn't affect the

46:04 artwork card and that there are different or antagonists, things that block substances

46:11 block such as chemicals or toxins that discussed with roderick Mackinnon case that you

46:17 these substances that will be specific to outward potassium cards here. Yeah.

46:25 that you have these toxins that come different buffer fish. News, frogs

46:32 . Shellfish are formed by microorganisms by . They're found in nature. And

46:40 discussed I. V. Curves. said that there are linear I.

46:45 . Curves in this case it's a D. Curve. And with that

46:49 . And that lecture we reviewed the from the exam asking you what is

46:54 the the curve here for potassium for . So go refer you to go

46:59 to that specific point in the previous . Also know that certain curves are

47:06 . That means that certain channels in case it's outward rectifying, which means

47:11 it prefers to conduct current outwardly. that downward current is inward in this

47:20 . M. Versus I. This ivy plot again. So anything down

47:25 this direction here is an inward current car moving in and this is an

47:32 car. This is a linear on curve I. D. Current and

47:36 can see that this one is bent it's bent in favor of the outward

47:41 in this direction which means it's outwardly it. It was bent in the

47:46 direction. It would be inwardly This is actually one of the possible

47:51 questions, we talked about how sodium also have a different binding site for

47:58 , which is a local anesthetic. then in order to study channel dynamics

48:02 lot of times you have to go bigger systems such as boots size and

48:06 express these channels In order to know function. And then you can go

48:11 more precise smaller systems in the brain neurons that are much much smaller,

48:16 micrometers, not one millim in understanding precise function of these channels that you've

48:22 over expressed on some other activity and systems. You can go back to

48:27 , more sensitive systems. Finally finished talking about the fact that Ramona alcohol

48:33 that axons will produce these signals and send them in one direction. And

48:39 was our understanding inputs come into sell integrates information and sends that information

48:45 down the axon where neural transmission But what we've discovered is that there's

48:49 second back propagating action potential. So forward actual potential is produced by low

48:57 sodium channels. Any of these stands voltage gated sodium channel 1.6 A small

49:04 polarization is enough to allow the opening the sodium channel influx of sodium.

49:09 generation of action potential which will forward down the axon in this direction and

49:17 this action potential is produced and you an incoming deep polarization. You have

49:23 summation of the positive incoming deep polarization positive charge build up here which is

49:28 strong enough to open high threshold multi sodium channels and 81.2 and generate another

49:36 smallest part of activity in the form back propagating action potential. That back

49:42 actual potential is very important to reach the gun rights to inform the damn

49:47 that they're active that the cell is to this input and that can influence

49:52 plasticity and the communications strength between these . Right. This was the last

49:59 and back propagation. And you have material in your review folders uh that

50:07 can open to review the specific description back property back propagating action potential.

50:13 back propagating action potential is very important it makes these inputs meaningful to the

50:20 that are contacting these synapses. It strengthen the synapses, make them more

50:26 , make them stronger because the cell be responding. And the closer in

50:30 this input coming in and the output generating the actual potential. The more

50:36 the connection and the stronger the connection become between these cells. So by

50:40 virtue you have forward action potential going Exxon initial segments external terminal for neural

50:47 for the next section of this course that that propaganda action potential which informs

50:52 soma and the dendrites and natural plasticity rearrangement of the communication onto this cell

50:59 it is receiving the incoming. Be than happy to take any questions,

51:05 you for your
