00:01 There are science lecture 10. We're talk about neural transmission. The neurotransmitter

00:08 . So for neural transmission we learn discovery of acetylcholine by Arnaud louis and

00:14 neuromuscular junction stimulation of the vagus The cardiac muscle which slows down the

00:23 trade. Electrical synopsis were also discovered we discussed electrical synopsis. These gap

00:32 that are comprised of connections pass a of the passage of islands of small

00:38 between the cells are quite specialized and have specialist functions and just allowing cells

00:44 synchronize and they're very fast manner across ourselves. And then for the synaptic

00:56 we talked about various types of synopsis dendritic access, somatic, excellent sonic

01:05 even Dunder Hendrix announces that exist and of the anatomical features union observe and

01:13 to confirm whether the synapse you're looking is excited to our inhibitory based on

01:22 physical shape and also the symmetry symmetry the pre synaptic active reserves of

01:31 attic densities. Okay, and for to understand your transmission in the neural

01:41 , it's actually quite easy by reminding about neural transmission of the neuromuscular junction

01:49 the reason for it is a couple things that are happening at the neuromuscular

01:54 that make this a simple synapse relatively and also lays the foundation for a

02:05 Colleen and acetylcholine neurotransmitter system which is complicated in the C. N.

02:12 . In the brain such as in cortex. So as we know the

02:18 neurons in the motor neurons send their their axons into the periphery onto the

02:28 cells. This is the motor output that comes through the ventral side of

02:33 spinal cord and the Axiron that comes from the motor neurons. It has

02:44 large pre synaptic axonal terminals. Axon splits and we call this ratifies there's

02:54 of this accidental endings throughout the muscle . But each one of these

03:02 what are called motor and plates because the template of the motor neuron are

03:11 large, a very effective And they 1-1 fidelity, meaning that an action

03:22 in a pre synaptic external motor template in this external terminal will always result

03:35 the busting up the contraction of the . It's a reactivation of a single

03:43 . 1212 muscle cell, the neurotransmitter the action potential which reaches the external

03:52 here. Would you have attacked of are these vesicles that are stacked with

03:59 ? There's a synaptic cleft that separates motor neuron from the muscle cell and

04:06 inside the muscle cell. You have very interesting folds that are called junction

04:14 falls that allow for the deep imaginations imaginations toward the muscle. So these

04:28 all falls will contain high densities of receptors and when there is a release

04:37 the neurotransmitter, acetylcholine receptors will produce ant play potential. It's a synaptic

04:47 At the level of the neuromuscular junction of one synapse Will produce a change

04:55 the am playing potential of about 17 balls. That means that this very

05:04 deep polarization by one synapse is going be enough to cause a contraction in

05:09 twitch of a muscle recall. What's threshold for action potential generation? If

05:18 go to the slide that we reviewed , this is a neuronal action

05:24 This is not the employee's potential. neuronal action potential and a single synapse

05:32 it gets activated, one excited there's means Half a million volta, one

05:39 of all deep polarization for the So when we talked about, what

05:45 it take for the resting member and to reach the threshold for action

05:51 we said it takes a lot of to synapses. Why a lot.

05:55 of all they're located distilling on the drives. Second of all inhibit their

06:01 may be activated at the same time that will cause hyper polarization.

06:07 one excited, there's synapse equals approximately a million volt in deep polarization.

06:14 you can do the math of how synapses you have to activate. If

06:18 resting membrane potential is about negative 65 involves And the threshold for action potential

06:26 is -4500 revolts. It's a 20 of all difference once synapses, half

06:33 ball. That means you need at 40 excitatory synapses to be active without

06:40 from the inhibitory synapses to be active order to reach this value here in

06:47 number of potential. The threshold value action potentials to generate the action

06:54 What I have just mentioned to you neuromuscular junction. Is that a single

07:00 here will cause an end play potential deep polarization? Not in half a

07:07 evolve like you will have in the , In the CNN. But in

07:12 muscle it's a deep polarization of 70 balls. Your thought processing may

07:20 But if your motor output is this is obviously indicative of some sort

07:27 a pathology developing. If you're telling arm to move and grab a microphone

07:34 you have to tell it five times convince it for two minutes to move

07:39 then you can barely move it. a problem. Everything we want to

07:45 . It's done. It's 1-1 fidelity there's large depressurization that happens here.

07:52 what happens in in these junction of is the following thing is you would

08:03 uh let's see where is the Yeah. Something is frozen. Okay

08:18 . So a single synods here will an and play potential. That's this

08:28 . Okay, so this red is and flight potential that I'm showing you

08:35 it is compared to the size of action potential. What does that

08:40 That means that the muscle will produce massive deep polarization which is sufficient enough

08:48 produce a cardiac action potential which is longer in duration and has a different

08:57 . We won't be spending much time the ions involved. But you need

09:03 have voltage gated sodium channels d polarized produce the cardiac action potential.

09:14 so here's a here's a thing. receptors, a single Colin will bind

09:34 them in the cardiac muscle. We a type of receptor that slowed down

09:41 contraction of the muscle. It's almost type of receptor in the neuromuscular

09:49 The only subtype the cereal company and , the only subtype of this receptor

09:58 nicotine nick and it is excitatory. , a ch binding to a ch

10:14 causes employee potential. This massive deep . This deep polarization opens both educated

10:42 channels. Plus what other channels, other ions are important for muscle

10:52 would you have to make sure you enough of for muscle contraction household but

11:04 not going to address the loan dynamics for the fact that you have to

11:08 that the muscles but it's a cardiac or skeletal muscle produced action for town

11:15 are much longer in duration. Gasol the CNS. Now, why?

11:21 is a simple scenarios because it only nicotine acetylcholine receptor, it's only excited

11:27 me, there's no inhibition of neuromuscular . So if there is a deep

11:36 , if there is a deep there's always these acetylcholine receptors are strategically

11:42 the closest to the active zones. optically and then there's activation and massive

11:49 potential and down below in these grooves probably drive there was going to be

11:58 densities of voltage gated sodium channels and gated sodium channels will get opened by

12:08 ? What is gaining voltage gated sodium , voltage. What is opening acetylcholine

12:20 ? Why is there deep polarization? it's a receptor channel? Okay,

12:27 a single combing molecules that will get will bind to settle Colin receptors that

12:33 also channels. And as you acetylcholine receptor channels are permissible to both

12:42 and potassium Hiles. And this is synaptic potential. This is the synaptic

12:51 but we call it and play potential it's not the sin absolutely into

12:55 It's the end plate with the So it's the and play potential acetyl

13:00 and the opening of these receptors and polarization flux of sodium through these ligand

13:07 channels seal Colin recep their channels are by login. That means that the

13:14 to open that channel is eligon is molecule. It's a Maciel Colin

13:19 it's a molecule. But once these are active, receptor channels are active

13:25 you have an unplayed potential. Now voltage is the key to the below

13:31 voltage gated sodium channels, an opening those channels will initiate the action potential

13:38 the opening of voltage gated calcium channels then subsequently polarization. So as opposed

13:46 the cns synopsis. This is a highly functional effective high fidelity synapse 1

13:54 1. So remember these terms. I will put a slide and maybe

14:00 make a little better drawing without slide describing that. Now in general,

14:08 we have is we have the whole system. It's not just neurotransmitters and

14:14 is a subtle kobane and it has acetylcholine receptor. Macedo Colin also has

14:23 any casino call intercept in the cardiac but in the CMS it actually has

14:30 . There is a machinery that needs synthesize. The chemicals are neurotransmitters,

14:39 enzymes, right? Most of the , most of the things in nature

14:45 plants in your body cells, synthesizing making things. We have synaptic vesicles

14:55 so this molecules that are made, need to be placed within the vesicles

15:01 . That cell number is surrounded. al they have to be placed in

15:08 . So you have transporters on the of the vesicles that will transport and

15:14 up the vesicles for example, with , you agree update transporters once the

15:22 is released in the synoptic left, don't get wasted. They get re

15:29 taken back into the cell, they recycled back into the cell and the

15:34 get refilled again. But in these and in the south and also in

15:41 surrounding wheel cells a lot of You also have to have degradation enzymes

15:50 the cells. You have synthesis going once the neurotransmitters are released. They

15:55 hang on the synaptic cleft they either re have taken back or they get

16:02 broken down what on the boston optic , the transmitter gated ion channels.

16:08 when we're talking about synaptic or chemical we're talking about Lagan or transmitter gated

16:16 channels because they are allowing for the of the ions and the flux of

16:22 will change the number of potential causing post synaptic potential. There are also

16:30 protein coupled receptors which are not ion and binding of neurotransmitters. So chemical

16:39 the jeopardy in couple of receptors will into cellular secondary messenger cascades without opening

16:47 channel crossing the ions through the actual protein coupled receptors. So they're g

16:57 gated ion channels. Because those channels the cells have their own ju protean

17:04 to the number that can get The subunits of that protein can get

17:10 in effect other receptors or ion So there's ion channel gating and directly

17:20 G protein coupled receptors in the cells most often g protein coupled receptors also

17:27 secondary messenger cascades. We should slow that can then influence phosphor relation.

17:37 falls for relation calcium release communication between other different things that many different molecules

17:49 the neurotransmitter criteria for it to be neurotransmitters has to be synthesized and found

17:56 the neuron. If you stimulate a that neurotransmitter needs to be released.

18:02 the chemical released it must act in past synaptic receptor and cause a biological

18:10 the effect on the person attic side dependent on the receptor it has.

18:14 your cardiac muscle, your receptor is civil Colin receptor. If you are

18:24 muscle you have nicotine in which is acetylcholine receptor, the response is very

18:32 , slowing down the heart rate versus up the contraction. The molecule is

18:37 same. Acetylcholine receptors are different and response is different after chemical is

18:44 There's a machinery that it must be . Either it's really taken back into

18:50 cell or it is broken down If chemical is isolated just like you know

18:55 we did with a single Colin but of being applied to the heart from

19:00 vagus nerve but it's isolated from a and applied onto another neuron that other

19:05 should also have a response to. . Just some of the classical things

19:11 this response to chemical but not too called neurotransmitter mimicry or synoptic military because

19:20 mimicking being a synapse, you're mimicking excited to glutamate synapse. Instead you're

19:25 squirting glutamate on another neuron just like the low we did on the

19:33 These are some of the defining features mirror transmitter systems. We have major

19:41 that we already learned about amino acids the most abundant and probably the subject

19:50 the most studying the scores, particularly . She's an excited to amino acid

20:00 but also gaba which is gamma immuno acid is a major inhibitory neurotransmitter.

20:06 the cNS glisten we learned in the cord into neurons. It's an inhibitory

20:16 in CNN's you will learn that glycerin actually a co factor in facilitating excitatory

20:23 dramaturgical neural transmission for glutamate synaptic You will be learning quite a bit

20:32 a set of Colleen. She already in the last couple of lectures a

20:37 bit about dopamine epinephrine, histamine norepinephrine which is becoming one of mine

20:47 More interesting molecules but I'm starting to about more and more all of these

20:54 a means and they are different but also very very prevalent, not as

21:09 excitatory neurotransmitters and their actions are all depending not only on the molecule,

21:16 have different actions on different cells but in the receptor which they are

21:22 You also have Captain dies call this the kind of morphine and careful in

21:30 but that was about the status of at an M. B.

21:32 P. Do you have to know of these? No you don't but

21:36 gonna have to know some of the that we stress some highlights as as

21:41 talk about neural transmission. Uh Let me um because this for a

21:56 . So now we're back with the and basically in addition to amino acids

22:03 means and tap tides. There's some traditional neurotransmitters such as gases and that

22:16 mattress oxide and carbon monoxide. so okay. Always make this

22:32 You can have a brain fart because have gas in your brain. Too

22:40 gas. Just say too much about of the gas is not just talk

22:45 carbon monoxide. Now that's that's really because we're talking about substances like gaba

22:52 , acetylcholine, the stored in neurotransmitter and these gases, they're not starting

23:01 vesicles and there are also a number soluble so that means that the traverse

23:09 plasma membranes. Okay. The other molecules that I like to talk about

23:20 course is ATP but Dennis and triphosphate not only the powerhouse or the engine

23:32 , the fuel for the cells but also a neurotransmitter. And it combined

23:40 http receptors are demos in receptors. Dennis and triphosphate binds to denison

23:53 You know what else bonds to denison . You consume Most of you probably

24:01 of you consume every day. This substance that binds the dennison receptors and

24:08 gives you an upper boost. It's which is in coffee. T even

24:21 teeth. It's made with green tea . Okay, so ATP uh binds

24:32 denison receptors and uh there's a certain of a dentist and receptors a dennison

24:40 dennison receptors as well. It's naturally molecule which is uh usually your sleep

24:50 , it increases your sleep cycle and why caffeine has an opposite effect on

24:55 Denniston weeks, you wakes you Um so that's a teepee and we'll

25:02 back and mention a TP again and mention the dennison again. You understand

25:07 the cycle how it actually activates the caffeine looking humanoids. Mhm. To

25:26 G. And and and um I to our bodies produce natural cannabinoids called

25:37 cannabinoid molecules. There are also produced demand when there is stress when there

25:44 heightened levels of activity. And endocannabinoid just like gases are not stored in

25:51 vesicles and they're also lipid soluble. means that they will traverse, they

26:03 cross the plasma membranes, the fat and the cannabinoids to A G.

26:10 a silver visceral and anandamide are becoming interesting for many different applications, pharmaceutical

26:22 and many of these different molecules in mirror transmitter systems. You can think

26:27 these neurotransmitter systems as different moods. can think of these different neurotransmitter systems

26:36 different states and levels of activity asleep , stressed, relaxed, anxious,

26:47 anxious. Get anxious serotonin starts flooding brain trying to calm you down.

26:56 running for five km and you're smiling you think it's endorphins but it's

27:02 it's there's no endogenous morphine molecules but are endogenous cannabinoid molecules and then actually

27:09 a bliss and Sanskrit feeling of happiness happens naturally when you produce natural and

27:16 noise in your systems. So think these things as different states of

27:24 different moods, different processing functions in way and also different disorders that will

27:35 associated with dysfunctions in these neurotransmitter systems seal, Colleen. Alzheimer's disease,

27:45 Kleiman, Parkinson's disease, uh apple etc. Mhm. Serotonin

28:00 anxiety, food disorders. Uh That's really cool. And it's not

28:09 in the cns you have those molecules the periphery. So I told him

28:15 haven't cns and you have it in periphery and the cannabinoids added in the

28:20 and neurons and clear can you have ? Almost every cell in your

28:25 You have it in the bone marrow , glycerine all over the place to

28:32 different functions. Okay, so now have these what we call traditional amino

28:39 , neurotransmitters. Traditional means peptides and so traditional gases, lipid soluble molecules

28:48 as into cannabinoids and also the energy ATP, which has its own

28:54 And it's balancing with this a Dennis cycle which is the core molecule of

29:01 but donaldson, triphosphate, baptize and . So that was a previous question

29:10 the homework. And what you're seeing that there is a lot of neurotransmitter

29:16 that you'll discover that happens at the of the synapse when the neurotransmitter vesicles

29:22 with the synapse here with a membrane releases the neurotransmitter. The neurotransmitter gets

29:29 into the synaptic terminal. The vesicles reloaded in the synaptic terminal. So

29:35 the machinery is set up there for neurotransmitters, it's pretty much happening at

29:40 level of this synaptic terminal and for peptides is different peptides are not always

29:51 at high levels of neurons but they again are on demands of sort of

29:57 similar to under cannabinoids. There is heightened increased levels of activity, sustained

30:04 potential, firing a lot of neurotransmitter . That that died. You have

30:12 precursors, you have the processing through apparatus, you have the secretary Granules

30:20 encase them versus that that's the That in case the neurotransmitters and that

30:26 high levels of a Kennedy. It out that the peptides are non specific

30:32 those very specialist locations that the vesicles specific to the sin absence. And

30:38 could have the secretion of top guys along the axon, not at the

30:46 south. So it's a it's a a different, almost helped to save

30:54 non confined in a way, para and these networks Because it is not

31:02 that one specific neuron, that one synapse or 10,002 which you may be

31:07 . But right, it it's spreading neuro peptide is part of the other

31:14 that are usually slower functions. It involves activation of g protein coupled receptors

31:20 an applicant and secondary messenger cascades. right, so what are you learning

31:26 already? No transmission stops right Everything at the level of the synapse

31:31 peptides and the cannabinoids, you need lot of activity, that cycle is

31:39 . If that cycle affects ion person app quickly again it's fast.

31:43 if you're affecting g protein coupled receptors that is a slower, slower processing

31:50 for this analysis. So what are things required for the neurotransmitter to properly

31:56 and release its content? The vesicles and release its content. It requires

32:03 synaptic deep polarization. So we need potential. The action potential which is

32:11 at the accent initial segment. If recall two types of channels and maybe

32:16 point to an N. A. . 1.6 the low threshold channels generate

32:20 action potential that's forward propagating that action regenerates its each note of ranveer it

32:27 that the full amplitude external terminal. this is one of the prerequisites when

32:35 reaches the external terminal. What the potential does, it opens up both

32:39 calcium channel. So the pre synaptic deep polarization opens voltage gated calcium channels

32:48 calcium entry is required into the In order for these vesicles to fuse

32:53 the plasma membrane. No calcium, the secular release. So you can

33:02 polarize the cell all you want to you can take the calcium from extra

33:08 solution away or you can block these gated calcium channels and you will not

33:13 the secular release. But if you influx of calcium and calcium voltage gated

33:20 are concentrated at this pre synaptic terminals when the active zones of the pre

33:26 terminals where you have these pre synaptic complexes and these neurotransmitter vesicles, these

33:39 complexes of protein protein complexes. So vesicles protein complex, which is shown

33:45 and abbreviated and simplified to the snare vesicular snare has to interact with the

33:52 that are located on the membrane T . So trans membrane snares and for

33:59 to happen, you have to have command when calcium comes in. Then

34:04 protein program complex interaction can take place bring the two of us Philip it

34:11 layers close to each other and help and when they fuse, the vesicular

34:19 gets released into the synaptic cleft. on this vast cycle there's actually a

34:28 cut, there's a calcium sensing One of them is synaptic stagnant is

34:35 synaptic stagnant. And in reality this what the vesicles looks like. It

34:45 like a pretty hairy beast with a of different things attached to little different

34:52 glycoprotein, carbohydrate things hanging off around and once you have the fusion and

35:01 particular release that piece of the number is very valuable so you don't lose

35:07 bicycle, it gets pinched off here it gets recycled back into psychosis or

35:16 it toes back into the priest in terminal. This is really neat.

35:23 some electrical micrografx images visualizing neurotransmitter So now that you've learned about the

35:35 . It can start visualizing that for , these are presumed calcium channels which

35:40 pre synaptic. And when you when you stimulate, what happens is

35:47 see these craters opening up near the channels. So I want you to

35:52 attention for example to how dense these channels are here. And you can

35:56 these two very dense lines of calcium and obviously these two very dense lines

36:02 voltage gated calcium channels are surrounding the zones with the neurotransmitter vesicles are sitting

36:10 close ready to fuse and release because communication, once action potentials produced,

36:16 takes a matter of about 5 to milliseconds across the synapse, the fusion

36:23 release and the bar synaptic response. happens within 5 to 20 milliseconds depending

36:28 the synapses and the machinery that is in them. But these craters opening

36:33 is basically the bicycle using to the and opening up into you. What

36:40 looking in as you're looking into the of that medical, from outside of

36:45 cell. And the neurotransmitter is now out at you. You can see

36:54 have a large gap junctions. This an electron microscope graph showing the uh

37:02 large gap junctions where you have the coming together. So this is really

37:06 to visualize those things and from the it looks like this. You

37:11 you have the two numbers coming close and that's where you'll have the formation

37:15 the gap junctions. And this is of an aerial view of what it

37:20 like and a couple of interesting things that I want to discuss also is

37:30 of all, the number Rain has studied quite extensively and we're not going

37:35 go into the details of the member accept that you have the the face

37:41 the p phase of this plasma membrane it's a bi layer, so each

37:47 has its own name. And this shown here what is called priest

37:52 So in the early days when the that I believe this was in the

37:58 and sixties, they were trying to the composition of the plasma membrane and

38:02 were literally like trying to see is a way that we can take two

38:07 apart? And is there something that's with a cytoplasmic layer? Something that's

38:14 only with extra cellular layer? Or something is there? And both of

38:19 . How do we do it? do we look inside in two

38:23 And so in those days they devised technique that employed liquid nitrogen immediately freezing

38:33 cell as they were stimulating the south they just found larger cells in the

38:38 . They basically freeze them immediately instant moon. We have to play around

38:46 a lot of mechanics actually have to a little needle right next to that

38:52 piece of membrane or that frozen And it was a bit of like

38:58 science on the witchcraft. So people get together with the frozen membrane little

39:05 to walk around and just try to the table when we stop there like

39:12 to just barely vibrate the table. that needle point exactly in between the

39:19 layers it would basically open up the layers. It would it would it

39:24 spread it into the E. P. Face. So you can

39:28 the trans membrane proteins, you can certain proteins that are left in the

39:35 obviously where they're docked which face they're on. So that's that's that's pretty

39:43 . And then we also want to what's going on at the synopsis.

39:50 we can now actually visualize neurotransmitter vesicles . I don't have this image is

39:55 you. But there is a very technique that's called every for us and

40:00 that allows you to visualize individual neurotransmitter release for us of us for the

40:06 . But this image which was taken another book which is a great book

40:10 neuron to brain. And this research done by Rodolfo linas and dolph Alina's

40:19 one of the great south american neuroscientists worked very much concentrated on synaptic neural

40:27 and an understanding what is happening at core of the synaptic transmission. This

40:32 some of the older work and when was doing this research, this guy

40:40 incredible actually I think he's the first that took like an alligator head and

40:44 it to artificial serve of final fluid kept the whole alligator brain and had

40:49 life for like two days doing experiments it. And then um he just

40:56 saw him talk and he was just huge intellectual and a visionary. Somebody

41:03 you hear them talk it's like this is a visionary. They're not just

41:07 the data and reporting on stop, trying to tell everybody was going to

41:12 in the next 10 years or what's the next thing that should be done

41:16 in this or what's the obstacle that in the way of something done you

41:21 so and when he was doing this the dice came out that were specific

41:26 islands. So you learn a little about voltage sensitive guys we'll talk about

41:33 sensitive dies it is sensitive to voltage there are guys that is sensitive to

41:38 . What does it mean? They're twice. That means that if there

41:42 an increase of a given, I'll as sodium such as potassium such as

41:49 . You can visualize that change. this is different from the dies that

41:57 have so far discussed to date because all of the dies we've discussed were

42:08 . That means that they showed us anatomy Golgi stain the processes the initials

42:18 missile state learn there's a Weigert stay another state immunity is the chemistry we

42:26 about um you know as the chemistry talk about the music and it's the

42:29 today a little bit more. You , it's the chemistry antibodies they show

42:34 where things are, they don't show what is happening. Alright. This

42:42 of imaging is referred to as functional . So you have functional magnetic resonance

42:48 in the clinics and the hospitals. functional imaging because it's showing you the

42:54 the activity of the brain. Calcium imaging shows you the activity of calcium

43:01 the fluctuations of calcium and the And what this image illustrates is that

43:07 you use this die and you visualize synopsis that are silent. They're just

43:15 a little bit of input activity going . It's not a very active synapse

43:19 is c are these little mountain formations And each one of these mountain peaks

43:26 a yellow, the more yellow the red it is the higher concentration of

43:32 guidance. This really shows you what call calcium micro domains that are located

43:40 optically adjacent to these rows and voltage calcium channels. So now you're visualizing

43:51 calcium micro domains and you stimulate the and you can see the concentration and

43:58 blurring of these domains. This individual peaks becomes looks like one huge mountain

44:08 or mountains syria and it gets very . That means that calcium concentration goes

44:17 and this is a direct visualization of activity in salient or not. Such

44:23 synopsis and very active synopsis. The of peak of calcium Inside here was

44:31 up to 200 microphone. Okay, is really interesting because these are all

44:42 imaging techniques to even electron microscope. do you see the opening of the

44:48 ? It's not live. These preparations painstaking actually to isolate something. To

44:56 it on the slide that the process rapid and para phone stored in the

45:00 washing that come back the following You hope you have something so it's

45:07 live. So you take an image the cell before you stimulated or stimulate

45:13 and you see these nice rows of channels, You process that tissue and

45:18 2 3 days later you look at and then the day you're doing an

45:23 you also stimulates themselves or you take of the membrane after you stimulated the

45:30 and then hope two or three days you're gonna visualize this but it's not

45:34 line. And so the difference with calcium sensitive guys and ion sensitive guys

45:40 both of sensitive dies because the difference that they're tracking activity the functional they're

45:46 the function the changes in calcium the changes in sodium levels, the

45:51 in the member of potential levels and on. So for the neurotransmitter release

46:01 this is the reason why neurotransmitter release the synaptic transmission at the level of

46:10 in the cns is not as reliable neuromuscular junction is because you can also

46:16 partial neurotransmitter release. That happens that happens in neuromuscular junctions have the early

46:24 of stone. You know the budding of the vehicle that bicycle gets filled

46:29 neurotransmitter that versatile gets docked. So need a teepee and other factors to

46:38 those vesicles close to the active zones kind of keep pushing them closer to

46:44 dark side and then priming the meaning they're just you just need a little

46:49 of calcium and they're ready to fuse open up. That's when their prime

46:54 there's other vesicles that are floating around up there and the ones that are

46:59 close to the memory and the closest you right here calcium comes in boom

47:06 . There's no transmitter fusion, but can be sometimes partial. So that

47:13 a little bit of neurotransmitter leaks Maybe there wasn't enough of the calcium

47:20 . Maybe there wasn't enough counseling Okay, maybe it just happens that

47:29 have the fusion poor that is partial back around and goes into prime position

47:37 sometimes it can go back into this position. Dark position, back into

47:42 position sort of go through a different again because it hasn't gone through the

47:48 fusion and full release but it needs be touched up in order to go

47:53 to business. So this relationship was kiss and run. There's no deep

47:59 here, just a little kiss will of neurotransmitter gone. Uh huh.

48:06 there is sufficient enough deep polarization sufficient calcium activation of protein protein complex.

48:12 a fuel fusion formation of full fusion dilation of that for release of the

48:21 an end of psychosis which these green of Claritin molecules that will surround the

48:27 vesicles plasma membrane and will indicate that cell that this is marked for recycling

48:34 it can get now filled with high of H. Plus so you have

48:41 filling it causing a certification. And is certification. Will then drive neurotransmitter

48:48 of the vesicles, putting it back this position, docking, climbing and

48:54 it ready for release again. This the end acidosis cycle and sometimes it

48:59 to be rebuilt. So instead of just acidified and refilled, the neurotransmitter

49:06 may get sent back to the early of south and go through the whole

49:11 of rebirth at the level of thoroughly the south. Uh huh.

49:17 Uh So cns synapses versus neuromuscular So this full fusion release of one

49:25 , one synapse being active is equal half of Louisville. It's very small

49:31 neuromuscular junction, very large deep polarization the form of hand flake potential and

49:37 cns is called neurotransmitter of synaptic potentials very small excited harry potter synaptic potentials

49:45 from a single neuron single synapses on order of half a normal quantum

49:53 Mhm. There's certain quanta of neurotransmitters get released in these vesicles. What

50:02 the quanta Between 2000 and 4000 What do you mean between this

50:14 Quanta? Well it is a quanta there's a variation of nature and no

50:20 a code will contain exactly 2,987 chemical next to each other. They'll all

50:27 a slight variation With somewhere between 2000 4000 molecules. And if you talk

50:34 the Seattle Colleen and you go back about nicotine acetylcholine receptors and the neuromuscular

50:41 you need to acetylcholine molecules in order open one receptor mm We have 2000

50:50 to 4000 molecules. So how many can get activated? About 1000 to

50:57 receptors. So it's about 1000 or receptors in the muscle that caused the

51:04 middle of old employee potential. Now can almost say what one receptor channel

51:11 responsible for take 17 million balls divide 2000 and now you can actually say

51:19 activation of one receptor channel neuromuscular junction pretty powerful actually just one channel not

51:25 or not. So so quantum release so you have a certain package certain

51:32 that's back there, it's not going be 2000 and 20,000 is going to

51:37 22,002 and a half 1000 But it's going to be all over there.

51:47 20 and 20,000. So there is is there is a there's a cycle

51:54 re uptake and refilling and obviously there this kind of a interesting standard limit

52:04 packing things in. Mhm poisoning your release bacteria, spiders, snakes and

52:14 your books and it all right. a lot of stuff out there.

52:25 I have some things written down Australian bucks align them. You're invited

52:30 Botox party friday evening. Follow What it cost? 200 bucks the glass

52:42 rose a champagne, you go into med spa clinic and you are doing

52:58 . Why do people do Botox to young and beautiful again to the

53:06 younger and younger and younger itself. well imagine you could be younger for

53:12 not relevant, gets like 40s, , 60s and people pay so much

53:18 care for anything color. So in case why do people use Botox?

53:29 what is clostridium botulinum, anybody heard bunch of line um toxins. The

53:36 botulinum and botulism. So you have toxins that form for microorganisms and

53:47 Most of the things that are Again they're just like puffer fish that

53:51 the microorganisms that produce ctx And so have these bunch of line on toxins

54:00 form. There's different toxins. There's toxin that's mentioned here. Tetanus toxin

54:06 not tetrodotoxin. It's not the same . To throw the toxin justice.

54:13 toxin? We're talking about botulinum toxins . So botulism is a form of

54:18 you can form and fox is toxic intoxicating disease if you eat bad old

54:25 from camps, usually canned food that have some of the toxins leftover and

54:32 you quite sick. So uh why you use that for Botox parties?

54:41 that will make you sick and food you can isolate these molecules and you

54:45 apply them in a controlled manner and controlled manner. And their function is

54:51 botulinum toxins. But these Sharky's and are different subtypes of botulinum toxin B

54:57 E f g A N E C and this is our protein protein

55:03 Remember that the vesicles have the protein here and that the secure we call

55:08 the snare has to interact with the or t snare trans membrane protein

55:14 And this interaction is necessary calcium influx necessary and this interaction is necessary for

55:21 vesicles issues with the plasma membrane And these guys do these little sharky's.

55:27 don't let the protein protein complexes to with each other And by jumping up

55:35 here, these linkages between the physical the plasma membrane. They prevent the

55:42 release and in this case the Botox injections are usually done around the eyes

55:50 forehead chin because with the aging and movement of the muscles. You have

56:00 formation. It's just normal because your is stretching and shrinking and stretching

56:06 you're gaining weight, losing weight over . It's the muscles are moving.

56:11 forming wrinkles. And what the Botox do is they actually prevent the release

56:21 the Seattle Colleen and prevent the contraction the muscles. And in addition to

56:32 , people also typically used for beauty fillers, which fills up, it's

56:40 a toxin. In this case it's little like fluid, it's like filler

56:45 fills up around the lips and around eyes and makes you I think you

56:51 better more youthful for me. I find it really interesting how Almost always

57:01 about 10 ft away you can tell person that had a plastic surgery versus

57:06 person that didn't have a plastic surgery on their face, No other body

57:15 face. If you look at the you can tell there's because there's certain

57:21 and there's a certain I guess desired or something, you know, so

57:26 full perky lips, you know, like filled up around the eyes.

57:30 usually stretch face so that there's nothing stretch stretch to answer that there's nothing

57:38 . Um While it's a huge So Botox, you know, in

57:43 case it's being used for for beauty with Botox injections actually have a therapeutic

57:52 also approved. Anybody knows when FDA Botox approved for treating huh pain.

57:59 it sweaty hands. Is that learn something new every day but from

58:10 , this is great. But from disease perspective, it's for my grant

58:17 . So when you think about these that you're taking advantage of the

58:22 you're learning what the nature is controlling it. Now, you can

58:27 for beauty purposes. And so when people get injected with Botox and fillers

58:33 if you watch uh like the people on tv after these surgeries, they

58:41 barely talk like whatever the housewives stuff city without difficult on talking and looking

58:51 seeing because the literally muscles are not and moving the lips like it would

58:57 the single Colin is not being But now there is no wrinkles and

59:01 look fuller. So, beauty neurological treatment disorders neurological disorder treatment

59:08 So if anybody is interested to look why, why would there be,

59:13 know, Botox treatment for something like migraine? Yeah, there's other molecules

59:19 nature and they can affect different parts this pathway. The release of recycling

59:28 Black widow veteran, we'll take the Colin release. Black widow spiders.

59:35 actually prevalent in texas too, can deadly. And unfortunately I had one

59:40 my acquaintances, father who was gardening got bitten in the neck by a

59:46 widow Spider past three days later in hospital and it was pretty fast at

59:55 from the swelling from a bump into kind of a pussy thing and they

60:00 save him. So quite potent. why you need controlled environment and that's

60:06 little tiny things, you know, can kill you too. You

60:12 mosquitoes. God they carry all sorts stuff. Right? The viruses,

60:18 west Nile, you know like uh a Phil itis. Uh people get

60:28 from a mosquito bite because they get a flight is there's mosquitoes carrying,

60:33 sorry, ticks that carry encephalitis and a politic ticks. Mosquitoes carry

60:40 takes cancer politis very powerful little Taiwanese cobra has a substance called alpha

60:47 toxin and it affects the process synaptic of the civil code. And we

60:53 talked about personality because we concentrated the release today from the pre synaptic

61:00 Human synthesized organophosphates. You have human organophosphates that interfere with the Seattle cooling

61:11 . Actually said. Local industries inhibitors organophosphates which are used in agricultural purposes

61:22 quite often used for suicide purposes I just learned about that a few

61:27 ago and it's pretty scary but not nature, but humans also synthesize

61:33 Some of them are good. Some them are bad gonna false face can

61:39 gases such as sarin and soma Nerve they're called nerve gases if you heard

61:47 , you heard of 1990s attack and Subway in Japan nerve gases poisoning of

61:55 people. Okay. And then you weaponize other substances into gases. Uh

62:02 can weaponize fentaNYL into into gas. chechens have done it in Moscow.

62:11 about 15 years ago or so putting to sleep. So substances that are

62:20 there and we'll come back and talk these substances. You understand actually the

62:26 of actions of organophosphates because you understand silk protein synthesis degradation pathway. And

62:32 understand that these substances are also very to the most common Alzheimer's medications that

62:38 on the pharmaceutical market. So E E. P. S.

62:45 Is different from employee potential. What's talk about employee potential because that was

62:52 the neuromuscular junction and it was huge million bills and always caused a muscle

62:58 contract an E. P. P. Is not that an

63:01 P. S. Be activated A single synapse will cause this deep

63:06 about have a similar law. And you have an excited tourist synapse you

63:12 have glutamate release and glutamate will bind glutamate receptor glutamate gated channels and will

63:21 an influx of sodium which will cause deep polarization. That will also allow

63:26 the potassium to leave, which will the re polarization. So this is

63:30 excited to replace synaptic potential, abbreviated D PSP. And you can see

63:36 the duration of the synaptic potentials Is the order of 5 to 10 times

63:43 in duration than the action potential. , they are graded responses. Action

63:51 is all or non E. S. P. S. Are

63:55 if you activate just announces you get mole of all four synopsis to 2010

64:02 . It's greater action potential if you the threshold always drives it to the

64:09 potential for sodium. Idea species are paseana. If there is release of

64:20 or gamma amino butyric acid inhibiting or gabble will bind to channels that conduct

64:28 . So they're receptor channels. Gabba will open up chloride channels and influx

64:35 and I am chloride into the south cause this hyper polarization in the form

64:43 the inhibitory synaptic potential I PSP. so neurons are constantly receiving E.

64:52 . S. P. S. receiving inputs from excitatory synapses and generating

64:57 SPS inhibitory I. P. P. S. If they receive

65:02 of the excitation and excitatory synapses, E. P. S.

65:07 Will reach the threshold for action potential produce an action potential. So what

65:19 talking about is I am a tropic metabolic topic, neural transmission or direct

65:30 indirect neural transmission and acetylcholine synthesis and . But I think what I will

65:36 actually is I will end here and we come back on Wednesday will restart

65:42 talking about synthesis and degradation of a colleague. Uh huh. And then

65:50 into talking about the indirect and direct because there are two types that I

65:57 a tropic direct signaling receptor for gated and metabolic trophic indirect signaling G protein

66:06 receptors channels. G protein coupled receptors now channels. Okay so there's gonna

66:13 a lot of interesting information coming and malaria to from mosquitoes. Yes,

66:20 you for pointing that out, horrible cause massive headaches. Uh what is

66:28 that people take when when I went Nigeria, I took flora Quinn.

66:33 believe the substance uh that is sort preventative for malaria but there's also I

66:44 that quiNINE which is an tonic It has an anti malarial properties.

66:51 a stimulus substance. Glory Queen Queen blocks gap junctions actually. And so

66:59 chloroquine. And so this method of is an equivalent of chloroquine. So

67:03 another thing you guys got dresses one . I don't know about junctions,

67:07 junctions in the brain. So So uh what quiNINE is supposed to

67:14 when people go sometimes to some tropical where they have mosquitoes and malaria,

67:20 drink a lot of gin and It's an excuse I'm consuming quiNINE of

67:27 , you know, to stay safe malaria. Anyway, so this cheerful

67:32 . And today's lecture, I'll see on Wednesday. We'll have our quiz

67:37 week and I will tell you about more next Wednesday. This Wednesday.
