1 Barbara J. Limandri, DNSc, APRN, BC Linfield College Portland Dialectical Behavior Therapy Program At the conclusion of this workshop, the participant can: 1. Associate key regions of the brain with psychiatric symptomatology. 2. Relate the putative neurotransmitter/receptor mechanisms of common drugs used in mental health care. 3. Relate psychiatric symptoms with neurophysiologic mechanism of actions associated with common psychotropic medications. 4. Propose prescribing practice in selected case studies. Barbara J. Limandri, DNSc, APRN, BC 1

2 Mini lecture on neurophysiology Application in small group discussion Report of small group discussion Mini lecture on psychopharmacology Application in small group discussion Report of small group discussion Case presentations and large group response Barbara J. Limandri, DNSc, APRN, BC 2

3 Prefrontal (PFC) Orbital Frontal (OFC) Medial Frontal (MFC) Dorsolateral Prefrontal (DLPFC) Planning complex cognitive behavior, expression of personality Social behavior and adjustment, mood control, drive and responsibility Facial recognition of emotion, especially social reward (e.g., smile) Working memory, task performance, self-efficacy and self-control, conflict induced behavior adjustment Barbara J. Limandri, DNSc, APRN, BC 3

4 Anterior cingulate Focus attention on emotion of significant events. Perseverative concern about mistakes. Monitoring the Sympathetic ANS Emotional response to pain Dorsal cingulate Self-judgments & reward based decision making Cognitive & reward based decision making Information processing, demands & subjective experience of effort Barbara J. Limandri, DNSc, APRN, BC 4

5 Sensory gating Selective attention Visual spatial tracking Relay for perception, especially pain Motor control & execution in OCD Barbara J. Limandri, DNSc, APRN, BC 5

6 Motivation, reward, feeding, impulsivity, goal directed behavior, pleasure Decreased activity in effort demanding & discounting response Activated in aversive conditioning Barbara J. Limandri, DNSc, APRN, BC 6

7 Amygdala Conscious mood control Fear conditioning Emotional memory Regulation and modulation of attention, perception & explicit memory Hippocampus Converts short term to long term memories Formation of new memories Autobiographical episodic memory, encodes memory Acts in collaboration with other structures, esp entorhinal cortex Barbara J. Limandri, DNSc, APRN, BC 7

8 Globus pallidus Putamen Caudate Regulates voluntary movement at the subconscious level Coordinates automatic behavior Something s not right here. Defensive motoric responses Striatum = Putamen + Caudate Barbara J. Limandri, DNSc, APRN, BC 8

9 Coordination of movement Maintenance of movement Regulation of muscle tone Barbara J. Limandri, DNSc, APRN, BC 9

10 Synaptic transmission Neurons Receptors Transmitters Neural firing Action potential Barbara J. Limandri, DNSc, APRN, BC 10

11 Electrical and chemical signaling between neurons One way of classifying neurons is by the chemical used for neurotransmission, e.g., dopaminergic Electricity as a series of ion movement across the cell membrane to change the charge of the membrane com/matthews/c hannel.html Barbara J. Limandri, DNSc, APRN, BC 11

12 Acetylcholine Dopamine GABA (inhibitory NT) Glutamate (excitatory NT) Norepinephrine Serotonin Barbara J. Limandri, DNSc, APRN, BC 12

13 Neurotransmitter Neuroreceptor Subtypes Acetylcholine Muscarinic (M 1&3,M 2 & 4,M 5 Nicotinic (many subtypes) Dopamine D 1&5, D 2, D 3, D 4 GABA GABA A & GABA B Glutamate AMPA, Glu 1-4, NMDA 1, 2 A-D Norepinephrine α 1A-D, α 2 A-C β 1-3 Serotonin 5HT 1A-F, 5HT 2A-C, 5HT 3, 5HT 4,6,7, 5HT 5 Client presentation: Anna O Identify behaviors and associated ated brain areas involved Identify target symptoms for pharmacological treatment Neurotransmitter involvement Neural pathways involved Barbara J. Limandri, DNSc, APRN, BC 13

14 Drugs are chemicals that act on the neurophysiology of the brain Neither the brain nor the drugs know or care about the DSM Therefore, classifying drugs by an antidiagnosis, makes little sense Therefore, I will be naming the drugs by their pharmacodynamics Monamine Oxidase Inhibitors (MAOIs) Multi Receptor Action (aka TCAs) Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SRIs) Serotonin Antagonist & Reuptake Inhibitor (SARI) Barbara J. Limandri, DNSc, APRN, BC 14
