8 Santiago Ramon y Cajal (ca 1900) : the Neurone Doctrine
9 ca. 1900: Sherrington proposes the concept of the synapse So far as our present knowledge goes we are led to think that the tip of the [axon s] arborescence is not continuous with but merely in contact with the substance of the dendrite or cell body on which it impinges. Such a special connection of one nerve cell with another might be called a synapse. C.S. Sherrington; in Foster,M. A Textbook of Physiology. 7th edn συν together απτειν to clasp
10 Synaptic potentials underlie reflex excitation and inhibition EPSP John Eccles IPSP
11 The brain is mostly synapses (1000 times more synapses than neurones) 1 µm
12 Neurones and their connections are self-organising

55 Most movements are the result of a complex interplay between voluntary and reflex components:
56 Spindle afferents signal muscle length and velocity of shortening continuously during sinusoidal movements
57 Spinal reflex circuits can be trained by treadmill therapy after spinal injury
58 and some promising results have been reported for some spinal injured patients

61 Summary 1. Neuroscience is studied at many levels: from clinical to basic; from systems to cells to molecules 2. Complex neural functions arise from the ways neurones are connected at synapses, in specific neural circuits. 3. Reflexes are stereotyped responses to defined stimuli. The monosynaptic stretch reflex (knee-jerk reflex) is an example of the simplest neural circuit; it involves only two neurones: a primary afferent sensory neurone and an efferent motor neurone 4. Information is encoded in the pattern and frequency of action potentials and in the size and shape of synaptic potentials. 5. EPSPs and IPSPs mediate excitatory and inhibitory synaptic transmission respectively, using distinct neurotransmitters (e.g. glutamate, excitatory; GABA, inhibitory) and specific receptors. 6. Multi-synaptic excitatory and inhibitory spinal reflexes are integrated to generate complex motor patterns, refined by learning ( plasticity ) 7. Engineering recovery from spinal injury requires reconnection of injured descending motor pathways to intact spinal reflex circuits
