1 Chapter 8 Neurons, Synapses, and Signaling PowerPoint Lectures for Biology, Eighth Edition Overview: Lines of Communication The cone snail kills prey with venom that disables neurons Neurons are nerve cells that transfer information within the body Neurons use two types of signals to communicate: electrical signals (longdistance) and chemical signals (shortdistance) Lectures by Chris Romero, updated by Erin Barley with contributions from Joan Sharp and Janette Lewis Copyright 8 Pearson Education, nc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings What makes this snail such a deadly predator? Nervous system organization The transmission of information depends on the path of neurons along which a signal travels Processing of information takes place in simple clusters of neurons called ganglia or a more complex organization of neurons called a brain Many animals have a complex nervous system which consists of: A central nervous system (CNS) where integration takes place; this includes the brain and a nerve cord A peripheral nervous system (PNS), which brings information into and out of the CNS Arm Ganglia Brain Eye Nerve Mantle Nerves with giant axons
2 Concept 8.: Neuron organization and structure reflect function in information transfer Neuron organization and structure reflect function in information transfer Neurons are the functional unit of the nervous system Nervous systems process information in three stages:. sensory input. integration. motor output Neurons Transmit nformation stages of information processing. Sensory reception: Sensors detect external stimuli and internal conditions and transmit information along sensory neurons. ntegration: Sensory information is sent to the brain or ganglia, where interneurons integrate the information. Motor output leaves the brain or ganglia via motor neurons, which trigger muscle or gland activity Summary of information processing Sensor Effector Sensory input Motor output Peripheral nervous system (PNS) ntegration Central nervous system (CNS) Neurons Transmit nformation Neuron structure and function Most of a neuron s organelles are in the cell body Most neurons have dendrites, highly branched extensions that receive signals from other neurons The axon is typically a much longer extension that transmits signals to other cells at synapses An axon joins the cell body at the axon hillock Neuron Structure and Organization Dendrites Stimulus Neuron Structure and Organization Nucleus Cell body hillock Presynaptic cell Synapse Synaptic terminals Synapse Synaptic terminals Neurotransmitter Postsynaptic cell Neurotransmitter Postsynaptic cell
3 Neuron Structure and Function A synapse is a junction between an axon and another cell The synaptic terminal of one axon passes information across the synapse in the form of chemical messengers called neurotransmitters nformation is transmitted from a presynaptic cell (a neuron) to a postsynaptic cell (a neuron, muscle, or gland cell) Structural diversity of neurons Dendrites Cell body Sensory neuron nterneurons Portion 8 µm of axon Cell bodies of overlapping neurons Motor neuron Nervous System Organization Most neurons are nourished or insulated by cells called glia Astrocytes: star shaped- nourish Oligodendrocytes make myelin sheaths (insulation) for neurons in the CNS Schwann cells make myelin sheaths for neurons in the PNS Concept 8.: on pumps and ion s maintain the resting of a neuron on pumps and ion s maintain the resting of a neuron Every cell has a voltage (difference in electrical charge) across its plasma called a Messages are transmitted as changes in The resting is the of a neuron not sending signals Formation of the Potential Formation of the resting : The resting is typically -7 mv n a mammalian neuron at resting, the concentration of is greater inside the cell, while the concentration of is greater outside the cell Sodium-potassium pumps use the energy of ATP to maintain these and gradients across the plasma These concentration gradients represent chemical energy
4 Formation of the Potential The basis of the The opening of ion s in the plasma converts chemical to electrical A neuron at resting contains many open s and fewer open s; diffuses out of the cell Anions trapped inside the cell contribute to the negative charge within the neuron OUTSDE [ ] CELL 5 mm NSDE [ ] CELL mm [Na+ ] 5 mm [ ] [Cl ] 5 mm mm [Cl ] [A ] mm mm Key OUTSDE CELL NSDE CELL Sodiumpotassium pump Potassium Sodium (a) (b) Animation: Potential Modeling of the Potential can be modeled by an artificial that separates two chambers The concentration of KCl is higher in the inner chamber and lower in the outer chamber diffuses down its gradient to the outer chamber Negative charge builds up in the inner chamber At equilibrium, both the electrical and chemical gradients are balanced Formation of the Potential The equilibrium (E ion ) is the voltage for a particular ion at equilibrium and can be calculated using the Nernst equation: E ion = 6 mv (log[ion] outside /[ion] inside ) The equilibrium of (E K ) is negative, while the equilibrium of (E Na ) is positive nner chamber 9 mv mm 5 mm KC KC Potassium Outer chamber Cl Formation of the Potential n a resting neuron, the currents of and are equal and opposite, and the resting across the remains steady Many ion s are open, most Na ion s are closed so the is around -7 mv (a) Membrane selectively permeable to E K = 6 mv(log 5 mm mm) = 9 mv

13 Neurotransmitters Acetylcholine a common neurotransmitter in vertebrates and invertebrates n vertebrates it is usually an excitatory transmitter Biogenic amines include epinephrine, norepinephrine, dopamine, and serotonin They are active in the CNS and PNS Neurotransmitters Amino acids Two amino acids are known to function as major neurotransmitters in the CNS: gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and glutamate GABA is an inhibitory neurotransmitter Neurotransmitters Neuropeptides: relatively short chains of amino acids, Neuropeptides include substance P and endorphins, which both affect our perception of pain Opiates bind to the same receptors as endorphins and can be used as painkillers Gases such as nitric oxide and carbon monoxide are local regulators in the PNS Does the brain have a specific receptor for opiates? Does the brain have a specific receptor for opiates? EXPERMENT Radioactive naloxone RESULTS Drug Protein mixture Proteins trapped on filter Measure naloxone bound to proteins on each filter
