Neuropeptides Chains of amino acids

3 Excitatory Adrenergic Synapse Adrenergic synapse employs the neurotransmitter norepinephrine (NE) (aka noradrenaline) ( NE and other monoamines, and neuropeptides act through second messenger systems such as cyclic AMP (camp) The receptor is not an ion gate, but a transmembrane protein associated with a G protein Excitatory Adrenergic Synapse Secondary Messenger System has advantage of enzyme amplification single molecule of NE can produce vast numbers of product molecules in the cell receptor 1 Norepinephrine G protein 2 3 Presynaptic Postsynaptic Adenylate cyclase ATP camp Ligandregulated gates opened 5 Na Multiple Enzyme activation possible 6 effects 7 Metabolic changes Genetic transcription Enzyme synthesis Postsynaptic Inhibitory GABA-ergic Synapse GABA-ergic synapse employs -aminobutyric acid as its neurotransmitter nerve signal triggers release of GABA into synaptic cleft GABA receptors are chloride channels (Cl- anions) Cl - enters cell and makes the inside more negative than the resting membrane Membrane becomes Hyperpolarized Postsynaptic is inhibited - less likely to fire Cessation of Synapse Usually is its receptor for brief time replaced by another 1. stop adding neurotransmitter get rid of that which is already there stop signals in the presynaptic nerve fiber 2. Getting rid of neurotransmitter diffusion into nearby ECF astrocytes in CNS absorb it and return it to s Reuptake and breakdown synaptic knob reabsorbs amino acids and monoamines by endocytosis break neurotransmitters down with enzymes Degradation in the synaptic cleft Enzymes e.g., acetylcholinesterase in synaptic cleft degrades into acetate and cholin Neuromodulators hormones, neuropeptides, and other messengers that modify synaptic transmission may stimulate installation of more receptors in postsynaptic membrane may alter rate of neurotransmitter synthesis, release, reuptake, or breakdown enkephalins a neuromodulator family small peptides that inhibit spinal inters from transmitting pain signals to the brain nitric oxide (N) simpler neuromodulator a lightweight gas release by the postsynaptic s in some areas of brain concerned with learning and memory diffuses into presynaptic stimulates release of more neurotransmitter s way of telling the another to give me more Neural Integration synaptic delay slows transmission of nerve signals more synapses in pathway, longer it takes information to get from its origin to its destination synapses are not due to some limitation resulting from nerve fiber length gap junctions allow some cells to communicate more rapidly than chemical synapses then why do we have synapses? the more synapses a has, the greater its informationprocessing capabilities. neural integration = ability of s to process information, store and recall it, and make decisions
