(define on this nc) • What is synaptic cleft? 17 note cards • What is the action potential? • What are neurotransmitters? • How does Prozac work? • What is AcH? Dopamine? • What is serotonin? Endorphins? • What is epinephrine? Norepinephrine? • What are agonists? Antagonists? • What are 3 types of neurons? • What is homeostasis? • Divisions of the nervous system? (draw chart) • What is the sympathetic NS? Parasympathetic? • What is the autonomic NS? Somatic NS? • What is the Central NS? Peripheral NS? • What is the endocrine system? Examples of major glands?

  3. It all Starts with the Neuron

  4. Neuron Structure Neurons do NOT touch each other- the space in between is called synaptic cleft.

  5. Neural Bases of Psychology: The Structure of a Neuron

  6. How a Neuron Fires It is an electrochemical process • Electrical inside the neuron • Chemical outside the neuron (in the synapse in the form of a neurotransmitter). • The firing is call Action Potential.

  7. Neural Bases of Psychology: Neural Communication • Within a neuron, communication occurs through an action potential (neural impulse that carries information along the axon of a neuron).

  8. The All-or None Response • The idea that either the neuron fires or it does not- no part way firing. • Like a gun

  9. Steps of Action Potential • Dendrites receive neurotransmitter from another neuron across the synapse. • Reached its threshold- then fires based on the all-or-none response. • Opens up a portal in axon, and lets in positive ions (Sodium) which mix with negative ions (Potassium) that is already inside the axon (thus Neurons at rest have a slightly negative charge). • The mixing of + and – ions causes an electrical charge that opens up the next portal (letting in more K) while closing the original portal. • Process continues down axon to the axon terminal. • Terminal buttons turns electrical charge into chemical (neurotransmitter) and shoots message to next neuron across the synapse.

  10. Action Potential

  11. How Neurons Communicate

  12. Play doh neuron instructions • Get in groups of 2 or 1. No trios. • Create a neuron with playdoh on your paper. • Include the soma, axon, dendrites, mylien sheath and terminal buttons. (5 different colors) • Match the terminal buttons of your neuron with the dendrites of another (without making a complete second neuron. Label the synapse. • Label them on your paper. • You may refer to p. 76 or my computer.

  13. Which sentence most closely describes neural transmissions? • A. an electric charge is created in the neuron, the charge travels down the cell, and chemicals are released that cross the synapse to the next cell • B. a chemical change occurs within the cell, the change causes an electric charge to be produced and the charge jumps the gap between the nerve cells. • C. the electric charge produced chemically inside a group of neurons causes chemical changes in surrounding cells • D. neurotransmitters produced in the hindbrain are transmitted to the forebrain, causing electric

  14. Neurotransmitters • Chemical messengers released by terminal buttons through the synapse. • We should know at least 6 types and what they do.

  15. Acetylcholine • Its function is motor movement and maybe memory. To much and you will…. Not enough and you will…. Lack of ACH has been linked to Alzheimer’s disease.

  16. Dopamine • Its function is motor movement and alertness. Lack of dopamine is associated with Parkinson’s disease. Overabundance is associated with schizophrenia.

  17. PET scan • Parkinsons • Muscle rigidity • Tremors • Speech slur • Difficult gait • Before/After medicine www. Epub.org What type of scan Is this?

  18. Serotonin • Function deals with mood control. Lack of serotonin has been linked to depression.

  19. Endorphins • Function deals with pain control. We become addicted to endorphin causing feelings.

  20. What are agonists and antagonists? • They are drugs • Agonists mimic neurotransmitters. Example: Nicotine is an ACh agonist • Antagonists block neurotransmitters: • Ex: curare is an antagonist for ACh (paralyzes you)

  21. Agonists and Antagonists

  22. You eat some bad Chinese food and feel you are losing control of your muscles. The bacteria you ingested from the food most likely interferes with the use of: • A. serotonin • B. insulin • C. acetylcholine • D. Thorazine • E. adrenaline

  23. What is reuptake? • The mopping up of excess neurotransmitter.

  24. How does Prozac work? • It is a serotonin reuptake inhibitor.

  25. How does Cocaine work? The white cocaine blocks the reuptake of dopamine.

  26. Types of Neurons Sensory Neurons Motor Neurons Inter Neurons

  27. Sensory Neurons(Afferent Neurons) • Take information from the senses to the brain.

  28. Motor Neurons(Efferent Neurons) • Take information from brain to the rest of the body.

  29. Divisions of the Nervous System “para” like A parachute

  30. Sympathetic NS • Mobilizes the body during extreme conditions • Considered “fight or flight” system • Involves E activities: emergency, excitement, exercise, and embarassment • If you are threatened: • Heart rate and breathing increase • Pupils dilate • Skin cold and sweaty • Bronchioles dilate • Liver releases glucose

  31. The PSNS performs maintenance activities and conserves body energy • If the sympathetic stimulates, the parasympathetic slows the system back down (think of PARAchute) • Provides homeostasis homeo = same Homeostasis means same state you were in before you saw the dog!

  32. Think how the right side is different from the left side.

  33. A Simple Reflex

  34. A spinal reflex differs from a normal sensory and motor reaction in that • A. a spinal reflex occurs only in response to extremely stressful stimuli • B. in a spinal reflex, the spine moves the muscles in response as soon as the sensory information reaches the spine while usually the impulse must reach the brain before a response • C. in a normal sensory/motor reaction, the spine transmits the information through afferent nerve fibers, while reflex reactions are transmitted along special efferent nerves • D. spinal reflexes are part of the central nervous system response, while normal sensory/motor reactions are part of the peripheral nervous system • E. spinal reflexes occur only in animals because humans are born without instinctual responses.

  35. The Endocrine System A system of glands that secrete hormones. Similar to nervous system, except hormones work a lot slower than neurotransmitters. Hormones Neurotransmitters

  36. The Major Endocrine Glands
