Presentation transcript:

1 At the dendrite the incoming signals arrive (incoming currents) Molekules Synapses Neurons Local Nets Areas Systems CNS At the soma current are finally integrated. At the axon hillock action potential are generated if the potential crosses the membrane threshold The axon transmits (transports) the action potential to distant sites At the synapses are the outgoing signals transmitted onto the dendrites of the target neurons Structure of a Neuron:

2 Chemical synapse Neurotransmitter Receptors

3 Neurotransmitters Chemicals (amino acids, peptides, monoamines) that transmit, amplify and modulate signals between neuron and another cell. Cause either excitatory or inhibitory PSPs. Glutamate – excitatory transmitter GABA, glycine – inhibitory transmitter

4 Synaptic Transmission: Synapses are used to transmit signals from the axon of a source to the dendrite of a target neuron. There are electrical (rare) and chemical synapses (very common) Synapses are used to transmit signals from the axon of a source to the dendrite of a target neuron. There are electrical (rare) and chemical synapses (very common) At an electrical synapse we have direct electrical coupling (e.g., heart muscle cells). Synapses are used to transmit signals from the axon of a source to the dendrite of a target neuron. There are electrical (rare) and chemical synapses (very common) At an electrical synapse we have direct electrical coupling (e.g., heart muscle cells). At a chemical synapse a chemical substance (transmitter) is used to transport the signal. Synapses are used to transmit signals from the axon of a source to the dendrite of a target neuron. There are electrical (rare) and chemical synapses (very common) At an electrical synapse we have direct electrical coupling (e.g., heart muscle cells). At a chemical synapse a chemical substance (transmitter) is used to transport the signal. Electrical synapses operate bi-directional and are extremely fast, chem. syn. operate uni- directional and are slower.

At a chemical synapse a chemical substance (transmitter) is used to transport the signal. Electrical synapses operate bi-directional and are extremely fast, chem. syn. operate uni- directional and are slower. Chemical synapses can be excitatory or inhibitory they can enhance or reduce the signal change their synaptic strength (this is what happens during learning).

6 What happens at a chemical synapse during signal transmission: The pre-synaptic action potential depolarises the axon terminals and Ca 2+ -channels open. Pre-synaptic action potential Concentration of transmitter in the synaptic cleft Post-synaptic action potential The pre-synaptic action potential depolarises the axon terminals and Ca 2+ -channels open. Ca 2+ enters the pre-synaptic cell by which the transmitter vesicles are forced to open and release the transmitter. The pre-synaptic action potential depolarises the axon terminals and Ca 2+ -channels open. Ca 2+ enters the pre-synaptic cell by which the transmitter vesicles are forced to open and release the transmitter. Thereby the concentration of transmitter increases in the synaptic cleft and transmitter diffuses to the postsynaptic membrane. The pre-synaptic action potential depolarises the axon terminals and Ca 2+ -channels open. Ca 2+ enters the pre-synaptic cell by which the transmitter vesicles are forced to open and release the transmitter. Thereby the concentration of transmitter increases in the synaptic cleft and transmitter diffuses to the postsynaptic membrane. Transmitter sensitive channels at the postsyaptic membrane open. Na + and Ca 2+ enter, K + leaves the cell. An excitatory postsynaptic current (EPSC) is thereby generated which leads to an excitatory postsynaptic potential (EPSP).
