Psyc 383 lecture 2 notes: listen to beginning of lecture, (ave to memorize all cns (cid:498)-cephelons(cid:499) Medulla: contains some of the cranial nerves, life support and basic movement, and early sensory function. Cranial nerves: generally bilateral, has nuclei associated with them, listen to lecture about each nerve. Chemical signaling between neurons: synaptic cleft is changes and remolded (i. e. every time you access a memory) Neurotransmitter receptors (metabotropic) summary: this is a way to increase specificity of signaling. Involved in the guidance of axons (samples environment and what is present, axons will grow towards certain things) Pharmacology of synaptic transmission** memorize: shows all the ways drugs can affect, 2. Drug can bind to and inhibit the enzyme that produces the nt: 3. Drug substitutes for the nt at the postsynaptic receptor; e. x. If degrading enzyme is blocked, then drug break down is prevented so more is present in synaptic cleft: 11.
