Document Summary

Memory and learning: c/c stm and ltm, seq, iov ltp. Synapse (cid:314) junction between synaptic terminal and another cell. Electrical (cid:314) current flows directly from cell to cell. Chemical (cid:314) involve neurotransmitters (see figure 48. 16) Synaptic cleft (cid:314) gap between synapse and postsynaptic cell, good for diffusion. Postsynaptic cell (cid:314) cell that receives signal. Synthesizes neurotransmitters that are stored in synaptic vesicles. Ap (cid:314) causes voltage-gated ca2+ channels to open (cid:314) ca2+ enters cell (cid:314) some vesicles fuse (cid:314) nts released. Acetylcholine (cid:314) muscle stimulation memory and learning. Dopamine (cid:314) level in brain affects mood. Change in membrane potential of postsynaptic cells. Triggered by ligand-gated ion channel (ligand (cid:314) something that binds: neurotransmitters in this case) Types of postsynaptic potentials (cid:314) see figure 48. 17. Often 100s of terminals to dendrite or cell body; all these signals must be put together. Postsynaptic potential (cid:314) based primarily on interactions, distance of terminal to hillock, [neurotransmitter]

The junction specialized for the transmission between a neuron and another cell is called a (1) _____ ______. Usually, the signal being sent to the receiving cell is carried by chemical messengers called (2) _____. (3) _____ is an example of this type of chemical messenger, which diffuses across the synaptic cleft, combines with protein receptor molecules on the muscle cell membrane, and soon thereafter is rapidly broken down by enzymes. At an (4) ____ synapse, the membrane potential is driven toward the threshold value and increases the likelihood that depolarization and an action potential will occur. At an (5) ____ synapse, the membrane potential is driven away form the threshold value, and the receiving neuron becomes hyperpolarized and is less likely to achieve an action potential. A specific transmitter substance can have either excitatory or inhibitory effects depending on which type of protein channel it opens up in the (6) ____ membrane. (7) ____ are neuromodulators that inhibit perceptions of pain and may have roles in memory and learning, emotional states, temperature regulation, and sexual behavior. (8) ____ ________ at the cellular level is the moment-by-moment tallying of all excitatory and inhibitory signals acting on a neuron. Incoming information is (9) ____ by the cell bodies, and the charge differences across the membranes are either enhanced or inhibited.

A (12) ____ is an involuntary sequence of events elicited by a stimulus. During a (13) _______ ________, a muscle contracts involuntary whenever conditions cause a stretch in length; many of these help you maintain an upright posture despite small shifts in balance. Imbalances can occur at chemical synapses; a neurotoxin produced by Clostridium tetani blocks the release of GABA and glycine, thus freeing the motor neurons from (14) _____ control, which may cause tetanus â a prolonged, spastic paralysis that can lead to death.
