Document Summary
Ndma receptor activation important for memory and learning. Is a neurotransmitter that has an inhibitory effect. When it attaches to its receptor on the postsynaptic membrane, it allows. This hyperpolarizes the postsynaptic neuron to inhibit transmission of an impulse. Glycine receptor is an ionotropic chloride channel analogous to the. Strychnine, a competitive antagonist of glycine, removes spinal inhibition to skeletal muscle and induces a violent motor response. Biogenic amine theory of depression: imbalances in 5ht and ne levels. Note: both serotonin and norepinephrine mediate a broad spectrum of depressive symptoms. Maos: monoamine oxidase inhibitors (slow down breakdown of ne and 5ht) Mauis: monoamine uptake inhibitors (result in ne and 5ht remaining in synaptic cleft longer) Serotonin is deactivated in the synapse by reuptake into the presynaptic. Prozac blocks the uptake of serotonin thus increasing the activation of neuron serotonin receptors. Substantia nigra/vta nucleus accumbens hippocampus/striatum/frontal cortex. Plays an important role in the formation of monogamous relationships, as.
