Habituation at the cellular level: Dr. Eric Kandel
After habituation, fewer quanta per action potential were released.
The sensitivity of the postsynaptic cell to NT did not change.

How does NE accelerate the heartbeat?
K+ conductance is decreased
by phosphorylation
modulation
close
If this occurs at the presynaptic nerve term., it will increase the NT release.
G-protein coupled receptors (GPCR)
-Same NT can have different postsynaptic actions,
depending on what receptors it binds to.

-GPCR  K+ channel
Hyperpolarization
Slows contraction

-Ach-gated Na+ channel
Depolarization
Induce contraction

Vertebrate Models of Learning
Neural basis of memory learned from
invertebrate studies
Learning and memory can result from
modifications of synaptic transmission
Synaptic modifications can be triggered by
conversion of neural activity into
intracellular second messengers
Memories can result from alterations in
existing synaptic proteins

A mechanism for motor memory?
LTD is caused when three signals occur at the same time:
Na+, Ca2+ and PKC
