Cell can produce current (nervous impulse) ! ! when ions move to eliminate the potential ! difference (volts) across the membrane! Resistance = restricts ion movement (current)! ! (high resistance = low current); membrane ! has resistance, restricts ion flow/current! Ohm’s Law: current = voltage ÷ resistance! Current highest when voltage high and ! ! resistance low! Cell voltage set at -70mV but membrane! ! resistance can be altered to create current! Membrane resistance depends on permeability! ! to ions: open or close ion channels!

(Handout)! 1. Depolarization to threshold:! - a graded potential depolarizes local ! membrane and flows toward the axon! - if threshold is met (-55mV) at the hillock, an ! action potential will be triggered! 2. Activation of sodium channels and rapid ! depolarization:! - at threshold (-55mV), voltage-regulated ! sodium channels on the excitable axolemma! membrane open! - Na+ flows into the cell depolarizing it! - the transmembrane potential rapidly changes ! from -55mV to +30mV! 3. Inactivation of sodium channels and ! activation of potassium channels:! - at +30mV Na+ channels close and K+ ! channels open! - K+ flows out of the cell repolarizing it! 4. Return to normal permeability:! - at -70mV K+ channels begin to close! - the cell hyperpolarizes to -90mV until all ! channels finish closing! - leak channels restore the resting membrane ! potential to -70mV! Restimulation only when Na+ channels closed:! influx of Na+ necessary for action potential! Cell has ions for thousands of action potentials! Eventually must run Sodium-Potassium pump ! !

Continuous Propagation: ! ! -unmyelinated axons! ! -whole membrane depolarizes and ! ! repolarizes sequentially hillock to ! ! terminal! ! -only forward movement; membrane ! ! behind always in absolute refractory ! period! Absolute Refractory Period = -55mV ! ! (threshold) to +30mV, Na+ channels open, ! membrane cannot respond to additional ! ! stimulus! Relative Refractory Period = +30mV to ! ! -70mV (return to resting potential), Na+ ! ! channels closed, membrane capable of ! ! second action potential but requires ! ! larger/longer stimulus (threshold elevated)!

Propagation across chemical synapse always ! ! slow but allows variability! Neurotransmitter Mechanism of Action! Post synaptic potential = graded potential ! ! caused by a neurotransmitter due to ! ! opening or closing of ion channels on ! ! post synaptic cell membrane! Two types:! 1. Excitatory Post Synaptic Potential (EPSP)! ! -causes depolarization! 2. Inhibitory Post Synaptic Potential (IPSP)! ! -causes hyperpolarization! ! -inhibits postsynaptic cell (need larger ! ! !stimulus to reach threshold)!

Amy Warenda Czura, Ph.D. 9 SCCC BIO130 Chapter 12 Lecture Notes Most nervous system activity results from ! ! interplay of EPSPs and IPSPs to ! ! promote differing degrees of facilitation! ! or inhibition to allow constant fine ! ! tuning of response!

Spatial summation! -multiple synapses fire simultaneously! -collective depolarization reaches threshold! Facilitated = depolarized; brought closer to ! ! threshold by some sort of stimulus, less ! ! stimulus now required to reach threshold! ! (e.g. caffeine)! Post Synaptic Potentiation:! -repeat stimulation of same synapse ! ! ! conditions synapse, pre cell more easily ! ! stimulates post cell to threshold (repetition)! 3. Dopamine! -excitatory or inhibitory ! -second messengers! -many brain synapses, many functions! ! -responsible for reward feeling! ! !-cocaine: inhibits removal = “high”! ! -Parkinson’s disease: damage neurons =! ! !ticks, jitters! 4.
