Ion channels & neurotransmitter
receptors
 Voltage gated channels
 Ligand gated channels
 Ionotropic receptors
 Metabotropic receptors
 Membrane delimited
 Diffusible second messenger
Ion channels
Metabotropic receptors
3D structure of Nicotine receptor
The synapse & synaptic potentials
 Excitatory
 Excitatory post-synaptic potential (EPSP)
 Ionotropic receptor
 Inhibitory
 Inhibitory post-synaptic potential (IPSP)
 Presynaptic inhibition

Identification of central
neurotransmitters
 More difficult for CNS
 Anatomic complexity
 Limitation of available techniques
Criteria for neurotransmitter
identification
 Localization
 Microcytochemical
 immonocytochemical
 Release
 Simulation of Brain slices
 Calcium dependency of release
 Synaptic mimicry
 Microiontophoresis
 Physiological view
 Pharmacological view
Cellular organization of the brain
 Hierarchical systems
 Sensory perception, motor control
 Phasic information, delineated pathways
 Two types of neurons
 Projection or relay
 Local circuit neurons
 Limited number of transmitters
 Nonspecific or diffuse neuronal systems
 Affecting global function of CNS
 Small number of neurons, projections to wide
area of CNS
Pathways
Central neurotransmitters
 Amino acids
 Neutral amino acids
 Acidic amino acids
 Acetylcholine
 Monoamines
 Dopamine
 Norepinephrine
 5-hydroxytryptamine
 Peptides
 Nitric oxide
 endocananbiniods
