Amino acids
- many, but 3 important
Glutamate (glutamic acid)
- main excitatory/learning
- glutamine - glutamic acid
- 4 receptor types
- Kainate/Quisqualate
- NMDA
- AMPA
- Meta - few or several?
- inactivation - reuptake
- distribution
GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid)
- main inhibitory
- glutamic acid -> GABA
- 2 receptor types
- GABA A - ionotropic/Cl- GABA B - metabotropic/K+
- inactivation -reuptake -neuron/glia
- distribution
Glycine
- inhibitory - spine/hindbrain/motor
- ionotropic - Cl-
Monoamines (Biogenic Amines)
- slower/longer effect - modulatory
- catecholamines
- Epinephrine, norE, dopamine
- indolamines
- serotonin (5-HT)
- Dopamine
Tyrosine - L-DOPA - Dopamine
- 5 receptor types - metabotropic
- release - varicosities
- inactivation - reuptake & MAO
- distribution
Acetylcholine - Ach
- skeletal muscles (PNS)
- cardiac muscles
- brain - learning and sleep
Synthesis
- Choline and Acetate don’t bind
- ChAT
- AchE
- & presyn buton
- choline is recycled
Two types of Ach receptors
- Nicotinic receptor - ionotropic
- muscle receptors
- Muscarinic - metabotropic
- more in CNS than nicotinic
Alcohol
- affects cell membranes (oldest idea)
- glutamate (NMDA) and AMPA (Na+ block)
- GABA - agonist
- Ach - antagonist in CNS (inhibits release)
- Dopamine - VTA-NA activity (GABA link?)
- inhibition of inhibition?
