STAHL'S ESSENTIAL PSYCHOPHARMACOLOGY 5TH EDITION
EXAM QUESTIONS COMPLETE WITH 100% VERIFIED ANSWERS
\.Modern psychopharmacology is - ANSWERS-largely the story of
chemical neurotransmission
\.neurotransmission can be described as - ANSWERS-Anatomically,
chemically, and electrically
\.Anatomical neurotransmission occurs through - ANSWERS-Neurons
(nerve cells)
\.synapse between axon of one neuron and axon of another neuron -
ANSWERS-axoaxonic synapse
\.between axon terminals of one neuron and dendrites of others -
ANSWERS-axodendritic synapse
\.axon terminal ends on cell body (soma) - ANSWERS-axosomatic
synapse
, \.Axoaxonic- The strongest signal. "The brakes" axon connecting to
another axon. They can increase or decrease the effect of axodendritic
signals by opening and closing Ca2+ channels.
Axodendritic- Most common but also the weakest. Axon connecting to
the dendrite of another cell.
Axosomatic- axon of one cell connecting to the soma of another.
Axosomatic is not selective in inhibition, it will block a signal from all
dendrites on the cell where as axodendritic will only block the effects
from one synapse. - ANSWERS-axoaxonic, axodendritic, axosomatic
synapses
\.behavioral symptoms may occur - ANSWERS-neuron malfunction
\.behavioral symptoms may be relieved, worsen, or be produced -
ANSWERS-when drugs alter the neuronal function
\.axon stimulates a synapse secondarily on its way to another neuron -
ANSWERS-en passant synapse
\.Six key neurotransmitter systems - ANSWERS-Serotonin (5HT),
Norepinephrine, dopamine, acetylcholine, glutamate, GABA (y-
aminobutyric acid)
