Modern psychopharmacology is - (ANSWER)largely the story of chemical
neurotransmission
neurotransmission can be described as - (ANSWER)Anatomically, chemically, and
electrically
Anatomical neurotransmission occurs through - (ANSWER)Neurons (nerve cells)
synapse between axon of one neuron and axon of another neuron -
(ANSWER)axoaxonic synapse
between axon terminals of one neuron and dendrites of others -
(ANSWER)axodendritic synapse
axon terminal ends on cell body (soma) - (ANSWER)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.
, 2
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. -
(ANSWER)axoaxonic, axodendritic, axosomatic synapses
behavioral symptoms may occur - (ANSWER)neuron malfunction
behavioral symptoms may be relieved, worsen, or be produced - (ANSWER)when
drugs alter the neuronal function
axon stimulates a synapse secondarily on its way to another neuron -
(ANSWER)en passant synapse
Six key neurotransmitter systems - (ANSWER)Serotonin (5HT), Norepinephrine,
dopamine, acetylcholine, glutamate, GABA (y-aminobutyric acid)
a neurotransmitter that serves as a natural painkiller - (ANSWER)B-endorphin
endogenous cannabinoid - (ANSWER)Anandamide
