Clear, structured notes on neurotransmission in the CNS, focusing on how brain circuits function and how drugs influence signalling at multiple levels. Includes: • Synaptic transmission and signal integration in neural circuits • The complexity of neurotransmission beyond the “1:1 synapse” model • Neurotransmitter diversity (glutamate, GABA, monoamines, peptides, etc.) • Receptor structure, subtypes, and allosteric modulation • GABA_A receptors as a key pharmacological...

Clear, structured notes covering schizophrenia, depression, and anxiety. Focuses on neurobiology, brain circuits, neurotransmitters, and key mechanisms. Includes evaluation of major theories. Ideal for biomedical science, neuroscience, psychology, and pharmacology exam revision.

Clear, detailed notes on schizophrenia, covering both clinical features and underlying neurobiological mechanisms in a structured, easy-to-understand format. Includes: • Positive vs negative symptoms and core clinical features • The dopamine hypothesis (mesolimbic vs mesocortical pathways) • The glutamate/NMDA hypothesis and its role as a primary mechanism • How glutamate dysfunction leads to dopamine imbalance • Brain circuits and symptom mapping (PFC, VTA, nucleus accumb...

Clear, high-quality notes on depression (Major Depressive Disorder) designed to help you understand both the clinical features and underlying neurobiology in a structured, exam-ready way. Covers key topics including: • Diagnostic features and challenges in defining depression • Monoamine theory (serotonin, noradrenaline) and its limitations • HPA axis dysfunction and cortisol regulation • BDNF, neurogenesis, and neuroplasticity • Mechanisms of antidepressants and rapid-act...

Clear, structured notes on anxiety disorders, designed to help you understand both the clinical concepts and underlying neurobiology in an exam-ready format. Covers key topics including: • What anxiety is and when it becomes maladaptive/pathological • DSM classification challenges and limitations • The concept of endophenotypes in psychiatric research • Amygdala circuitry and its role in fear, stress, and behaviour • Interoception and how physiological signals influence an...
