• Where the messages go from one cell to the next cell. • Messages go from the axon of one cell to the dendrite of another; they never touch • The space between them is the synaptic cleft. • The conduction is accomplished through neurotransmitters. • Neurotransmitters • are chemical substances that make it possible for messages to cross the synapse of a neuron to target receptor

SYNAPSE

• Chemicals responsible for signal transmission between the individual neurons • Most neurons make two or more transmitters, which are released at different stimulation frequencies • 50 or more neurotransmitters have been identified by chemical structure and function

NEUROTRANSMITTERS

• Also known as the “Epinephrine” • Important part of body’s ability to survive but sometimes will release the neurotransmitter when it is under stress, but not facing real danger • Can create feelings of dizziness, light-headedness, and vision changes • When no danger is present, that extra energy has no use, and this can leave the person feeling restless and irritable • Excessively high levels of the adrenaline due to stress without real danger can cause heart damage, insomnia, and a jittery, nervous feeling

GLUTAMATE

• Intimately involved in emotion and mood • Too little _____ has been shown to lead to: • Depression • problems with anger control • obsessive-compulsive disorder • suicide • also leads to an increased appetite for carbohydrates (starchy foods) and trouble sleeping, which are also associated with depression and other emotional disorders

SEROTONIN

• ○ Nerve impulses have a domino effect. • Each neuron receives an impulse and must pass it on to the next neuron and make sure the correct impulse continues on its path • Through a chain of chemical events, the dendrites (part of a neuron) pick up an impulse that’s shuttled through the axon and transmitted to the next neuron. • The entire impulse passes through a neuron in about seven milliseconds — faster than a lightning strike.

NERVE IMPULSE TRANSMISSION

• presence of neurotransmitters • it is open when an appropriate chemical lands

Chemically-Gated Channel

• open and closes in response to changes in membrane potential

Voltage-Gated Channels

open in response to physical deformation of the receptors

Mechanically-Gated Channel

Depolarization – a stimulus depolarizes the neuron’s membrane • A deploarized membrane allows sodium (Na+) to flow inside the membrane • The exchange of ions initiates an action potential in the neuron

STARTING A NERVE IMPULSE

• If the action potential (nerve impulse) starts, it is propagated over the entire axon • Potassium ions rush out ofthe neuron after sodium ions rush in, which repolarizes the membrane • The sodium-potassium pump restores the original configuration • This action requires ATP

THE ACTION POTENTIAL

• The impulse continues to move toward the cell body • Impulses travel faster when fibers have a myelin sheath
