The Neuron
• Soma (cell body) – contains nucleus, cytoplasm, organelles
• Dendrites – receive info
• Axon – transmits info
• Myelin sheath – covers the axon to increase transmission speed (cause of sensory and motor disturbances in multiple sclerosis)
![Page 7: Basic neurochemistry](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102621/54c1eea34a79593c5a8b4604/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

Neuron
• Basic functional unit of nervous system
• Unique features of neuron:
– Excitability
– Conductivity
![Page 8: Basic neurochemistry](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102621/54c1eea34a79593c5a8b4604/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

What is a synapse?
• A synapse is the junction between 2 neurones.
• There is a very narrow gap of about 20nm between neurones called the synaptic cleft.
• A nerve impulse cannot cross the synaptic cleft, so nerve impulses are carried by chemicals called neurotransmitters.
![Page 9: Basic neurochemistry](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102621/54c1eea34a79593c5a8b4604/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

SYNAPSE
![Page 10: Basic neurochemistry](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102621/54c1eea34a79593c5a8b4604/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
11
Action Potential/Impulse conduction
• The information in neuron is passed from one to another in the form of nerve signal i.e. Action potential, which is due to its unique features of excitability and conductivity.
![Page 11: Basic neurochemistry](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102621/54c1eea34a79593c5a8b4604/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
12
Action Potential
• Nerve signals are transmitted by action potential
• Any stimulus - Mechanical
Physical
Biochemical
Sudden change in resting membrane potential

14
Resting membrane potential
• Normally there is an excess of positive charges outside the cell
• Inside of the cell is negative with respect to outside
• Called as Resting membrane potential
Normal Resting Membrane Potential is -70mv
Due to unequal no. of ions on either side of the membrane
![Page 14: Basic neurochemistry](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102621/54c1eea34a79593c5a8b4604/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
15
Resting membrane potential
• Following are the ions which play important role in generating resting membrane potential :
- Sodium ions ( +vely charged) - Potassium ions ( +vely charged) - Chloride ions ( -vely charged) - Organic ions ( e.g. proteins) :-vely
charged
![Page 15: Basic neurochemistry](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102621/54c1eea34a79593c5a8b4604/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
16
Resting membrane potential
• Na+K+Pump actively pump 3 Na+ outside the neuron for each 2 K+ inside the neuron.
• Thus Most of the sodium ions remain
outside of the cell and Potassium ions are inside the cell.
• This creates negative potential inside the resting neuron -70mv
![Page 16: Basic neurochemistry](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102621/54c1eea34a79593c5a8b4604/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

18
Action PotentialResting stage : - 70mv Any stimulus – Mechanical, Physical or Biochemical Change in resting membrane potential (from -70mv to +30mv)
This change in RMP causes opening of voltage gated Na+ channel
More entry of Na+ inside the neuron
Reaches Maximum electropotential +30 to 35mv This gradual increase in charge is called as
depolarization
![Page 18: Basic neurochemistry](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102621/54c1eea34a79593c5a8b4604/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

• Depolarization:
Each action potential begins with a sudden change from the normal resting negative membrane potential to a positive potential
• Repolarization :
After depolarization the action potential ends with equally rapid change back to negative potential

21
The Synapse
• Axon terminal releases neurotransmitters.
• Neurotransmitters cross the synapse and bind to receptors on another neuron.
• Neurotransmitters released, taken up again by first neuron.
![Page 21: Basic neurochemistry](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102621/54c1eea34a79593c5a8b4604/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
22
NEUROTRANSMITTERS
• Chemicals produced by the body that are released from the nerve endings
• Enable passage of impulses from one neuron to another across the synapse
• Act on their specific receptors (glycoprotein structures on the cell membrane)

31
Neurotransmitters• Excitatory :
- Stimulate neurons
e.g. Noradrenaline, Dopamine, Histamine, Serotonin, Glutamate etc.
Acetyl-choline (neuromodulator)
• Inhibitory :
- Suppress the neurons
e.g. GABA (Gamma-Amino-Butyric-Acid)
![Page 31: Basic neurochemistry](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102621/54c1eea34a79593c5a8b4604/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
32
Neurotransmitters
• Acetylcholine – movement (respiratory paralysis)
• Serotonin – mood, sleep, appetite, anxiety (depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic disorder)
• Dopamine – motivation, pleasure (schizophrenia, Parkinson’s)
• Epinephrine and Norepinephrine – attention, anxiety, stress (epilepsy, mania in bipolar disorder)
![Page 32: Basic neurochemistry](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102621/54c1eea34a79593c5a8b4604/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
51
Gama Amino Butyric Acid
• It is primarily an inhibitory neurotransmitter responsible for Sleep, prevents anxiety & stress signals & has an overall calming effect on the brain.
• It has three receptors GABAA, GABAB
& GABAC
![Page 33: Basic neurochemistry](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102621/54c1eea34a79593c5a8b4604/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
58
NEUROTRASMISSION
• A neuron generates and propagates an action potential along its axon, then transmits this signal across a synapse by releasing neurotransmitters, which trigger a reaction in another neuron or an effector cell (eg, muscle cells; most exocrine and endocrine cells).
• The signal may stimulate or inhibit the receiving cell, depending on the neurotransmitter and receptor involved.
![Page 34: Basic neurochemistry](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102621/54c1eea34a79593c5a8b4604/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
59
Blood brain barrier: A mechanism that creates a barrier between brain tissues and circulating blood; serves to protect the central nervous system.
Propagation: passing of electrical impulse within neuron by exchange of Na+ and K+ across the axonal membrane.
![Page 35: Basic neurochemistry](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102621/54c1eea34a79593c5a8b4604/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
79
The Blood-Brain Barrier• Endothelial cells in blood vessels in the
brain fit closely together• Only some molecules can pass through• Protects the brain from foreign molecules
and hormones and neurotransmitters from other parts of the body
• Can be damaged by infections, head trauma, high blood pressure, etc.
