|
Acetylcholine |
-choligeneric neuron -Building blocks: Choline y Acetyl Enzyme A -Acetyltransferase acts on these blocks and makes Ach. -AcHe tears them down |
|
|
Functions of Ach |
-movement -memory and learning -Autonomic functions |
|
|
Locations of Ach |
-Basal Gangliar region -neuromuscular junction |
|
|
Subtypes of Choligeneric Receptors |
-Nicotonic : Nicotine and Ach -Muscaronic Muscarine and Ach |
|
|
Monomines |
-Catecholamines -Indoleamines -all subject to reuptake from synaptic gap |
|
|
Catecholamines |
-Dopamine -Norepinephrine -Epinephrine -they share a common synthesis pathway |
|
|
Dopamine |
-Movement -Reinforcement -Planning -Found in the Basal Ganglia and the substantia nigra. |
|
|
Nonrepinephrine |
-Arousal -Vigilance -Mood -Found in any area dealing with life functions -Pons, Medulla, Hypothalamus
|
|
|
Serotonin |
-Sleep -Appetite -Mood -Located in the pons, esp. the raphe nucleus.
|
|
|
Indoleamines |
-Serotonin -Melatonin
|
|
|
Glutamate |
-Used to build proteins -most frequently used -must be cleared completely from the synaptic gap. Functions: Excitation and Long-term memory -Widely used in the CNS |
|
|
GABA |
-Major inhibitory NT of the CNS -Synthesized by the enzyme made from glutamate. -Inhibition -Mood -Seizure threshold -Widely used in the CNS |
|
|
ATP |
-Pain modulation -Inhibition -Located in the CNS, Autonomic Nervous system, and found in axons containing catecholmines. |
|
|
Endorphins |
-Pain reduction -Feelings of pleasure -Located all over the brain, hypothalamus, basal ganglia, spinal cord, etc. |
