7- Catecholamines Flashcards
Effect of Tonic Transmission at LC
Increased anxiety like behaviour
increased locomotion
Induce wake from sleep
Increase periods of wakefulness
Effect of Phasic Transmission at LC
Decreased locomotion
Induce wake from sleep
Increase periods of wakefulness
Effect of NE in Cortex
Attention
Cognition
Effect of NE in HPC
Boosts L/M
Effect of NE in Amygdala
Arousal
Mood
Effect of NE in Basal Forebrain
Increases activity of neurons (cognition)
D1 Family
D1 and D5
Gs (excitatory)
Postsynaptic
Lower affinity for DA (need phasic/ AP)
D2 Family
D2,3,4
Gi (inihibitory)
Presynaptic or post synaptic
Greater affinity for DA (may mediate tonic transmission)
Components of SCZ
Positive symptoms (hallucinations)
Negative symptoms (decreased motivation)
Cognitive symptoms (impaired memory)
