Central Nervous System drugs Flashcards
It is the study of medications that modify neurological system-controlled processes.
NEUROPHARMACOLOGY
It’s directing an action potential down a neuron’s axon.
Axonal Conduction
The mechanism by which the information is passed amongst postsynaptic cells and neurons.
Synaptic Transmission
The use of lipid-soluble chemicals or certain transport mechanisms is the only permitted passage. What is it called?
BLOOD BRAIN BARRIER
It is a condition in which unexpectedly stopping drug use might cause a withdrawal syndrome.
Physical Dependence
It is a treatment of narcolepsy.
Modafinil
A disease that has an impact on the extrapyramidal system, particularly impacts mobility.
PARKINSON’S DISEASE
This cause the dopamine receptors to be activated directly or indirectly.
Dopaminergic drugs
The drugs that hinder ACh receptors.
Anticholinergic Agents
The minimal diffusion of excitation occurs from the focal to surrounding cortical regions.
PARTIAL SEIZURES
The following are: Under what seizures?
Carbamazepine
Gabapentin
Lamotrigine
Tiagabine
Topiramate
Partial Focal Seizures
What are the three (3) Absent Seizures?
- Succinimides
- Valproic Acid
- Zosinamide
GABA levels in the brain are raised as a result of binding to a carrier protein and acting at a receptor.
GABAPENTIN
It is classified as the involuntary contraction of a muscle or set of muscles.
MUSCLE SPASM
Through preventing the flow of nerve signals at the motor end plate, skeletal muscles can be relaxed.
Neuromuscular Blocking drug
It is a competitive/stabilizing drugs.
NON-DEPOLARIZING BLOCKING DRUGS
It behaves similarly to acetylcholine however it is not rendered deactivated by ACHe.
Succinylcholine
This takes place when individuals suddenly stop using a substance on which they have a physical dependence.
Abstinence syndrome
It lessens the unfavorable (anxiety/restlessness) effects of abstinence.
Acamprosate
After stopping substance usage, a typical withdrawal episode can start anywhere from an hour to several days afterwards.
Opoid Addiction
