Ch 13 - Psychopharmocology Flashcards
drugs produced from outside the body
exogenous
drugs produce from within
endogenous
how a drug works
effects
where a drug works
site of action
how a drug gets used
pharmacokinetics
to affect you, a drug must blank
bind to a receptor
faster a drug gets to site of action, the more blank
addictive
after a certain dose of drug, increasing doses blank
does not produce stronger effect
difference between desired effect and undesired effect like mortality
margin of safety
takes a higher dose to get the same effect
tolerance
dose of a drug creates augmented effect… and locomotor activity increases as well as WANT for the drug
sensitization
a substance from which another substance is formed
precursor
drugs that facilitate postsynaptic effects
agonist
drugs that block postsynaptic effects
antagonist
competitive binding of agonists and antagonists
direct
noncompetitive binding of agonists and antagonists
indirect
neurotransmitters must be:
- in synaptic terminal
- calcium dependent release
- subject to inactivation
- receptors exist
3 nt families
amino acids, monoamines, neuropeptides
glutamate, aspartate, glycine, gaba are blank NTs
amino acids
catecholamines, indoleamines, histamine, acetlycholine are blank NTs
monoamines
substance P, endorphins, enkephalins are blank NTs
neuropeptides
90% of CNS involve the 4 blank neurotransmitters
amino acid
glutamate and aspartate are blank NTs
excitatory
gaba and glycine are blank NTs
inhibitory
major inhibitory CNS neurotransmitter
gaba
gaba is made from blank and blank
glutamade, gad
glutamate and gad makes these two things
gaba, co2
chloride concentration is blank inside than outside
less
two gaba indirect agonists
valium, phenobarbital
gaba a receptors allow blank ions in
chloride
gaba b receptors are connected to blank channels
potassium
precursor of dopamine, norepinephrine, epinephrine
tyrosine
precursor of serotonin
tryptophan
first man to isolate neurotransmitter
otto loewi
two ach receptor subtypes
muscarinic, nicotinic
sympathetic has blank synapses, releases blank at first and blank at second
2, ach, norepinephrine
parasympathetic has blank synapses, releases blank at first and blank at second
2, ach, ach
somatic has blank synapses and releases blank
1, ach
dopamine, norepiniphrine, epinephrine are all this type of monoamine
catecholamine
serotonin is this type of monoamine
indoleamine
tyrosine through tyrosine hydroxylase is converted to blank and is the rate limiting step
dopa
dopa becomes blank through aromatic amino acid decarboxylase
dopamine
dopamine is converted to blank via dopamine beta hydroxylase
norepinephrine
norepinephrine is converted to blank via pnmt
epinephrine
only two places that make dopamine
substantia nigra, ventral tegmental area
vta, substantia nigra are in the blank
midbrain/mesencephalon
pathway of dopamine that is reinforcement, drug addictino, schizo
mesolimbic
mesolimbic has dopamine coming from this part of vta
nucleus accumbens, amygdala
dopamine for STM, and planning
mesocortical
mesocortical has dopamine coming from this part of vta
prefrontal cortex
pathway of dopamine for movement and comes from substantia nigra
nigrostriatal
norepinephrine uses axonal blank
varicosities
cocaine causes blank effect of dopamine
prolonged
tryptophan is converted to blank via tryptophan 5-hydroxylase and is the blank
5 htp, rate limiting step
5 htp is converted to blank via aromatic amino acid decarboxylase
5 ht (serotonin)
serotonin is released blank the brain rather than specific blank
throughout, pathways
serotonin is made in blank
raphe nuclei
mao inhibitor mess with blank and are for blank
monoamine oxidase, depression
ssri blocks the blank of serotonin and are for blank
reuptake, depression
peptide transmitters have recently been found to act as transmitters in the blank
cns
peptides may blank other neurotransmitters
modulate
there is blank of peptides with classical neurotransmitters
colocalization
the study of the effects of exogenous drugs on the nervous system and behavior
psychopharmacology
drugs can modulate blank in many different ways
neurotransmitters
first natural ligand for thc discovered
anandamide
thc stimulates blank receptors in cerebellum, globus pallidus, hippocampus, and substantia nigra
cannabioid
there are blank receptors for marijuana in blank
few, brainstem
thc has a low blank
toxicity
drug that distorts visual perception / serotonin
lsd
drug that is a noradrenergic/serotonergic agonist, excitatory and hallucinogenic effects; short term feeling of euphoria and well being
mdma (ecstasy)
