Q

How does Chronic Pain effect the Pain receptors?

A

With chronic pain, there are more pain receptors, so it is harder to bind to them and inhibit pain transmission; more NDMA and AMPA-R and less Enkephalin

Q

Extrapyramidal Motor Tract: Rubrospinal

A

Used by cerebellum; modulation of voluntary movement

20
Q

Is Glutamate Excitatory or Inhibitory? What is Glutamate?

A

Excitatory; Main NTM for fast pain pathway

21
Q

How does a SSRI create more free-floating Serotonin?

A

Blocks the reuptake of Serotonin, leading to more free floating in the 2nd degree neuron; also helps with 3rd degree neuron

22
Q

How are our NDMA receptors as a baby?
*When we are older?

A

We do not have very many NDMA receptors as a baby
*As we grow older, we develop more NDMA receptors

23
Q

What type of Neurons are used for Fast Pain?

A

A-Delta Myelinated Nociceptors

24
Q

What does the 3rd order descending release?
*Is this excitatory or inhibitory?
*What does this do to the nociceptor and the 2nd order receiving neuron

A

Releases Enkephalins in the spinal cord
*INHIBITORY in the spinal cord
*Binds to the Nociceptor and 2nd order receiving neuron to inhibit pain

25
Q

2nd Main Glutamate I-Receptor:
*What ion can flood in
*Location
*Activation of this receptor can do what to Mg++?

A

NDMA - Ca++ can flood in, as it is bigger
*Located on cell well synapse
*Kick Mg++ out and allow Ca++ in

26
Q

What does the 2nd Descending Order Neuron release?
*Where is this released?
*What does this stimulate?

A

Releases 5-HT [Serotonin] at the dorsal horn in the spinal cord
*This excites the 3rd Order Descending Neuron

27
Q

What is CGRP?

A

Slow NTM in the Slow pain pathway; Calcitonin Gene Related Peptide

28
Q

What does Ca++ do inside the nociceptor?

A

It binds to the Glutamate vesicles and causes exocytosis at cell wall [similar to ACh]

29
Q

What NTM does the 1st Order Descending Neuron Release when excited?
*Where are they released
*What does this stimulate

A

Enkephalins in the middle of the Pons @ the Raphe Magnus Nucleus
*Stimulates/Excites the 2nd order descending neuron

30
Q

How does Acupuncture work?

A

Lateral Inhibition

31
Q

How does Dr. Schmidt classify Tramadol?

A

SSRI, NDMA Blocker, Ekephalin Blocker

32
Q

Which pain messes more with the Emotional System?

A

Slow Pain [chronic pain]

33
Q

Another Name for Serotonin?

A

5-HT

34
Q

Which Extrapyramidal Motor Tract is used by the cerebellum?

A

35
Q

How many Neurons make up the DIC?

A

36
Q

Per lecture, what can we use to stimulate the DIC?

A
