neurochemistry of memory Flashcards
4 neurotransmitters of memory (remember cats)
5HT, catecholamines, glutamate, acetyl choline (5 cats glue ass)
what are the two neurotransmitters that mimic glutamate?
Andrew Kilptrick
AMPA and Kainic acid
how would you describe the glutamate receptor?
tetramer
are glutamate receptors ionotropic/metabotrophic?
name the two ionotrophic receptors?
which one is fast? (one that doesn’t take calcium)
non NMDA (AMPA) Ampa Acceleration
2 main receptors for glutamate?
AMPA and NMDA
which one lets calcium through?
NMDA
slower as a result
y
formula for the formation of glutamate and nh3
glutamine + h20 -> glutamate + nh3
agonists of which system reduce or prevent near inflammation (sport)
p par gamma
what is the role of ApoE?
cholesterol metabolism
membrane stability and repair
what would you expect NMDA receptor antagonists to do in terms of learning and memory?
reduce
4 neurotransmitters involved in memory?
5HT, catecholamines, glutamate, acetyl choline
