Q

positive reinforcement model

62
Q

axon terminal

A

end part of an axon that makes synaptic contact with another cell

63
Q

electrically charged particles

A

outside

66
Q

synapse

A

junctions between the axon of the sender and the dendrite of the receiver

67
Q

neurotransmitter

A

chemicals move across synaptic gaps bind to receptor sites, then detach they are taken up again by sending axon -reuptake

68
Q

excitatory neurotransmitters

A

increase the probability of firing

69
Q

inhibitory neurotransmitters

A

decrease the probability of firing

70
Q

dopamine

A

movement, drug use reinforcement “survival signal”

71
Q

what do lower levels of dopamine lead to

A

parkinsons

72
Q

nigrostriatal pathway

A

muscle movement
- the pathway that stretches between Substantia nigra to the striatum

73
Q

mesolimbic dopamine pathway

A

stretches from ventral tegmental area to the nucleus accumbens - every drug of abuse causes DOP activity here

74
Q

acetylcholine

A

involved in learning and memory
found in the cerebral cortex
nucleus basalis - created here

75
Q

what is acetylcholine involved in

A

learning and memory - decreases in this is linked to Alzheimers disease

76
Q

norepinephrine

A

fight or flight
regulates the level of arousal and attentiveness
-digestion slows down with high state of stress

77
Q

serotonin

A

may have a role in regulating impulsivity, aggression, depression, control of food intake

78
Q

what kind of drugs influence serotonin pathways?

A

hallucinogenic drugs

79
Q

where is serotonin made

A

raphe nuclei

80
Q

GABA

A

inhibitory neurotransmitter - shuts down areas of the brain - alcohol, depressants

found in most regions of the brain

81
Q

glutamate

A

primary excitatory
- found in most of regions of the brain but dont want too much of it because it can destroy neurons = excitotoxicity

82
Q

endorphines

A

opium-like class of drugs of chemicals occurring naturally in the brain - regulate pain/pleasure
“runners high”

83
Q

endocannabinoids

A

regulate several bodily functions such as sleep, mood, appetite, learning, memory, body temperature, pain, immune functions and fertility

84
Q

the life cycle of a neurotransmitter 7 steps

A
  1. neurotransmitter
  2. uptake
  3. synthesis
  4. storage
  5. release
  6. binding
  7. metabolism
85
Q

neurotransmitters

A

precursors are found circulating in the blood supply and in the brain
- brain turns L-DOPA into dopamine when given

86
Q

uptake

A

selected precursors are taken up by cells

87
Q

synthesis

A

precursors are synthesized into neurotransmitters through the action of enzymes

88
Q

storage

A

neurotransmitters are stored in synaptic vesicles near the terminal from which they will be released

89
Q

released

A

when the action potential arrives, neurotransmitters are released into the synapse

90
Q

binding

A

released neurotransmitters bind with receptors on the membrane of the post synaptic cell

91
Q

metabolism

A

once a signal has been sent, neurotransmitters are removed from the synapse

92
Q

drug actions

A

alter neurotransmitter availability in the synapse through actions on synthesis, storage, release, reuptake or metabolism

  • antidepressants block reuptake of dopamine, serotonin and norepinephrine
93
Q

agonist

A

mimics the action of neurotransmitters by activating the receptor

94
Q

antagonist

A

occupies the receptor and prevents the neurotransmitter from activating it (blocks it )

95
Q

inverse agonist

A

occupied the receptor but produces an opposite effect relative to the neurotransmitter

96
Q

inhalation

A

drugs move faster from the lungs into the bloodstream through capillary walls
-effects are rapid

97
Q

topical application

A

absorption through the skin and can provide slow steady drug delivery

98
Q

THC

A

high affinity, slow and steady effect, slowly removed from the blood

99
Q

ethanol

A

low affinity, rapid effect, quickly removed from the blood
= primarily exists as unbound in the body

100
Q

blood brain barrier

A

only lipid soluble substance can pass through lipid bilayer surrounding brain capillaries

101
Q

what increases the difficulty of passing through blood brain barrier

A

capillaries covered with glial cells

102
Q

active transports systems

A

molecules that are in the blood brain barrier that bind to chemicals (chemicals need active transport systems to be able to cross the blood brain barrier

103
Q

drugs may alter the availability of a neurotransmitter by changing

A
  1. rate of synthesis
  2. metabolism (MAOIs- wipe out neurotransmitters that normally break down enzymes)
  3. release (methamphetamine)
  4. reuptake (prozac, cocaine)
104
Q

why is meth so addictive

A

works directly on the reward center

meth mimics dopamine and is picked up by dopamine receptors and overload causes dopamine to be pushed out into the synapse

105
Q

drug deactivation

A

happens when the drug is excreted unchanged from the body or is chemically changed

106
Q

key drug metabolizing liver enzymes

A

CYP450
the resulting metabolite no longer has the same action as the drug and can be excreted by the kidneys

107
Q

tolerance enzyme induction

A

when the bodys cell detect the foreign drug, triggers the production of more of the specific metabolizing enzyme

108
Q

asian flush

A

body converts ethanol to acetaldehyde at a rapid rate but does nor convert acetaldehyde quickly

109
Q

drug disposition tolerance

A

occurs when repeated doses of a drug result in accelerated metabolism

110
Q

behavioral tolerance

A

the drug may have the same biochemical effect but a reduced behavioral effect

111
Q
A
