Glycine is antagonized by …
Strychnine
Mechanism of action of GABA
Increase influx of cl and cause hyperpolarization inhibition
Norepinephrine effects
Stimulatory on alpha 1
Inhibitory in beta 2 receptors
Effect of NO
Change intracellular metabolic function of the brain cells
Glutamate and aspartate receptors
NMDA , AMPA and kinate receptors
Muller’s law
Each receptor is specific to a certain stimulus and responds to it at low thersold
• It can respond to non specific stimulus at high threshold by the same modality of sensation
Weber-fechner law
Frequency of AP from receptor to afferent directly proportional to logarithm of intensity on the receptor
• If Frequency from recpetor to afferent was 10/100/1000
The stimulus intensity on receptor ll be 1/2/3 in order
