The defining features of drug intoxication and addiction can be traced to disruptions in cell-to-cell signaling. October 01‚ 2007 Carl Sherman‚ NIDA Notes Contributing Writer illustration of a neuron Drugs of abuse alter the way people think‚ feel‚ and behave by disrupting neurotransmission‚ the process of communication between brain cells. Over the past few decades‚ studies have established that drug dependence and addiction are features of an organic brain disease caused by drugs’ cumulative

The influence of Heredity on behavior Written by Hassel Hamilton University of Axia Introduction Through the years scientist have been a debating what cause the body to behave they it does .Some people say that is genetics some say it is environment I thank that it is both genes and environment .Have you ever wonder how you got your eye color and your brown ‚ black ‚ red ‚ and blond or

consists of the central nervous system (CNS)‚ made up of the brain and the spinal cord‚ and the peripheral nervous system (PNS)‚ the neurons that link the CNS to our skin‚ muscles‚ and glands. And we will see that our behavior is also influenced in large part by the endocrine system‚ the chemical regulator of the body that consists of glands that secrete hormones. A neuron is a cell in the nervous system whose function it is to receive and transmit information soma‚ which contains the nucleus of the

ions move into or out of the neuron through these channels? Into 5. Voltage-gated potassium channels open at what voltage? -130 mV 6. Acetylcholine (ACh) and GABA are neurotransmitters that open chemically-gated channels. What ions pass into the cell when these channels are activated? a. ACh: Sodium (Na+) ions b. GABA: Chlorine (Cl-) ions 7. Ion channels are regionally located and functionally unique. List all the areas on the neuron and the type of potential dependent

Somatic lower motor neuron is in ventral horn of gray matter and neurotransmitter at skeletal muscle is Ach. Visceral motor comes from cranial nerves or intermediolateral gray horn‚ involves 2 neurons and the neurotransmitter is either Ach or NE at either cardiac muscle‚ smooth muscle or glands.

Spines play an essential role in long term-potentiation‚ the process by which activity between synapsing neurons strengthens their connection. LTP occurs when glutamate released by a pre-synaptic neuron binds to an NMDA receptor on the post-synaptic cell (Lynch‚ 2004). If the post-synaptic cell is sufficiently depolarized at this time‚ a magnesium ion will be expelled from the channel‚ allowing for an
