Premium Brain Dopamine Neuroanatomy
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

* Nervous Tissue: The Basic Hardware * Neurons are individual cells in the nervous system that receive‚ integrate‚ and transmit information. * The soma‚ or cell body‚ contains the cell nucleus and much of the chemical machinery common to most cells. * Dendrites are the parts of a neuron that are specialized to receive information. * The axon is a long‚ thin fiber that transmits signals away from the soma to other neurons or to muscles or glands. * The axon ends

List some common neurotransmitters and describe their effect on behavior. Neurons are electrically excitable cells found in the nervous system‚ which is mainly responsible in the transmission of information between the neurons and the cells.

Dopamine is an important neurotransmitter in the nervous system that communicates a lot of information between neurons and parts of the brain. The networks of neurons that use dopamine appear to influence activity in different areas of the brain so that abnormalities can cause abnormal activities in certain parts of the brain. Importantly for schizophrenia‚ dopamine appears to play a big

and spinal cord. The peripheral part of the nervous system is said to be peripheral because it is outside the central nervous systems. The human nervous system contains approximately 10 billion nerve cells. These neurons are the basic building blocks of the nervous system. Neurons consist of the nerve cell body and various extensions from the cell body. These extensions‚ or processes‚ are the dendrites (branches off the cell that receive electrical impulses)‚ the axon (the electrical wiring and
