Internal charge of a resting neuron -70 MV
Charge of neuron during activation -70 to -55 to +40
wake of depolarization speed = 2-900mph, -70MV restored
Neuro transmitters float across the synaptic gap. chemical messengeres that shuttle info neuron to neuron
axon terminal where the neutron release is stimulated, they shuttle across the synapse to the dendrite
ACH exitatory, too little = alzhemimer's disease
Norepinephrine excitatroy, middle and lower brain, cocane prevents re-uptake
cocane prevent reuptake norepinephrine
serotonin exitatory, lower part of brain, LSD blocks it, MDMA blacks reabsoption
MDMA bloack reabsorbtion serotinin
dopamine front and lower brain, destrcution of producing areas may lead to parkinson's disease, excess= schizophrenia
excess = schizophrenadestruction of producing areas may lead to parkinson's disease dopamine
