|
| Name 4 Transmitters of Excitatory Synapses. |
1. Acetylcholine; 2. Norepinepherine; 3. Serotonin; 4. Glutamate |
| What is the function of Excitatory Synapses? |
1. promote Depolarization via INCREASED Na+ or DECREASED K+ permeability; 2. create EPSP's |
| What are EPSP's? |
Voltage produced POSTsynaptically to DEPOLARIZE Resting Potential |
| Name 4 Transmitters of Inhibitory Synapses. |
1. GABA; 2. Dopamine; 3. Serotonin; 4. Glycine |
| What is the function of Inhibitory Synapses? |
1. promote Hyperpolarization via INCREASED Cl- or INCREASED K+ permeability; 2. create IPSP's |
| What are IPSP's? |
Voltage produced POSTsynaptically to HYPERPOLARIZE Resting Potential |
| How do Stimulants work? |
Stimulates Excitatory -or- Inhibits Inhibitory Synapses |
| How do Depressants work? |
Inhibits Excitatory -or- Stimulates Inhibitory Synapses |
