What synapse

Answer 19

A crucial junction bettwen the 2 neuron or between the nueron and another cell

Question 20

Importance of synapse?

Answer 20

Information processing: allow complex processing and integration of info. Within the numeral network

Plasticity: can be strengthen or weaken overtime base on the activity

Modulation: the strength and efficacy of synaptic transmission

Answer 24

Psychotropic medication

Question 25

2 types of drugs

Answer 25

Agonis- strengthen the effect of neutrotransmitter Antagonist- blocks or impedes the normal activity of a give n

Question 26

Types of agonis or antagonist

Answer 26

Full agonist- activate receptor to produce maximal biological response Ex. Morphine: produce strong pain relief Fentanyl:another potent opiod agonis Partial agonist: bind to receptor but activated them less effectively than full agonis Ex. Buprenorphine: use treating opiod addiction Hallicinogens: Lsd: causes strong changes in how you see and feel things Magic mushrooms:altering your reality Cannabis: can alter your mood and perception Alcohol
