Q

ACh receptors

A
  1. nicotinic - ligand gated ion channel bind nicotine and ACh.
    ion channel permeable to K+ and Na
    - Na larger driving force = depolarization due to Na+ influx

Q

glutamate LTP Mechanism

A
  1. presynaptic neuron fires AP, glutamate released and binds both AMPA and NMDA on postsynaptic membrane.
  2. AMPA rec. fun like excitatory postsynaptic rec. channel becomes permeable to both K and Na and NA influx depolarizes EPSP of postsynaptic cell
    NMDA channels mediate Ca flux
    when depolarized, Ca enters postsynaptic cell
  3. Ca ions activate 2ndmessanger cascade with kinases and LTP
