Act through second messenger, such as cAMP. Binding of norepinephrine stimulates dissociation of G- protein alpha subunit. Alpha subunit binds to adenylate cyclase, converting ATP to cAMP. cAMP activates protein kinase, phosphorylating other proteins. Open ion channels.

Regulation of mood, behavior, appetite, and cerebral circulation. SSRIs (serotonin-specific reuptake inhibitors): Inhibit reuptake and destruction of serotonin, prolonging the action of NT. Used as an antidepressant. Reduces appetite, treatment for anxiety, treatment for migraine headaches.

Axons project into: Nigrostriatal dopamine system: Nuerons in substantia nigra send fibers to corpus straitum. Initiation of skeletal muscle movement. Parkinsons disease: degeneration of neurons in substantia nigra. Mesolimbic dopamine system: Neurons originate in midbrain, send axons to limbic system. Involved in behavior and reward. Addictive drugs: Promote activity in nucleus accumbens.

  • 31. Copyright 息 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. Amino Acids as NT Glutamic acid and aspartic acid: Major excitatory NTs in CNS. Glutamic acid: NMDA receptor involved in memory storage. Glycine: Inhibitory, produces IPSPs. Opening of Cl- channels in postsynaptic membrane. Hyperpolarization. Helps control skeletal movements. GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid): Most prevalent NT in brain. Inhibitory, produces IPSPs. Hyperpolarizes postsynaptic membrane. Motor functions in cerebellum.

Substance P: Major NT in sensations of pain. Synaptic plasticity (neuromodulating effects): Neurons can release classical NT or the polypeptide NT.
  • 33. Copyright 息 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display. Polypeptides as NT Endogenous opiods: Brain produces its own analgesic endogenous morphine-like compounds, blocking the release of substance P. Beta-endorphin, enkephalins, dynorphin. Neuropeptide Y: Most abundant neuropeptide in brain. Inhibits glutamate in hippocampus. Powerful stimulator of appetite. NO: Exerts its effects by stimulation of cGMP. Macrophages release NO to helps kill bacteria. Involved in memory and learning. Smooth muscle relaxation.
