2. Can we fix it?

Imagine your brain as a large rail transportation
system and your 100 billion nerve cells = trains, while
your brain “support cells”, are the train tracks
Now imagine disruption in
connectivity … (~100 trillion
points of connection)…..
Can we fix it?

Dendrites
Axon
Axon terminal
A dendrite may receive positive (“excitatory”) or negative (“inhibitory”)
signals from one, a few, or even thousands of other neurons.
The neuron acts a calculator adding all the signals and if they pass a certain
level an electrical impulse (action potential) passes through the axon.

23. The synapse

‫כלים‬
‫שלובים‬
The synapse
• 20 nanometer wide.
• The synapse is where the
electrical impulse is
converted to chemical
transmission through a
neurotransmitter.
• The presynaptic neuron
secretes the
neurotransmitter .
• On the post synaptic
neuron there are receptors
for dozens of
neurotransmitters.

‫כלים‬
‫שלובים‬
Hodgkin and Huxley
They used the “giant axon” of the squid to
discover the mechanism of transmission.
Nobel
Prize
1963

26. Action potential


Ion- an atom or molecule with
positive or negative charge.
Action potential is generated by
movement of sodium (Na+) and
potassium (K+) through channels
on the membrane of the neuron.

31. Neurotransmitters - Dopamine

In Health and disease
Dopamine is important
for motor coordination

Dopamine is important for
cognition and emotion

In Parkinson’s Disease (PD)
loss of dopaminergic
neurons in the
substancia nigra- causes
tremor, and inability to
move.
‫כלים‬

Treatment
Levodopa- treatment for
PD. Increasing dopamine.
In overdose, causes
hallucinations.
Cocaine, “crystal meth”
and ecstasy – increase
dopamine and cause
hallucinations.
In Schizophrenia
Dysfunction in these
circuits is linked to
schizophrenia “positive
symptoms”hallucinations and
delusions
