Zonula adherens

Functions of the electrical transmission


1.Electrical synapses are more reliable, less likely to fail. 2.Greater speed important in rapid reflexes involving escape reactions. 3.The synchronization of electrical activity of groups of cells. 4.Intracellular transfer of molecules such as Ca, ATP and cAMP. 5.The activity of gap junctions between cells in the retina can be modulated by dopamine. Thus the gap junctions can be dynamic components of neuronal circuits. 6. Mutations in the genes encoding gap junction proteins cause diseases: Peripheral neuropathy Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease Abnormal cardiac development Congenital deafness Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease inherited peripheral neuropathy -degeneration of peripheral nerves -Foot deformities, muscle wasting, distal sensory loss, decreased tendon reflexes Gap junction is necessary for radial migration in the neocortex

Chemical synapse

Chemical synapse
Neurotransmitter Depolarization of the presynaptic nerve terminal Triggers the release of molecules Interact with receptors on the postsynaptic neuron Excitation or inhibition of the postsynaptic neuron.

Neurotransmitters: Definition:
Synthesized by presynaptic neuron Released by stimulation Microapplication of NT. Mimic the presyn. stimulation Presynaptic & microappl. Stim. Must be blocked by pharmacologic agent High affinity uptake mechanism for the substance in synaptic terminal
release of NT, synapsin
