Action potential reaches the presynaptic Ca 2+ axon Ca 2+ Presynaptic 2. Voltage gates Ca2+ channels open Ca 2+ Ca 2+ neuron 3. Ca2+ influx into axon terminal causes neurotransmitter release from presynaptic vesicles Synaptic Cleft 4. Vesicles fuse with the presynaptic membrane and release neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft Postsynaptic 5. Neurotransmitters activate receptors on neuron the post synaptic cleft altering permeability Stimulate, Na+ Whilst on placement you are testing the knee jerk reflex on a Stimulate, Cl- patient and think back to EPSPs and IPSPs from PCS. Inhibit, Cl- EPSPs ____ firing of action potentials as a result of increase ___ influx post glutamate release. Inhibit, K+ Inhibit, Na+ Stimulate, Na+ EPSPs stimulate firing of action potentials as a result of increase Na+ influx post glutamate release. Stimulate, Cl- EPSPs: membrane depolarization due to an influx of positively Inhibit, Cl- charged ions IPSPs: membrane Inhibit, K+ hyperpolarization due to an influx of negatively charged ions Inhibit, Na+Neurotransmitters Neurotransmitters Dopamine Serotonin TYROSINE L-TRYPTOPHAN Tyrosine Hydroxylase Tryptophan Hydroxylase (RLS) L-DOPA 5-HTP DOPA Decarboxylase 5-HTP decarboxylase DOPAMINE SEROTONIN (5HT) Dopamine Beta Hydroxylase Monoamine oxidase NORADRENALINE 5-HIAA GABA/ Glutamate Glycine Glucose Serine Tyrosine Hydroxylase Glutamate Serine Hydroxymethyl transferase DOPA Decarboxylase (tetrahydrofolate cycle) GABA Glycine Neurotransmitters Dopamine Serotonin • Involved in motivation, reward, arousal, • Involved in mood, emotion, motor control motivation • Produced in the substantia nigra, ventral • Produced in the raphe nuclei tegmental area (midbrain), hypothalamus Gamma amino butyric acid (GABA) Glutamate • Main inhibitory neurotransmitter • Main excitatory neurotransmitter • Produced in the hippocampus, thalamus, • Produced in the hippocampus, basal ganglia neocortex, widespread • GABAa- influx of Cl-, GABAb- efflux of K+ • Excitotoxicity- neuronal damageGlutamate cannot cross the blood Malate brain barrier therefore has to be converted to glutamine in glial cells via the enzyme glutamine Succinate synthetase. Once glutamine enters nerve terminals glutaminase converts it back to Oxaloacetate glutamate. Here it can be used for neurotransmission or assimilated back into the Krebs cycle. Alpha Ketoglutarate Which molecule in the Krebs cycle can be involved in the synthesis of glutamate? CitrateMalate Succinate Oxaloacetate Alpha Ketoglutarate Citrate Dopamine receptors A 40 year old woman comes into clinic complaining of weakness in her legs and difficulty talking and GABA Receptors swallowing. She says her symptoms usually gets worse towards the end of the day. You also notice that her eyelids are Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors dropping. Serotonin (5HT) receptors The production of antibodies against which receptor can cause this condition? Glutamate Receptors Dopamine receptors MYESTHENIA GRAVES GABA Receptors Acetylcholine: • Choline + Acetyl CoA (comes from pyruvate) Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors • Recycled via acetylcholinesterase in the synaptic cleft Serotonin (5HT) receptors PT Glutamate ReceptorsTheoretical models of depression Neurogenic Model Monoamine model • Suppression of adult hippocampal neurogenesis • Monoamines- serotonin, noradrenaline, caused by a trigger event dopamine • Patients with depression have smaller hippocampi monoamines mood Inflammatory Model therefore • Proinflammatory cytokines and reactive oxygen monoamines mood species (ROS) in various brain regions contribute to neuronal damageAntidepressants • TCAs- tricyclic antidepressants • SSRIs- selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors • SNRIs- serotonin and noradrenaline reuptake inhibitors • NRI- noradrenaline reuptake inhibitor • MOAs- monoamine oxidase inhibitors Monoamine reuptake Inhibitors SSRI TCA • Citalopram- prolonged QT • Amitriptyline- neuropathic • Fluoxetine- children and adolescents pain transporter (longer half life) • ADRs: Antimuscarinic effects • fluoxetine and paroxetine have a (dry mouth, constipation, higher propensity for drug interactions urinary retention), lengthening QT interval • Sertraline- post MI PT Interactions: SNRI • If on warfarin/heparin- Mirtazapine (alpha 2 antagonist) • Duloxetine, venlafaxine • NSAIDs- prescribe a PPI NRI • Memory aid: • Triptans and MOAs- serotonin • Reboxetine • ‘Dulo’ sounds like dual syndrome PT Discontinuation of SSRIs Review of SSRIs • Review 2 weeks post initiation unless: • <25 or at increased risk of suicide- review after Discontinuation symptoms: 1 week • If good response to treatment- continue for at least 6 months after remission to reduce • Gastrointestinal side effects: pain, relapse risk cramping diarrhea, vomiting • Increased mood change Protocol when stopping SSRIs: • Difficulty sleeping • When stopping - SSRI dose should be gradually • Unsteadiness reduced over a 4 week period • sweating • Paroxetine has a higher incidence of • paresthesia discontinuation symptoms Mirtazapine A 65 year old man with hypercholesterolemia takes atorvastatin for lipid modification Reboxetine and citalopram for depression. He has recently suffered an MI. The registrar in charge is Fluoxetine considering changing citalopram for another drug. Sertraline What is the name of this drug? Moclobemide Mirtazapine A 65 year old man with hypercholesterolemia takes atorvastatin for lipid modification Reboxetine and citalopram for depression. He has recently suffered an MI. The registrar in charge is Fluoxetine considering changing citalopram for another drug. What is the name of this drug?
