Membrane Potential
• The inside of the cell has a negative charge compared with the outside.
• The membrane has a polarity.• This is maintained by pumping positive
charged ions (Na+) outside.

Changing the Polarity
• Resting potential: (-70 mV): The membrane potential of a neuron when it’s not being affected by other neurons.
• Depolarization: reducing the polarity of the neuron. Moving from -70 mV towards zero. Adding more positively charged ions into the cell or removing negatively charged ions from the inside.
• Hyperpolarization: Increasing the polarity of the membrane.

Ion Channels
![Page 8: Neuron Communication Lecture](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062810/563dbad1550346aa9aa84d9e/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
How do ion channels open or close?
• Voltage-dependant ion channel (voltage-gated): When the membrane around the channel reaches a specific polarity it will open.
• Chemical-dependant ion channel (chemical-gated): A chemical, such as a neurotransmitter, causes it to close or open.

Action Potential
• Depolarization– A stimulus causes a gate in the Na+ Channel to
open. Since there is a high concentration of Na+ outside, Na+ diffuses into the neuron. The electrical potential changes to ~ +40 mV.
• Repolarization– Depolarization causes the K+ Channel gate to
immediately open. K+ diffuses out of the neuron. This reestablishes the initial electrical potential of ~ -70 mV.

Action potential
• The depolarization at one spot caused a depolarization at a spot further down the axon.
• Boom boom boom!

Neurotransmitters
• Neurotransmitters: Chemicals produced by a neuron that are sent across the synapse to affect a post-synaptic cell by binding to a receptor.
• The neurotransmitter fits a receptor like a specific key to a lock.

Neurotransmitters
• Excitatory (Excitation): Increases the likelihood of producing an action potential on the post-synaptic cell.– Glutamate, dopamine, norepinephrine,
epinephrine• Inhibitory (inhibition): Decreases the
likelihood of producing an action potential on the post-synaptic cell.– GABA, 5-HT, dopamine, substance p

Psychopharmacology
• antagonist–A drug that opposes or inhibits the effects of
a particular neurotransmitter on the postsynaptic cell.
• agonist–A drug that facilitates the effects of a
particular neurotransmitter on the postsynaptic cell.
