VOLTAGE GATED CHANNELS
Depolarizing conductances
– Excitatory
– Inward sodium and Ca currents
Hyperpolarizing conductances
– Inhibitory
– Primarily mediated by potassium channels
LIGAND GATED SYNAPTIC TRANSMISSION
NEUROTRANSMITTER
These neurotransmitters modulate and regulate the electrical
activity action potential
- Excitatory Neurotransmitter Glutamat, Aspartat
- Inhibitory Neurotransmiter GABA
The action potential is an electrical signal that travels down
the axon, and is created using sodium ions (Na+), and inhibited
by potassium ions (K+).
