Neurotransmitters are chemicals located and released in the brain that allow communication between neurons. They gather in the space between neurons called the synapse and act on receptors on the receiving neuron. Some key neurotransmitters include acetylcholine, which triggers muscle contraction and is involved in wakefulness; dopamine, which controls movement and modulates mood; GABA, which regulates anxiety; and glutamate, which is associated with learning and memory. Scientists have identified over 60 molecules that meet the criteria to be considered neurotransmitters.

Neurotransmitters
This document discusses neurotransmitters and how they transmit signals between neurons in the brain and body. It begins by defining neurotransmitters as brain chemicals that communicate information throughout the brain and body. It then describes the basic structure of a neuron with dendrites, a cell body, and an axon. Neurotransmitters are produced in the cell body and travel down the axon to be released at presynaptic terminals into the synaptic cleft between neurons. They can then activate receptors on the receiving neuron. There are inhibitory neurotransmitters like GABA and serotonin that decrease neural activity, and excitatory neurotransmitters like acetylcholine, norepinephrine, and histamine that increase neural activity. The document provides examples of important neurotransmitters and their

Neurotransmitters and their role
Neurotransmitters are chemical messengers that transmit signals between neurons. The document discusses several major neurotransmitters - acetylcholine, serotonin, histamine, glutamate, GABA, glycine, aspartate, dopamine, and norepinephrine. It describes the receptors they act on, whether they are excitatory or inhibitory, their roles in various body systems and mental processes, and how imbalances can relate to conditions like depression, anxiety, and Parkinson's disease. The document also mentions neuropeptides like endorphins that modulate pain, and recent research exploring links between brain and urinary neurotransmitter levels.
Neuron
Neurons transmit signals through structures called synapses. There are two main types of synapses - chemical and electrical. In a chemical synapse, signals pass via neurotransmitter molecules released by the presynaptic neuron into the synaptic cleft. This can cause an excitatory postsynaptic potential in the postsynaptic neuron. Electrical synapses allow direct ion flow between neurons through gap junctions, allowing faster signal transmission but in both directions. Neurons are classified based on their structure and function, with motor neurons carrying signals from the CNS to effectors and sensory neurons carrying signals to the CNS.
Pineal gland
The pineal gland, also called the epiphysis cerebri, is a pine cone shaped endocrine gland located in the brain. It produces important hormones like melatonin that influence sleep-wake cycles and sexual development. The pineal gland contains pinealocytes that secrete melatonin and converts signals from the sympathetic nervous system into hormone signals. With age, the pineal gland accumulates calcified deposits called corpora arenacea or brain sand.
Acetylcholine
Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter that functions in both the peripheral and central nervous systems. It is synthesized from choline and acetyl-CoA by the enzyme cholinesterase and is broken down by acetylcholinesterase. Acetylcholine is distributed throughout the body, including in muscles, nerves, the brain, and at neuromuscular junctions. It is stored in vesicles and released into the synaptic cleft upon arrival of an action potential.
Neurotransmitters
The document discusses neurotransmitters and how they facilitate communication between neurons in the brain. It describes how neurotransmitters are synthesized and released by neurons, binding to receptors on other neurons. Major neurotransmitters discussed include dopamine, norepinephrine, serotonin, acetylcholine, GABA, and glutamate. The roles of these neurotransmitters in regulating various physiological functions and mental disorders are summarized. Brain imaging techniques like CT, MRI, PET, and SPECT are also overviewed along with their abilities to produce structural or functional images and limitations.
Neurotransmitter receptors
Ionotropic receptors include nicotinic acetylcholine receptors activated by nicotine, and glutamate receptors including AMPA, NMDA, and kainate receptors. NMDA receptors require both glutamate and glycine to open the channel. GABA receptors have binding sites for substances like picrotoxin, benzodiazepines, and barbiturates. Metabotropic receptors are G-protein coupled receptors where neurotransmitter binding activates G proteins, which then activate effector proteins to produce intracellular messengers that can gate ion channels. At the synapse, an action potential causes calcium influx and vesicle fusion, releasing neurotransmitters that can produce excitatory or inhibitory postsynaptic potentials depending on the receptor and

Psychology endocrine system
Endocrine glands secrete hormones directly into the bloodstream to affect functioning and growth in specific parts of the body. The thyroid gland, located in the neck, secretes thyroxine to regulate metabolism. Disorders include hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, and goiter. Parathyroid glands regulate calcium levels in the blood. The thymus gland stimulates growth and suppresses early sexual development. Adrenal glands are located above the kidneys and consist of an inner medulla and outer cortex. The medulla secretes epinephrine and norepinephrine to help cope with stress while the cortex secretes hormones like cortisol.

2) It outlines the basic parts and functions of individual neurons, including dendrites, cell body, axon, myelin sheath, and how they communicate via action potentials and neurotransmitters at synapses.
3) It provides a high-level overview of the main parts and divisions of the nervous system, including the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord), peripheral nervous system, and sympathetic and parasympathetic
Neurotransmitters
The document discusses neurotransmitters and their roles in synapses and psychostimulant addiction. It describes how neurotransmitters like dopamine, serotonin, and glutamate are involved in the "reward pathway" in the brain and can be impacted by addictive drugs. Several studies discussed used animal models to explore strategies for modulating neurotransmitters like dopamine to potentially help treat or reduce psychostimulant addiction in humans. However, more research is still needed to prove these strategies would be effective for treating addiction in people.
Neurotransmitters
The document discusses neurotransmitters and their role in psychostimulant addiction. It describes how neurotransmitters like dopamine work at synapses between neurons and how drugs can affect these neurotransmitters. Specifically, it explains that psychostimulant drugs increase dopamine levels in the brain's reward system and how this leads to addiction. The document also summarizes studies that tested strategies for manipulating dopamine receptors and transporters to potentially treat addiction by blocking the drugs' effects on the brain's reward system.
Drugs and the brain
This document discusses how drugs and alcohol work in the brain by interacting with neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin. It explains that drugs can mimic neurotransmitters, stimulate their release, or prevent their reuptake. While drugs may temporarily change mood or perception, they can also cause long-term brain damage and addiction. However, natural activities like exercise, meditation, helping others, and hobbies can also elevate mood through neurotransmitters without harm. Making natural highs a regular part of life may help reduce reliance on drugs and alcohol for their perceived benefits.

Presentation net neutrality updated December 2017
Net neutrality ensures equal access to all online content without throttling by internet service providers (ISPs). In December 2017, net neutrality protections were removed, allowing ISPs to potentially block or slow certain websites or apps. This could negatively impact consumers by creating fast and slow internet lanes that charge more for preferred access or favor certain companies that pay higher fees. Without net neutrality, ISPs have more control over online content and could impact what information people access.

An introduction to diabetes
This document provides an overview of diabetes, including the different types. It explains that diabetes is a metabolic disease where blood glucose levels are too high due to the body either not producing enough insulin or not properly responding to insulin. The four main types of diabetes are prediabetes, type 1, type 2, and gestational diabetes. Type 1 is an autoimmune disease where the pancreas produces little to no insulin, type 2 is most common where the body becomes resistant to insulin, and gestational occurs in some pregnant women. Symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, and risks of untreated diabetes are also outlined.
An end to net neutrality
The FCC is proposing new rules that would allow internet service providers to create fast lanes and slow lanes, allowing them to charge companies like Netflix more for priority access in the fast lane. This could create tiers of internet access and favor some companies that pay over others. Supporters argue it increases competition, while opponents argue it is unfair to consumers and hurts innovation from smaller companies. The White House and internet companies like Netflix support stronger net neutrality rules that classify ISPs as common carriers under Title II.

Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis is a chronic disease that causes the breakdown of cartilage in a joint, resulting in bones rubbing together and causing pain. It has two types - primary osteoarthritis associated with aging and wear and tear, and secondary osteoarthritis that can develop early in life due to injury or obesity. Risk factors include age, sex, injuries, obesity, and certain diseases. Exercise, especially moderate aerobic exercise and strength training focused on the hips and knees, can help reduce symptoms by decreasing inflammation and pain while improving mobility.

Bitcoin
Bitcoin is an electronic currency that began in 2009 and relies on a network of computers to verify transactions without a central authority. The value of bitcoin is highly volatile and dependent on user confidence. Bitcoins can be used to purchase goods online from some retailers and are stored in virtual wallets with unique keys. The collapse of Mt. Gox, a major bitcoin exchange, in 2014 demonstrated issues with unregulated currency when over $450 million in bitcoins went missing due to theft. Better regulation of exchanges may help bitcoin gain mainstream acceptance.
Review of brain plasticity
Brain plasticity refers to the brain's ability to change and form new connections through learning. Engaging in mentally stimulating activities like learning a new skill, taking challenging classes, or playing music can improve brain plasticity. Real-life examples show how activities like learning directions or an instrument can physically change the brain's structure. While positive plasticity occurs through learning, negative plasticity can happen from habits like inactivity, disengagement, or negative learning patterns. The document recommends choosing novel, engaging, rewarding, and meaningful activities to improve brain plasticity and protect cognitive abilities.
Depression
Depression is a whole body illness that affects both physical and emotional health. It influences factors like eating, sleeping, working, and relationships. There are several types of depression including major depressive disorder, dysthymic disorder, minor depression, psychotic depression, postpartum depression, and seasonal affective disorder. Clinical depression is diagnosed when 5 or more symptoms are present most days, such as sadness, loss of interest, feelings of worthlessness, changes in appetite or sleep, and thoughts of death or suicide. Depression is caused by a combination of genetic, biological, environmental, and psychological factors and can run in families. It is treated through medication, psychotherapy, electroconvulsive therapy, and lifestyle changes.
5 technologies that have changed our lives
5 technologies that have changed our lives are email, iPods, smartphones, Facebook and other social media, and Skype. Email allows communication without barriers of distance or time but lacks personalization. iPods store vast music libraries portably but reduce aesthetic album experiences. Smartphones integrate computer functions into phones, enabling constant connectivity but reducing eye contact. Facebook and social media enable immediate sharing and connections but risk oversharing and lack of time. Skype enables video calls internationally but can feel intrusive with spotty connections. Emerging technologies discussed include Google Glass, smartwatches, geolocation services, 3D printing, and Google Fiber's ultra-fast internet.

Neurotransmitters
- 2. Definition of Neurotransmitters Chemicals located and released in the brain which allows communication from nerve cell to nerve cell.
- 3. Synapses There is a space between the two neurons called a synapse. It is in this space that the neurotransmitters gather, ultimately to the receptors on the other neuron.
- 4. Some famous neurotransmitters Acetylcholine: Excitatory neurotransmitter Triggers muscle contraction & release of some hormones Involved in wakefulness, attentiveness, anger, aggression, sexuality Dopamine Inhibitory transmitter Involved in controlling movement & posture Modulates mood Involved in positive reinforcement & dependency
- 5. More famous transmitters GABA Inhibitory neurotransmitters Contributes to motor control, vision and cortical function Regulates anxiety Glutamate Excitatory neurotransmitter Associated with learning and memory
- 6. And more neurotransmitters Norepinephrine Important for attentiveness, emotions, sleeping, dreaming & learning Also causes blood vessels to contract and HR to increase Plays role in mood disorders Serotonin Contributes to functions such as body temperature regulation, sleep, mood, appetite and pain.
- 7. Scientists have identified over 60 different molecules that meet criteria to be considered neurotransmitters.
