Synapses and Transmission
https://www.nexusnewsfeed.com/article/health-healing/amanda-feilding-has-spent-54-
years-experimenting-with-psychedelics-for-the-sake-of-science/
Learning Objectives
• Compare and contrast excitatory and
inhibitory postsynaptic potentials and
temporal and spatial summation
• Identify the structures of and explain the
events that occur during chemical synaptic
transmission
• Describe the functions of common
neurotransmitters and identify them as
primarily excitatory or inhibitory

Amanda Feilding
• Founder of the Beckley
Foundation which supports
neurological research on the
use of psychedelics for the
treatment of mental health
disorders including
depression, anxiety, and
addiction
• Also studies the effects of
cannabis and LSD on mental
health https://www.beckleyfoundation.

How does psilocin work?
What does psilocin look like?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psilocin
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serotonin
Psilocin Serotonin
What do you think psilocin does?
Acts as an agonist to serotonin and influences
serotonin’s effects in the synaptic cleft
What happens at the synapse?
A – Depolarization opens voltage-gated calcium
channels
B – Neurotransmitters bind to receptors on
postsynaptic neuron
C – The signal is terminated
D – An action potential signal from a presynaptic
axon arrives at synaptic terminals
E – Neurotransmitters are released into synaptic
cleft
Put events in correct order
DAEBC
What are two
ways that the
signal can be
terminated?
Enzymatic
breakdown
Reuptake by
transporters
Credit: OpenStax
What best explains what is happening
in the green regions of the graph?
A – Depolarizations occur
due to summation of
EPSPs
B – Hyperpolarizations
occur due to summation
of EPSPs
C – Depolarizations occur
due to summation of IPSPs
D – Hyperpolarizations
occur due to summation
of IPSPs
Credit: Openstax
What would happen if a drug caused
GABA’s effects to be magnified?
A – Fewer IPSPs
would be generated
B – More IPSPs would
be generated
C – Fewer EPSPs
would be generated
D – More EPSPs
would be generated

This is how alcohol works!
Psilocin acts as a serotonin agonist. Where
would psilocin act on this diagram?
Credit: Openstax
Credit: Openstax
Specifically, psilocin targets the
serotonin 5-HT2A receptor, which is a
type of GPCR
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
5-HT2A_receptor
Activation of 5-HT2A 
hallucinogenic effects
