SYNAPSE
Raja Md
SYNAPSE
• The site of transmission of electric nerve impulse
between Neuron & Second cell
o NEURONAL JUNCTION
CNS
PNS
• Effector
 Gland
• Neurons
Myoneural junction
Neuromuscular junction
Neuroglandular junction
Axodendritic Synapse
Axosomatic Synapse
Axoaxonic Synapse
 Muscle
• Neuron
CHEMICAL SYNAPSE
• Electrical activity is converted into release of chemicals known as Neurotransmitters.
• Transmission of impulse is one-way
PRESYNAPTIC TERMINAL
POSTSYNAPTIC TERMINAL
SYNAPTIC CLEFT
• contains Receptor sites for neurotransmitters.
• Synaptic gap
• Space between the pre & post - synaptic endings.
• Acts as a junction, connecting two or more neurons.
• 20 – 40 nm wide.
• Terminal boutons or Synaptic bouton
• Contains Neurotransmitters enclosed in small membrane-bound
spheres called Synaptic Vesicles
• Contains organelles, such as Mitochondria and ER
 STRUCTURE
PROCESS OF SYNAPTIC TRANSMISSION
1. Action potential reaches axon terminal
2. Voltage gated calcium channels opens
• There’s a rapid influx of ca 2+
PROCESS OF SYNAPTIC TRANSMISSION
3. Ca 2 + enters & forms Ca 2+-synaptotagmin
• Ca 2 +-synaptotagmin complex displaces
a component of the SNARE & promotes
exocytosis of the Neurotransmitter
4. Neurotransmitters diffuse rapidly across the
synaptic cleft & reach Post – synaptic
membrane
PROCESS OF SYNAPTIC TRANSMISSION
5. Binding of neurotransmitter ligand to receptor
protein causes chemical regulated ion channels to
open
• when opened, they produce a graded
change in the membrane potential
known as a GRADED POTENTIAL
• Influx of Na+ or Ca2+
• Produces a Graded Depolarization
• Inside of the postsynaptic membrane becomes
less negative
• Membrane potential moves toward the
threshold required for action potential.
• Influx of cl-
• Produces a Graded Hyperpolarization
• Inside of the postsynaptic membrane
becomes More negative
• Membrane potential moves away from the
threshold required for action potential.
 EXCITATORY POSTSYNAPTIC POTENTIAL (EPSP)  INHIBITORY POSTSYNAPTIC POTENTIAL (IPSP)
SUMMATION
 The process that determines whether or not an action potential will be generated by the combined effects
of excitatory & inhibitory signals
 There are 2 types :-
NEURAL CIRCUITS
• one pre-synaptic
neuron terminates into
many post-synaptic
neurons
• Many pre-synaptic
neuron terminates into
one post-synaptic
neuron
DIVERGENCE CONVERGENCE
SYNAPTIC PLASTICITY
• Ability of synapses to strengthen or weaken over time, in response to increases or decreases in their
activity
• Both pre-synaptic and post-synaptic mechanisms can contribute to the expression of synaptic plasticity
LONG-TERM POTENTIATION (LTP)
• persistent strengthening of synapses based on recent
patterns of activity. These are patterns of synaptic activity
that produce a long-lasting increase in signal
transmission between two neurons.
LONG-TERM DEPRESSION (LTD)
• Activity-dependent reduction in the efficacy of
neuronal synapses lasting hours or longer following a
long patterned stimulus
Dependent on a rise in Ca2+
concentration within the postsynaptic
neuron
• rapid rise in [Ca2 +] causes LTP
• Smaller & prolonged rise in the [Ca2+] causes (LTD)
FUNCTIONNEUROTRANSMITTERS
EXCITATORY NEUROTRANSMITTERS
INHIBITORY NEUROTRANSMITTERS
i. Acetylcholine
ii. Norepinephrine
iii. Dopamine
i. Serotonin
ii. GABA (γ aminobutyric acid)
iii. Glycine
ELECTRICAL SYNAPSE
LOCATION
Mechanical & Electrically link between neurons that is
formed by Gap Junction between the pre- & postsynaptic
neurons, which are separated by only 2 nanometres.
NEURAL SYSTEMS
• Allowing Myocardium to contract as a unit
• Allowing many cells to contract together, producing a stronger
contraction
• uterus during labour
• Rapid
• Bidirectional
• Synchronized
IMPULSE
• requiring fastest possible response
• Defensive reflexes
CARDIAC MUSCLE
SMOOTH MUSCLES
DISEASES ASSOCIATED WITH SYNAPTIC ALTERATIONS
Autism Spectrum Disorder • Alterations at the synaptic level causes
pathogenesis of this disease.
• Mutations affecting the adhesion molecules in the
synaptic cells.
Fragile X Syndrome: Mental Retardation • Alterations in synapse development and function.
Alzheimer’s Disease • A-beta amyloid formed inAlzheimer’s disease can
cause a significant decrease in synaptic plasticity.
• Decreased number of synapses in hippocampus,
cerebral cortex & subcortical regions of the
brain.
o The patients have the common symptoms of lack of
social communication & delay of language &
stereotypy.
o Most common form of mental retardation
o disease is characterized by reduced intellectual ability,
anxiety, hyperactivity, developmental delay and
hypersensitivity to stimuli
o It is a neurodegenerative disorder affecting people in
their older age

Synapse

  • 2. SYNAPSE • The site of transmission of electric nerve impulse between Neuron & Second cell o NEURONAL JUNCTION CNS PNS • Effector  Gland • Neurons Myoneural junction Neuromuscular junction Neuroglandular junction Axodendritic Synapse Axosomatic Synapse Axoaxonic Synapse  Muscle • Neuron
  • 3.
  • 4. CHEMICAL SYNAPSE • Electrical activity is converted into release of chemicals known as Neurotransmitters. • Transmission of impulse is one-way PRESYNAPTIC TERMINAL POSTSYNAPTIC TERMINAL SYNAPTIC CLEFT • contains Receptor sites for neurotransmitters. • Synaptic gap • Space between the pre & post - synaptic endings. • Acts as a junction, connecting two or more neurons. • 20 – 40 nm wide. • Terminal boutons or Synaptic bouton • Contains Neurotransmitters enclosed in small membrane-bound spheres called Synaptic Vesicles • Contains organelles, such as Mitochondria and ER  STRUCTURE
  • 5. PROCESS OF SYNAPTIC TRANSMISSION 1. Action potential reaches axon terminal 2. Voltage gated calcium channels opens • There’s a rapid influx of ca 2+
  • 6. PROCESS OF SYNAPTIC TRANSMISSION 3. Ca 2 + enters & forms Ca 2+-synaptotagmin • Ca 2 +-synaptotagmin complex displaces a component of the SNARE & promotes exocytosis of the Neurotransmitter 4. Neurotransmitters diffuse rapidly across the synaptic cleft & reach Post – synaptic membrane
  • 7. PROCESS OF SYNAPTIC TRANSMISSION 5. Binding of neurotransmitter ligand to receptor protein causes chemical regulated ion channels to open • when opened, they produce a graded change in the membrane potential known as a GRADED POTENTIAL • Influx of Na+ or Ca2+ • Produces a Graded Depolarization • Inside of the postsynaptic membrane becomes less negative • Membrane potential moves toward the threshold required for action potential. • Influx of cl- • Produces a Graded Hyperpolarization • Inside of the postsynaptic membrane becomes More negative • Membrane potential moves away from the threshold required for action potential.  EXCITATORY POSTSYNAPTIC POTENTIAL (EPSP)  INHIBITORY POSTSYNAPTIC POTENTIAL (IPSP)
  • 8. SUMMATION  The process that determines whether or not an action potential will be generated by the combined effects of excitatory & inhibitory signals  There are 2 types :-
  • 9. NEURAL CIRCUITS • one pre-synaptic neuron terminates into many post-synaptic neurons • Many pre-synaptic neuron terminates into one post-synaptic neuron DIVERGENCE CONVERGENCE
  • 10. SYNAPTIC PLASTICITY • Ability of synapses to strengthen or weaken over time, in response to increases or decreases in their activity • Both pre-synaptic and post-synaptic mechanisms can contribute to the expression of synaptic plasticity LONG-TERM POTENTIATION (LTP) • persistent strengthening of synapses based on recent patterns of activity. These are patterns of synaptic activity that produce a long-lasting increase in signal transmission between two neurons. LONG-TERM DEPRESSION (LTD) • Activity-dependent reduction in the efficacy of neuronal synapses lasting hours or longer following a long patterned stimulus Dependent on a rise in Ca2+ concentration within the postsynaptic neuron • rapid rise in [Ca2 +] causes LTP • Smaller & prolonged rise in the [Ca2+] causes (LTD)
  • 11. FUNCTIONNEUROTRANSMITTERS EXCITATORY NEUROTRANSMITTERS INHIBITORY NEUROTRANSMITTERS i. Acetylcholine ii. Norepinephrine iii. Dopamine i. Serotonin ii. GABA (γ aminobutyric acid) iii. Glycine
  • 12. ELECTRICAL SYNAPSE LOCATION Mechanical & Electrically link between neurons that is formed by Gap Junction between the pre- & postsynaptic neurons, which are separated by only 2 nanometres. NEURAL SYSTEMS • Allowing Myocardium to contract as a unit • Allowing many cells to contract together, producing a stronger contraction • uterus during labour • Rapid • Bidirectional • Synchronized IMPULSE • requiring fastest possible response • Defensive reflexes CARDIAC MUSCLE SMOOTH MUSCLES
  • 13. DISEASES ASSOCIATED WITH SYNAPTIC ALTERATIONS Autism Spectrum Disorder • Alterations at the synaptic level causes pathogenesis of this disease. • Mutations affecting the adhesion molecules in the synaptic cells. Fragile X Syndrome: Mental Retardation • Alterations in synapse development and function. Alzheimer’s Disease • A-beta amyloid formed inAlzheimer’s disease can cause a significant decrease in synaptic plasticity. • Decreased number of synapses in hippocampus, cerebral cortex & subcortical regions of the brain. o The patients have the common symptoms of lack of social communication & delay of language & stereotypy. o Most common form of mental retardation o disease is characterized by reduced intellectual ability, anxiety, hyperactivity, developmental delay and hypersensitivity to stimuli o It is a neurodegenerative disorder affecting people in their older age

Editor's Notes

  1. Binds to a protein & the complex is formed in the cytoplasm complex which serves as a Ca 2 + sensor
  2. Binds to a protein & the complex is formed in the cytoplasm complex which serves as a Ca 2 + sensor XXX the docked vesicles are bound to the plasma membrane of the presynaptic axon by complexes of three SNARE proteins that bridge the vesicles and plasma membrane
  3. PSPs due to the activity of individual synapses are usually well below the threshold for generating postsynaptic action potentials
