Neurophysiology Study Guide Audience: Intended for everyone interested in Neurophysiology, particularly undergraduate and graduate life science students, medical students, and nursing students.FEATURES:- Fully illustrated- Written in clear, concise format. - Difficult concepts are explained in simple terms. - Navigate from Table of Contents or search for the words or phrases- Access the guide anytime, anywhere - at home, on the train, in the subway. Use your down-time to prepare for an exam. - Always have the guide available for a quick reference. TABLE OF CONTENTS:I. Neurocellular AnatomyNeuron: Axon Dendrite Apical dendrite Dendritic spine Afferent nerve Efferent nerve Sensory nerve Motor nerveAxonal Transport and Growth: Axoplasmic transport Kinesin Dynein Myosin Growth cone Axon guidanceSynapse: Synaptic Vesicles Exocytosis Endocytosis Synaptic plasticity SNARE Synaptobrevin Synapsin NSF Excitatory synapse Inhibitory synapse Electrical synapse Gap junctionTypes of neurons: Pyramidal cell Betz cell Purkinje cell Neuromuscular junction Muscle spindle Golgi organ Motor neuron Sensory neuronGlial cell: Astrocyte Oligodendrocyte Schwann cell Myelin Nodes of RanvierCytoskeleton: Actin Intermediate filament MicrotubuleII. Membranes And TransportMembrane Structure: Fluid mosaic model Detailed StructureMembrane Components: Phospholipids Sphingomyelin Glycolipid Glycocalix CholesterolMovement of Molecules: Diffusion Osmosis Electrochemical gradientPassive transport: Facilitated diffusion Ion channelActive transport: ATP-Dependent Na/K Pump Proton pump Antiporter SymporterIII. Ion ChannelsChannels: Ion channel Gap junctionVoltage-gated: Potassium channel Sodium channel BK channel Inward-rectifier potassium ion channel Resting channels Calcium channelLigand-gated: NMDA receptor AMPA receptor Kainate receptor Nicotinic acetylcholine receptor Glycine receptor GABA receptorOther ion channels: Cyclic nucleotide-gated Stretch-activated G-protein-gated Light-gated Gap junctionIV. Electrical PhenomenaReview: Electrical charge Resistance CapacitanceResting Membrane Potential: Ionic Basis Number of ions involved in generating the resting potential Equilibrium potential Other values of membrane potential Implications Nernst equation Goldman equation Depolarization HyperpolarizationAction Potential: Threshold and initiation Circuit model Propagation Refractory period Evolutionary purpose Nodes of Ranvier Reflex arcPostsynaptic Potential: Excitatory postsynaptic potential Inhibitory postsynaptic potential Spatial summation Temporal summation ShuntingV. Signal TransductionExtracellular Signalling - Neurotransmitters and receptors: Acetylcholine Degradation by acetylcholinesterase Ach Receptors
