Essential idea: Neurons transmit the message, synapses modulate the message. 6.5 Neurons and synapses By Chris Paine https://bioknowledgy.weebly.com/ The image shows a tiny segment of a human brain the lines show neurons and the dots show synapses. The image is intended to illustrate both the how complex even a small mammal's brain is and additionally how important the synapses between neurons are; it is the synapses that drive communication and conscious thought. With the exception of the memory centre the number of cells in the human brain does not increase after birth, what increase is the number of connections and hence synapses between neurons. http://med.stanford.edu/mcp/_jcr_content/hero/hero_banner/images/imageSlide8.img.620.high.jpg

6.5.U1 Neurons transmit electrical impulses. Schwan cell
Slide 5-

6.5.U5 Nerve impulses are action potentials propagated along the axons of neurons. http://outreach.mcb.harvard.edu/animations/actionpotential_short.swf
Slide 6-

6.5.U3 Neurons pump sodium and potassium ions across their membranes to generate a resting potential. Plasma membrane is 50 times more permeable to K+ ions than Na+ n.b. proteins inside the nerve fiber are negatively charged which increases the charge imbalance. -70mV

6.5.S1 Analysis of oscilloscope traces showing resting potentials and action potentials. https://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/neuron Use the PhET simulation to build an understanding of resting and action potentials and how they relate to the voltage changes in the axon membrane. The neuron lab worksheet activity acts as a guide for the investigation: https://phet.colorado.edu/en/contributions/view/3608 Investigate how neurons generate electrical impulses

6.5.U2 The myelination of nerve fibres allows for saltatory conduction. http://cnx.org/resources/1a264d4943c1148665b7216c649d72ad774fc80b/Figure_35_02_05.jpg http://antranik.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/conduction-in-a-myelinated-nerve-fiber-saltatory-conduction.jpg myelination and saltatory conduction *The jump along the axon is actually just the very rapid conduction inside the myelinated portion of the axon. As myelin acts as an insulator myelinated axons only allow action potentials to occur at the unmyelinated nodes of Ranvier. This forces the the action potential to jump* from node to node (saltatory conduction). The result of this is that the impulse travels much more quickly (up to 200 m/s) along myelinated axons compared to unmyelinated axons (2 m/s). Saltatory conduction from node to node also reduces degradation of the impulse and hence allows the impulse to travel longer distances than impulses in unmyelinated axons. The myelin sheath also reduces energy expenditure over the axon as the quantity of sodium and potassium ions that need to be pumped to restore resting potential is less than that of a un-myelintated axon

6.5.U7 Synapses are junctions between neurons and between neurons and receptor or effector cells. To function the nervous system needs to receive input/stimuli and then to coordinate a response to it. For this to happen impulses need to travel from sensory receptor cells via a series of nerve cells to effectors, which are commonly muscles and glands. There are junctions between each cell called synapses across which impulses cannot travel. A special group of molecules called neurotransmitters move across the synapse to effect an impulse in the adjacent cell.

6.5.U8 When presynaptic neurons are depolarized they release a neurotransmitter into the synapse. AND 6.5.U9 A nerve impulse is only initiated if the threshold potential is reached.

6.5.A1 Secretion and reabsorption of acetylcholine by neurons at synapses. http://faculty.pasadena.edu/dkwon/chap%208_files/images/image61.png Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter used in many synapses through the nervous system One use is at the neuromuscular junction, i.e. it is the molecule that motor neurons release to activate muscles. Interfering with the action of acetylcholine can cause a range of effect from paralysis to convulsions.

Nature of science: Cooperation and collaboration between groups of scientists - biologists are contributing to research into memory and learning. (4.3) Gero Miesenböck FRS Waynflete Professor of Physiology, Wellcome Investigator Martin Booth Professor of Engineering Science Tim Vogels Sir Henry Dale Fellow (physicsist) Stephen Goodwin Professor of Neurogenetics, Wellcome Investigator Korneel Hens Group Leader (Biochemist) Scott Waddell Professor of Neurobiology, Wellcome Trust Senior Research Fellow in Basic Biomedical Sciences http://www.cncb.ox.ac.uk/team/ Nowadays scientists often work in multidisciplinary teams for example the Centre for Neural Circuits and Behaviour (CNCB) The aim of the CNCB is to understand how intelligence emerges from the physical interaction of nerve cells. Studying the brain from this top-down approach to answer such fundamental questions requires techniques and understanding from a range of disciplines.
