Nervous System Overview Nervous tissue Neuron: nerve cell specialized for carrying signals from one location in the body to another Nerve: bundle of neuron extensions wrapped in connective tissue Brain and Spinal Cord : Central Nervous System Peripheral Nervous System (outside spinal cord)

Animation: Synapse

28.7 Chemical synapses make complex information processing possible A neuron may receive information from hundreds of other neurons via thousands of synaptic terminals Some neurotransmitters excite the receiving cell Other neurotransmitters inhibit the receiving cell's activity by decreasing its ability to develop action potentials If excitatory signals are strong enough to initiate an action potential, a neuron will transmit a signal

LE 28-7 Synaptic terminals Dendrites Inhibitory Excitatory Myelin sheath Receiving cell body Axon Synaptic terminals SEM 5,500

28.8 A variety of small molecules function as neurotransmitters Many small, nitrogen-containing molecules serve as neurotransmitters Acetylcholine Important in brain and at synapses between motor neurons and muscles Biogenic amines Important in central nervous system Seratonin, dopamine

Amino acids Important in central nervous system Peptides Substance P, endorphins influence perception of pain Dissolved gases NO functions during sexual arousal

CONNECTION 28.9 Many drugs act at chemical synapses Many psychoactive drugs act at synapses and affect neurotransmitter action Caffeine Nicotine Alcohol Psychoactive prescription drugs Stimulants THC (marijuana) Opiates

28.11 Vertebrate nervous systems are highly centralized and cephalized Peripheral nervous system (PNS) includes cranial and spinal nerves and ganglia Central nervous system (CNS) made up of spinal cord and brain Spinal cord Inside vertebral column Conveys information from brain Integrates simple responses

Brain, the master control center Homeostatic centers keep body functioning smoothly Sensory centers integrate data from sense organs Can include centers of emotion and intellect Sends motor commands to muscles

28.12 The peripheral nervous system of vertebrates is a functional hierarchy The PNS has two functional components Somatic nervous system Carries signals to and from skeletal muscles Responds mainly to external stimuli Autonomic nervous system Regulates internal environment Controls smooth and cardiac muscle, various organs; involuntary

28.18 Several parts of the brain regulate sleep and arousal Hypothalamus, medulla oblongata, and pons help regulate our sleep/wake cycles Sensory information sent from reticular formation to cortex makes us alert and aware EEG measures electrical activity in the brain during arousal and sleep In REM sleep, brain waves are similar to the awake state; most dreams occur

and temperature receptors LE 28-18a Data to cerebral cortex Input from ears Eye Reticular formation Input from touch, pain, and temperature receptors

LE 28-18c Awake but quiet (alpha waves) Awake during intense mental activity (beta waves) Delta waves REM sleep Delta waves Asleep

28.19 The limbic system is involved in emotions, memory, and learning The limbic system is a group of integrating centers in the cerebral cortex, thalamus, and hypothalamus Amygdala Lays down emotional memories Acts as a memory filter Hippocampus Involved in formation and recall of memories

Thalamus Cerebrum Hypothalamus Prefrontal cortex Smell Olfactory bulb LE 28-19 Thalamus Cerebrum Hypothalamus Prefrontal cortex Smell Olfactory bulb Amygdala Hippocampus

Memory is the ability to store and retrieve information derived from experience Short-term memory: lasts only a few minutes Long-term memory: lasts weeks or longer Information can be transferred from short-term to long-term memory Factual memories are different from skill memories Information processing by the brain involves complex interplay of integrating centers

28.20 Changes in brain physiology can produce neurological disorders Schizophrenia is a severe mental disturbance Characterized by psychotic episodes in which patients lose the ability to distinguish reality Causes unknown, but research is looking for gene for predisposition Treated by drugs that affect the neurotransmitter dopamine

Two broad forms of depressive illness have been identified Major depression leaves a person unable to live a normal life Bipolar disorder is characterized by extreme mood swings Most common treatment is selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs)

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a form of mental deterioration Characterized by confusion, memory loss, and many other symptoms Progressive; usually age related Neurofibrillary tangles and senile plaques destroy neurons in brain Currently no cure

Neurofibrillary tangle LE 28-20b Senile plaque Neurofibrillary tangle

Parkinson's disease is a motor disorder Characterized by difficulty in initiating movements, slowness of movement, and rigidity Progressive; increases with age Symptoms result from death of neurons in midbrain Results from combination of environmental and genetic factors At present, no cure available
