Introduction “Neurophilosophy” Glia and Neurons Brain is the origin of mental abilities Glia and Neurons Glia: Insulates, supports, and nourishes neurons Neurons Process information Sense environmental changes Communicate changes to other neurons Command body response

The Neuron Doctrine Histology Study of tissue structure The Nissl Stain Facilitates the study of cytoarchitecture in the CNS

The Neuron Doctrine Golgi-stain (Developed by Camillo Golgi) shows two parts of neurons: Soma and perikaryon Neurites: Axons and dendrites

The Neuron Doctrine Cajal’s Contribution Neuron doctrine Neural circuitry Neurons communicate by contact, not continuity Neuron doctrine Neurons adhere to cell theory Based in Golgi stain

The Prototypical Neuron The Nucleus Gene expression Transcription RNA processing

The Prototypical Neuron The Soma Cytosol: Watery fluid inside the cell Organelles: Membrane-enclosed structures within the soma Cytoplasm: Contents within a cell membrane (e.g., organelles, excluding the nucleus)

The Prototypical Neuron The Soma Major site for protein synthesis Rough endoplasmic reticulum

The Prototypical Neuron The Soma Protein synthesis also on free ribosomes; polyribosomes

The Prototypical Neuron The Soma Smooth ER and Golgi Apparatus Sites for preparing/sorting proteins for delivery to different cell regions (trafficking) and regulating substances

The Prototypical Neuron The Soma Mitochondrion Site of cellular respiration (inhale and exhale) Krebs cycle ATP- cell’s energy source

The Prototypical Neuron The Neuronal Membrane Barrier that encloses cytoplasm ~5 nm thick Protein concentration in membrane varies Structure of discrete membrane regions influences neuronal function

The Prototypical Neuron The Cytoskeleton Not static Internal scaffolding of neuronal membrane Three “bones” Microtubules Microfilaments Neurofilaments

The Prototypical Neuron The Axon Axon hillock (beginning) Axon proper (middle) Axon terminal (end) Differences between axon and soma ER does not extend into axon Protein composition: Unique

The Prototypical Neuron The Axon The Axon Terminal Differences between the cytoplasm of axon terminal and axon No microtubules in terminal Presence of synaptic vesicles Abundance of membrane proteins Large number of mitochondria

The Prototypical Neuron The Axon Synapse Synaptic transmission Electrical-to-chemical-to-electrical transformation Synaptic transmission dysfunction Mental disorders

The Prototypical Neuron The Axon Axoplasmic transport Anterograde (soma to terminal) vs. Retrograde (terminal to soma) transport

The Prototypical Neuron Dendrites “Antennae” of neurons Dendritic tree Synapse - receptors Dendritic spines Postsynaptic (receives signals from axon terminal)

Classifying Neurons Classification Based on the Number of Neurites Single neurite Unipolar Two or more neurites Bipolar- two Multipolar- more than two

Classifying Neurons Classification Based on Dendritic and Somatic Morphologies Stellate cells (star-shaped) and pyramidal cells (pyramid-shaped) Spiny or aspinous

Classifying Neurons Further Classification By connections within the CNS Primary sensory neurons, motor neurons, interneurons Based on axonal length Golgi Type I Golgi Type II Based on neurotransmitter type e.g., – Cholinergic = Acetycholine at synapses

Glia Function of Glia Supports neuronal functions Astrocytes Most numerous glia in the brain Fill spaces between neurons Influence neurite growth Regulate chemical content of extracellular space

Glia Myelinating Glia Oligodendroglia (in CNS) Schwann cells (in PNS) Insulate axons

Glia Myelinating Glia (Cont’d) Oligodendroglial cells Node of Ranvier Region where the axonal membrane is exposed

Glia Other Non-Neuronal Cells Microglia as phagocytes (immune)

Structure Correlates with Function NEURONS Soma Axons Dendrites Synapse Structural characteristics of a neuron tell us about its function e.g., Dense Nissl stain = protein; suggests specialization Elaborate structure of dendritic tree = receiver
