Training Objectives Understand important components of the brain Learn how to navigate thru the various functions and interactions of the brain with the lymphatic system and other parts of your body Why your metabolism has a greater influence on the health of your brain How you can slow down the aging process of your brain Q&A

Major components of the brain Neurons and neurotransmitter Vascular system and the Blood Brain Barrier (BBB) Developments about how the brain works and the aging process

Neurotransmitters Click here for more information about neurotransmitters Neurons must be able to communicate with each other they do this by passing on signals. There are two types of ways neurons signal one another, both result in a charge flowing from one neuron to the next. Neurotransmitters are one way neurons signal each other. One neuron releases a “neurotransmitter” and the other neuron has special receptors that bind to the transmitter thus sending information. There are hundreds of neurotransmitters below are just a few. This is a picture of three neurons, each neuron is connected to at LEAST one other neuron. The zoomed in portion shows how neurotransmitters are released from one neuron and bind to the next. Serotonin Dopamine Epinephrine Acetylcholine Image from: http://www.besttreatments.co.uk/btuk/images/epilepsy_neurotransmitter.gif Click here to see an animation of neurotransmitters in action.

Neutransmitter Carry messages Changes the structure of the synapse Communicates by sending reverse-direction messages which impacts release or reuptake of transmitters

Major neurotransmitter Amino acids: glutamate,[4] aspartate, D-serine, γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA), glycine Gasotransmitters: nitric oxide (NO), carbon monoxide (CO), hydrogen sulfide (H2S) Monoamines: dopamine (DA), norepinephrine (noradrenaline; NE, NA), epinephrine (adrenaline), histamine, serotonin (SER, 5-HT) Trace amines: phenethylamine, N-methylphenethylamine, tyramine, 3- iodothyronamine, octopamine, tryptamine, etc. Peptides: somatostatin, substance P, cocaine and amphetamine regulated transcript, opioid peptides[9] Purines: adenosine triphosphate (ATP), adenosine Others: acetylcholine (ACh), anandamide, etc
