Dales Law
• Only one type of neurotransmitter in released at one synapse
1 Excitatory
2 Inhibitory
![Page 6: Properties of Synapse Dr Ghulam Mustafa Learning objective’s Discuss the properties of synapse Or Describe the factors affecting synaptic transmission](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062905/5a4d1add7f8b9ab0599759fd/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
One-way conduction
• Synapses generally permit conduction of
impulses in one-way i.e.
– from pre-synaptic to
– post-synaptic neuron.
![Page 7: Properties of Synapse Dr Ghulam Mustafa Learning objective’s Discuss the properties of synapse Or Describe the factors affecting synaptic transmission](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062905/5a4d1add7f8b9ab0599759fd/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Spatial Summation in Neurons• Excitation of a single presynaptic terminal??
– 0.5 to 1 millivolt• 10 to 20 millivolts - required to reach threshold• Many presynaptic terminals are
usually stimulated at the same time.• Add to one another until neuronal excitation• Spatial summation
– Summing simultaneous postsynaptic potentials by activating multiple terminals on widely spaced areas of the neuronal membrane
![Page 8: Properties of Synapse Dr Ghulam Mustafa Learning objective’s Discuss the properties of synapse Or Describe the factors affecting synaptic transmission](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062905/5a4d1add7f8b9ab0599759fd/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Temporal Summation• A presynaptic terminal fire
– changed postsynaptic potential – lasts up to 15 milliseconds
• Second opening of the same channels -increase the postsynaptic potential to - still greater level
• Successive discharges from a single presynaptic terminal
• Rapid enough- add to one another• This type of summation is called Temporal
summation.

Facilitation of Neurons
• If the summated postsynaptic potential is excitatory………….
• But has not risen high enough to reach the threshold
• The neuron is said to be facilitated.• Another excitatory signal - excite the neuron
very easily

![Page 11: Properties of Synapse Dr Ghulam Mustafa Learning objective’s Discuss the properties of synapse Or Describe the factors affecting synaptic transmission](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062905/5a4d1add7f8b9ab0599759fd/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Fatigue of Synaptic Transmission.
• When excitatory synapses are repetitively stimulated at a rapid rate
• Number of discharges by the postsynaptic neuron is at first very great
• But the firing rate becomes progressively less in succeeding milliseconds or seconds.
• Fatigue of synaptic transmission.• Protective mechanism
– Against excess neuronal activity •Prevent over excitation
![Page 12: Properties of Synapse Dr Ghulam Mustafa Learning objective’s Discuss the properties of synapse Or Describe the factors affecting synaptic transmission](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062905/5a4d1add7f8b9ab0599759fd/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Mechanism Of Fatigue
• Exhaustion or partial exhaustion of the stores
of transmitter substance
• Progressive inactivation of many of the
postsynaptic membrane receptors
• Slow development of abnormal conc. of ions
inside the postsynaptic neuronal cell
![Page 13: Properties of Synapse Dr Ghulam Mustafa Learning objective’s Discuss the properties of synapse Or Describe the factors affecting synaptic transmission](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062905/5a4d1add7f8b9ab0599759fd/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Effect of Acidosis or Alkalosis on Synaptic Transmission.
• Neurons are highly responsive to changes in pH
• Alkalosis greatly increases neuronal excitability– 8.0 often causes cerebral epileptic seizures
• Acidosis greatly depresses neuronal activity;– a fall in pH from 7.4 to below 7.0
– Severe diabetic or uremic acidosis,
– Coma

Effect of Hypoxia
• Neuronal excitability is also highly dependent on
an adequate supply of oxygen.
• Cessation of oxygen for only a few seconds can
cause complete inexcitability of some neurons
– If Brain’s blood flow is temporarily interrupted,
– Within 3 to 7 seconds, the person becomes unconscious.

Effect of DrugsStimulants:• Caffeine, Theophylline, and Theobromine,
– found in coffee, tea, and cocoa • By reducing the threshold for excitation of
neurons.• Strychnine inhibits the action of some
inhibitory transmitter substancesInhibitory • Most Anesthetics increase the neuronal
membrane threshold for excitation

Synaptic delayIs the minimum time required for Is the minimum time required for transmission across the synapsetransmission across the synapse
the synaptic delay 0.5 millisecond. This time is taken by• Discharge of transmitter substance by pre-
synaptic terminal• Diffusion of transmitter to post-synaptic
membrane• Action of transmitter on its receptor• Action of transmitter to membrane permeability• Increased diffusion of Na+ to post-synaptic
potential

Convergence
When many
pre-synaptic neurons
converge on
any single
post-synaptic neuron
![Page 19: Properties of Synapse Dr Ghulam Mustafa Learning objective’s Discuss the properties of synapse Or Describe the factors affecting synaptic transmission](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062905/5a4d1add7f8b9ab0599759fd/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Divergence
Axons of most
pre-synaptic neurons divide into many
branches that diverge
to end on many post-synaptic neurons.
