NEURON§ Over 100 billion neurons in the brain and spinal cord; represents over 965 km. in length
§ Excitable: Receives stimuli and transmits impulses by electrical and chemical means, up to 100 meters/second
§ Neurons transmit sensory information towards the CNS, and motor information away from the CNS to effectors (muscle, gland)
§ Transmission: unidirectional, all-or-none action potentials

NEUROTRANSMITTERS
u Neurotransmitters act to carry a message from the axonal end of a neuron across the synapse to another neuron, muscle cell, or gland
u Response of the post-synaptic cell is either stimulation or inhibition of post-synaptic transmission of impulse
EXAMPLES:
u Norepinephrine (adrenaline)
u Acetylcholine
u Dopamine
u Serotonin
u GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid)
u Endorphins

‘NEW’ UNDERSTANDING OF THE BRAIN
u NEUROPLASTICITY vs. a locationist view of the brain
u ‘The ability of the brain to form and reorganize synaptic connections, especially in response to learning or experience or following injury’
u Lifelong capacity though plasticity is most highly reflected during early development of the brain
u Debate surrounds whether new neurons can be ‘born’ and integrated into the hippocampus of human brains after infancy

Normal Aging of the Nervous System
u Gradual decrease in sensory neurons
u Decreased position sense affecting balance and coordination
u Reduced sensations of thirst, objects in the throat, urine in the bladder, and feces in the rectum
u General gradual decline in # motor neurons, leads to reduced muscle mass (age 60+)
u Slowed reflexes
u Slight decrease in short term memory after age 70+
u Long term memory may even improve
u Sleep changesThis Photo by Unknown Author is licensed under CC BY-SA

COMPARISON: ACUTE AND CHRONIC PAIN
u Purposeful, warning sign of danger
u Associated with muscle spasm and sympathetic nervous system response
u Usually a NORMAL response to inflammation, tissue injury, disease process
u Self-limited until healing, or resolution of the disease
u If treated effectively, pain goes away in days or weeks as healing proceeds
u No biologic purpose
u Disease of ‘pain’
u May result from inadequate relief of acute pain, influenced by physical and psychological factors
u No end-point
u Elicits on-going stress response
u Treatment must be multi-modal, involving multi-disciplinary team
