01:14 About the neurotransmitter will be um influenced what subtype of the cell and how

01:24 releases the neurotransmitter. In this the inhibitor neurotransmitter as well as the

01:28 synaptic responses. So we already have how there is a great diversity in

01:33 inhibitor into neurons and in particular, the functional, what I call dialect

01:42 of these cells. So there's a variety of inhibitory interneurons. This is

01:48 diversity of inhibitory interneurons and neocortex and very close proximity within the same patch

01:56 neural network that here it doesn't have many cells. Maybe it has hundreds

02:00 thousands of cells, you will find subtypes of neurons that will produce these

02:06 frequencies of action potential, not only but also certain patterns of action

02:14 And what we've learned last lecture, talked about the unitary EP SBS and

02:21 talked about how a release or activation a single synapse and c single DeCicco

02:27 in a small epsp. So if look at the pattern of these inhibitor

02:33 , that pattern pre synaptic pattern of potentials will determine the presynaptic pattern of

02:42 fusion and neurotransmitter release. And therefore posy pattern in the neuronal response.

02:50 very simple terms. So this is presynaptic cell and this is postsynaptic

02:59 And if we're reporting a pattern from po synaptic cell and the pattern in

03:05 pre synaptic cell is something like this action potentials, it's very likely the

03:14 that we're gonna report from the cell gonna look maybe something like this that

03:23 essentially and it's a bad way to this. Maybe the best way to

03:29 this like this. So this is be presynaptic or is that the sequences

03:38 action photo Charles we would see. example, we said that that would

03:45 , this is pre syllabic and this the apo synoptic. So, epsb

03:53 example, this is excited for Now, if this is pre synaptic

04:01 releases excitatory neurotransmitter, glutamate or it's gonna cause this pattern of up

04:10 if we're gonna have presynaptic neurons and diversity of these presynaptic neurons. So

04:18 is presynaptic inhibitor in neuron, a inhibitor in neuron B oh And these

04:35 neurons inhibitory neurons are gonna produce a pattern of release of the neurotransmitter

04:44 And let's say if this neuron a a pattern that looks like this versus

05:01 B presynaptic neuron that produces a pattern looks like this as synaptic response that

05:16 would record from the cell. So this is pretty, this is

05:22 the likely postsynaptic response. One would from the South would be summation into

05:29 really large depolarization. And here the response would look something like this

05:42 So these would be, in this , I drew them wrong because those

05:49 be hyper polarization. So if you Gaba or Synoptic, what we're going

05:57 see are going to be hyper OK. And ply this is what

06:05 was going to look like, for . So sorry for confusing you

06:13 If you have a excitatory cell, have a certain pattern of presynaptic action

06:19 . It means a certain pattern of responses, you have inhibitory cells.

06:25 if you have diverse subtypes of these cells, that means that they're gonna

06:31 very diverse patterns of the po synaptic SPS. And so these are IP

06:41 , but these are EPSP. This how we study, we already talked

06:50 the techniques that we studies inhibitory We have to have electrophysiology. Typically

06:58 uh infrared microscopy. We have to morphology reconstructions of the cells. We

07:05 to have something about cells, specific or their molecular profiles. And this

07:13 neuron diversity is present in the hippocampus the circuit that we discussed at

07:20 And this is how these cells vary all of these properties and features that

07:24 just mentioned, but it's present in , it's also present in the spinal

07:31 . So these are the inhibitory cells the spinal cord that have all of

07:37 different firing, tonic firing, delay firing, single spiking and morphologically

07:46 subtypes of the spinal cord inhibitory Ok. So th this diversity is

07:55 throughout the C MS Neocortex hippocampus spinal and it contributes to very different

08:04 not only pre synoptic action potentials, these very different bussy patterns that neurons

08:11 be responding to and just recall. is from previous lectures that we have

08:17 molecular tools, molecular analysis tools and . RN A sequencing S single cell

08:25 that can reveal in the molecular profiles the different subtypes of cells. This

08:33 another representation of when we look in in general on the circuit. It's

08:39 representation of neurons that actually can be or disinhibitory or what is meant by

08:52 . So for example, on this , we have cells that are gab

08:59 interneurons that are disinhibitory. Those gabber are going to target other inhibitor into

09:10 . So when this VIP vaso immuno and it's uh it's one of the

09:17 markers VIP when this VIP positive Gaba because remember they're all Gaba cells,

09:24 all release Gaba when this VIP Gaba releases Gaba on this somatostatin slm positive

09:33 . The sonata statin cell, which turn has its synopsis on this parameter

09:40 right here. The Sona Ain cell now disinhibited because it's the inhibition is

09:50 and there is no, there's disinhibition the perimeter cell. Fetal cell is

09:55 longer receiving inhibition. In the regular paradigm, you have these, for

10:03 , Perin cells that we already mentioned the previous slides. If you look

10:09 are Perin and positive cells like number , number four, these Perin positive

10:15 inhibitory interneurons will release Gaba on the or or the dendrites of the peret

10:24 . So they will inhibit parameter cells the inhibitor interneurons that will target other

10:31 interneurons will actually cause disinhibition of para . So it's like two minuses equal

10:41 a plus in in this case or or parameter. So it's we have

10:49 yeah. So that is it's not excited, it's not excitatory signal,

10:58 there is no no inhibition on the cells. Remember these are parameter projection

11:04 . And so what happens is that certain this is like a a

11:11 right? And these circuits, by way, a lot of times we

11:15 to them as canonical circuits because this of signaling inhibition from into neurons versus

11:24 . Those types of rules. This of signaling exists throughout different parts of

11:30 brain, the cans neo cortex. there's some canonical circuits and canonical rules

11:36 by which these cells in the cellular communicate with each other. And so

11:42 certain amount of inhibition that is necessary control what these excited also are going

11:48 project out and communicate to other And so there's constant sort of like

11:55 balance your teetering between inhibition and And because they are targeting different parts

12:04 the somo dendrites. And also because targeting each other and they have these

12:11 patterns, it really now determines the of this output from the parameter

12:18 not only the balance but also the of this output from the parameter

12:24 So I don't know if that completely your question. OK. Now that

12:28 other thing to look at in this is uh and uh again, you

12:35 find this PDF in your folder. if not, I will upload

12:39 maybe I didn't sync this one I'm not certain. But once you

12:44 presynaptic neuron that uh releases uh there are, there's an important point

12:53 illustrated here. There are what we Gaba receptor channels that are located within

13:00 synapse called synaptic receptors. But there some Gabo channels that are located outside

13:13 the facilities and they're called extras. quite often when there is a little

13:19 of Gaba release that Gaba that gets here is spatially fairly well confined into

13:27 synaptic space. And the clearance of , there is transport back of

13:34 So there's recycling just like the glutamate into the pre and not the terminal

13:39 reloading with the transporters of this There's also reuptake of Gaba by the

13:50 cells. So when we talk about tri partite synapse, we're also talking

13:55 glial cells not only for drawing and involved in synaptic transmission and the side

14:02 synapses, but also in the inhibitory . So, if there is a

14:10 bit more of this gal, but gets released here in the synaptic

14:14 it can actually spill over and activate extra synaptic G. So, and

14:24 ones that are located in uh within synapse, it's called basic inhibition and

14:35 inhibition looks something like on the order the IP SP. So you will

14:40 IP SB certain art pattern of IP and that's a basic inhibition. So

14:47 kind of a inhibition pattern and versus tonic inhibition which is recorded outside of

14:55 synopsis that once there is Gaba release spillover, it's sort of a has

15:03 tonic continuous de uh hyper polarization. . So just hyper polarizes and stays

15:13 until it gets unbound, it gets . But it's, it's prolonged this

15:19 kind of activation of the hyper The one more important point on this

15:28 is KCC, which stands for K C chloride co now C co

15:40 So there are KCC, in this , KCC, two transporters that will

15:49 transporting potassium and chloride to the outside the belt. And we'll, we'll

15:57 back to this because why it's important because once you activate gab a

16:04 it's going to conduct fluoride. So an abundance of chloride and there are

16:12 that keep chloride on the outside of cell. But also in this

16:15 it uses potassium or cot transport and synoptic when you look at the Gaba

16:25 . And in this case, it's a receptor, it's ionotropic that has

16:30 central channel four. It's constructed out five sub units. 123452 of those

16:40 alpha one. In this case, of these are better 31 is gamma

16:46 , but there are actually different variations the subtypes of the receptors. So

16:52 almost like a little play mosaic that can have uh two alpha receptors or

17:00 beta receptors. One alpha uh two , it switches around and that's what

17:07 the functionality of different gamma A receptor . And of course, the two

17:14 that are shown here, I'm gonna at them uh a little bit greater

17:19 throughout this lecture is the two sides Gaba will be binding. So be

17:25 where Gaba binding site is indicated. . OK. Which one? That's

17:36 ? Yeah, tonic inhibition. And to a certain degree, it's a

17:41 of normal, but it can be abnormal too. So it is associated

17:47 a pathology and it's typically associated with loss of tonic and that loss of

17:55 inhibition has been implicated in seizures and . So it's unusual that we have

18:01 that there is an abnormal increase in inhibition but typically loss or maybe we

18:06 in these early stages. We're just more of a loss of function as

18:11 relates to tonic inhibition can contribute to excitability and, and and seizure

18:21 And also the loss of phasic would equally so even stronger. OK.

18:28 let's let's talk about this. We looked at the glutamate cycle and we

18:33 that glutamate gets released. And of , poop glutamate, you talk is

18:39 to target and MB A kyrus and Cyprus poop on the nole cells.

18:49 , glutamate year is pictured as we understand that there are glutamate transporters and

18:58 glutamate transporters are located on neurons. in this case, GLT one,

19:05 is gluten, they transported GLT one for yourself. And so it's gonna

19:11 it back in to the prey optic . It's gonna reload the bicycle.

19:16 it's gonna release nearby Leo who used transport as GLT one and glass.

19:27 two glial gluten they transport as a site. Don't worry about all.

19:34 not a biochemist. So I'm not ask you questions about the TC A

19:38 , Susanna alpha Keto glu Tora. a lot of details in here,

19:44 not gonna ask questions about it, honestly, I dug for this

19:48 for like an hour trying to isn't there a good diagram that shows

19:53 whole cycle between glutamate and Gaba and ? And so that's what I thought

20:01 was the best actually. Uh but key points that I'm trying to make

20:06 glutamate gets released it's transported back into . It also gets transported into Glia

20:13 Glia, glutamate gets converted into glutamine then it gets release extra cellular.

20:24 we will say like what's going on is there vesicles? So like,

20:28 when we don't know, we'll just there's special shuttles for things, shuttles

20:32 ammonia, the shuttles for glutamine, just shuttle we just when we don't

20:37 really handling but shuttling is a good to think about. I want my

20:43 recovered. Oh no, go So this glutamine also from GLU uh

20:53 re uptake by another transporter glutamate transporter and gets entered into a cycle where

21:03 gets converted into glutamate by side of and can get leased. This is

21:11 we talked about already in the But this is just the reiteration of

21:15 tripartite and the glutamate cycling. So say, OK, and then we

21:21 of in my previous class, we mentioned it very briefly and we never

21:24 about Gaba. We almost say that is a transporter for Gaba,

21:31 But then it's kind of a we the the whole idea. OK.

21:35 happens to it? So what happens it is that when Gaba gets released

21:43 the inhibitory synapses for moving down to this side, this is Gabba,

21:49 also has its own presynaptic transporters one with Gabba transporter that will reuptake

21:57 . OK. This Gaba will re it into Vesico as Gaba and releases

22:05 re update it. Vasos releases Now, uh glial cells are also

22:15 take up this G Gaba, it its own gaps, transporters. So

22:21 are glial Gaba transporters basically, once takes up gamma, it actually

22:31 well, we can go through the thing, Gaba, TSC, the

22:34 , you know, movement, it Gaba into glutamate, astrocytes and glutamate

22:46 glutamine, synthese into glutamine. And then spits out this glutamine and

22:55 already look at what glutamate cells do glutamine, they convert it into

23:01 So what do these cells do with ? These cells pick up glutamine through

23:09 a different snap transporter. In this , on the inhibitory cells, they

23:14 glutamine, they enter into the turn it into glutamate, convert it

23:22 the G A. Remember all inhibitory will be G A positive. This

23:28 uh uh uh uh uh botanic acid and it converts glutamate into gaba loads

23:40 into the vesicles and releases. But so if you stain for

23:52 it's not a very good distinguishing factor excited and inhibitory cells. But if

23:57 stain for gad, exotic cells do have gad, they have the glutamate

24:06 . They don't have the uh gluten decarboxylase. And so now you're seeing

24:14 aside basically can take glutamate and convert into glutamine with this glutamine s so

24:24 can take gaba and convert it into through the TC A cycle and then

24:32 into glutamine. And that the gab cells have the ability to import that

24:41 , convert it into glutamate and then Gaba and release Gaba pretty cool.

24:50 that's something that uh usually takes about years of neuroscience to, to

24:59 But we did it in 20 minutes 15 minutes. He likes it.

25:11 . So we spoke so far about we have these IP SPS, but

25:17 really didn't start talking about the po channels yet. So everything we've discussed

25:23 far was Gaba cells, Gaba release of Gaba, different subtypes of

25:31 Now, we're gonna talk about what . Plus synoptic, what are some

25:36 the agents that are involved in the and what are some of the things

25:41 are important for us to understand? . So let's go to this right

25:48 . We'll talk about the fact that like we had ionotropic and metabotropic glutamate

25:53 , we have ionotropic Gaba and metabotropic , ionotropic Gaba is Gaba A.

26:00 Gaba binds to ionotropic, you have receptor. So you have the pieces

26:06 their brain. And this is Gaba , this is the receptor. When

26:14 molecule mines to gather a receptor, comes in as chloride comes in,

26:25 causes IP SP and this IP SP typically short and it's referred to as

26:35 A IP SP. And that means the number and potential from about minus

26:41 millivolts is gonna get hyper polarized around 65 millivolts. And that is if

26:49 have multiple synapses act that the same measures for EP SPS that we talked

26:56 also apply for IP SPS. An of single synapse release of vesicle with

27:03 will result in a fraction of a of old hyper polarization in this

27:10 OK. So you can have really small EP SPS. If two vesicles

27:17 activated or two synopsis is gonna be the size, triple the size so

27:23 and so forth, it can grow size. So, chloride conductance inside

27:28 cell will cause this inhibitory hyper polarization . And we'll come back to

27:36 This is gonna be our gala be and we'll see is linked to G

27:46 complex. So Gaba a activation will influx of fluoride will cause hyper

27:58 And this is most of the synaptic in the cns glycine mediates non Gaba

28:06 applic inhibition. So when we talked glycine as a cofactor, glycine is

28:12 signaling molecule in the spinal cord and very abundant in the spinal cord.

28:18 cells in the spinal cord inhibitory cells use both Gaba and Glycine in the

28:24 MS Gaba is the most dominant, there's still uh lysergic inhibition. Don't

28:31 that Gaba receptor is also a site all of these different chemicals have combined

28:37 it. So the most common one a lot of people consume is alcohol

28:42 ethanol. The other ones such as or barbiturates. Benzodiazepines or barbiturates,

28:51 gonna come back and talk to uh them at length. When we talk

28:55 epilepsy and therapies, what we call convulsant drugs, sometimes anti epileptic

29:03 but really the anti convulsant drugs. a lot of control uh hyperexcitability of

29:11 balance of excitation of inhibition. So have this scale the balance of excite

29:18 excitation and inhibition. If, if have too much excitation, if the

29:25 increases, this balance is gonna get . And so a lot of therapeutic

29:32 would be to increase the inhibition because you increase the inhibition, you can

29:39 this excited or inhibitory metal. So lot of strategies and neurological disease in

29:47 , that wants to control is boosting . And that essentially suppresses neuronal

29:56 suppresses neural networks causes these IP SPS B as it's illustrated here, Gaba

30:07 is a metabotropic G protein coupled receptor activation of this metabotropic Gaba receptor by

30:17 . What it does is there's no here. It can actually cause a

30:25 in the membrane potential. So that's we didn't talk about. And glutamate

30:30 metal glutamate receptors don't really contribute much change in numbering potential. The ga

30:36 beard actually do contribute indirectly and they so by opening nearby potassium channels,

30:46 leaving positive charge leaving is gonna make inside of the membrane more negative or

30:53 in this case closing calcium channels. you'll see that this is most of

30:59 presynaptic of regulating neurotransmitter release or activating cascades such as a dental cycle,

31:09 MP protein kinase A which can positively an MD A receptor and cause an

31:17 of calcium. And that we talked an MD A receptor is uh capable

31:21 conducting. So it's a very different , but this activation of Gaba B

31:31 will actually cause a slower and typically hyper polarization in the network. And

31:41 this is Gaba VIP sp when, , when uh Gaba gets released and

31:49 binds to either the G protein coupled or the channel channel gets activated immediately

31:57 immediately. And that's why you have early G DS P right here.

32:04 this activation of a nearby channel, example, potassium channel here and potassium

32:12 charge leaving and causing the hyper Here. This comes with some

32:18 this delay right here because you have activate the G protein. The G

32:22 has to slide over the catalytic of onto the nearby piece of membrane where

32:27 have this channel has to open the . In this case, potassium

32:34 So therefore, this Gaba B right comes with a comes with a

32:41 but you have 22 hyper polarization. you have a shorter one, a

32:47 inhibition through Gabba A and a delayed that is slower but longer lasting through

32:56 V receptor activation. That's po synaptic the potassium channels. Gabba A and

33:05 B will have their own respective agonists antagonists. And we will actually talk

33:10 bicuculline in the next slide which is Gabba A receptor antagonist. So this

33:17 a pretty typical response that one would . And in this case, these

33:24 were done in the developing visual system a pretty typical response that one would

33:30 following a a stimulus is that there be an EPSB because nearby on this

33:39 on this membrane, there are OK? And there's going to be

33:47 here, there's glutamate receptors. So have EPSP glutamate will bind here and

33:58 nearby synopsis will activate Gaba that will followed by Gaba A IP SP that

34:06 followed by Gaba B IP SP. that's exactly what's depicted here. So

34:12 have this steep EPSP here that's followed the early inhibition from the Gaba A

34:17 late inhibition from Gaba B. And if you activate it, you see

34:26 followed by IP sp, followed by sp. You can overcome, you

34:32 overcome this inhibition by producing stronger and stimuli, cedary stimuli. So what

34:40 mean is when excitation inhibition is there's certain control of excitation by

34:47 If you block inhibition of bicuculline, is the trace where you have ETS

34:53 followed by a TSP. But in presence of bicuculline, which is

34:58 a antagonist, this excitation becomes And now you have this prolonged and

35:05 depolarization that we referred to as plateau . So this is the plateau potential

35:13 during plateau potential, it's not only sodium influx, it's also the calcium

35:18 and the calcium influx that happens. what does it tell you? Tells

35:24 that Gaba a start over the break you have a normal circuit with excitation

35:32 inhibition, excitatory and inhibitory synopsis nearby there's going to be excitation followed by

35:41 . If you increase the stimulus, gonna see more excitation, increase the

35:45 , more, you'll see more It's going to correspond to some sort

35:50 a code, the strength of the versus the amplitude and the duration of

35:55 response. But if you block Gaba inhibition, if there is no hyper

36:03 coming from Gaba A, all of sudden, you lost the control over

36:08 synapse and excitation takes over. So is the main focus. The hydroxy

36:17 cloth then is also the kind of similar to uh flo. So it's

36:25 an antagonist, but in this it's an antagonist for Gaba beer receptor

36:32 Gaba V receptor. If you block V receptor, when it does,

36:36 prolongs this inhibition because Gaba A is . So you will have EP SPS

36:43 you'll have to evoke really strong stimulus order to overcome the Gaba A IP

36:53 . But if you block this Gaba , the only thing that it

36:57 if you block Gaba B is basically it this excitation a little bit

37:05 It doesn't have a profound effect. A is the initial strong and fast

37:14 , right? Gaba B, if B is blocked, it's just going

37:18 prolong this excitation, you'll still have break following it. So it will

37:26 . This is called synaptic activity, or shaping because what we're doing is

37:33 with excitation patterns and these diverse inhibitory , we're sculpting these traces, whether

37:40 going to be excitatory or inhibitory. . Now it's uh gabba synapse and

37:49 synapse. Gabbana releasing Gaba Gaba receptors fluoride responsible for early I BS B

38:00 V activation will open the potassium photic. It will contribute to Gaba

38:06 changing the membrane potential of the I B gab receptors. And if you

38:12 look up, this is an older . But if you still look

38:16 this is from 2012, I found from last year. It still is

38:20 the same way of representing it and using bi Orender instead of hand drawn

38:26 like it was 10 years ago. But yeah, GB receptor and the

38:33 and that's where they interact with voltage calcium channels. Remember, voltage gated

38:38 channels are necessary for neurotransmitter release. what they do is they block voltage

38:43 calcium channels. Therefore, they block of G OK. So they can

38:48 the south plus synoptic. They can inhibit its own release of Gaba and

38:55 are referred to as gamma B auto . So, auto receptors, Gaba

39:00 on the cells that release Gaba, there are also hetero receptors. These

39:07 Gava v hetero receptors and the nearby synopsis. So if there is a

39:13 of this Gaba and it spills it can actually activate presynaptic Gava V

39:21 . Stop the influx of calcium and the release of glutamate. Mm

39:29 when the exci synopsis activate an MD receptor, there's an influx of calcium

39:36 it turns out that calcium influx in the cells and interacting with Cal and

39:43 can interact with Gava view receptors which going to hyperpolarize these cells o synoptic

39:52 because they hyperpolarize these cells, they're to block an MD A receptor

39:58 Remember that an MD A receptor is to be open if you have glutamate

40:02 if you have depolarization, but by, by essentially blocking the,

40:11 hyper polarizing through potassium channels, it's . Now, the activation of an

40:17 A receptors, it's not allowing for postsynaptic cell to hyperpolarize. And in

40:25 , there are also Gaba V receptors are shown here on the postsynaptic

40:32 Uh This is uh very similar to we're seeing here. So this would

40:39 an inhibitor synapse. This would be excitatory synapse and you can see how

40:44 all intertwined together. And after you see how it's all intertwined through

40:49 synthesis too and the interactions with So what do neurons do? They

41:00 hundreds thousands and sometimes hundreds of thousands excitatory inputs and inhibitory inputs. Remember

41:08 a single neuron here that is shown in green are all gluon receptor

41:14 That means that a very light excitatory , excitatory response. These are GIC

41:19 inhibitory response. So all of these , excitation IP S PE PSP followed

41:27 PSP. It will be happening regionally . The SOMA needs to integrate all

41:32 that information to compute it and to who's winning is there's enough excitation that

41:40 be polarized to produce an action potential is inhibition winning and it's balancing my

41:47 and sculpting my activity as the output to the other networks. So it's

41:53 fast. This neural computation is very across thousands of synapses. How do

42:00 view this uh excitatory inhibitory uh network in general is the I balance.

42:11 how do we view it sort of a more general network level? So

42:16 have excitation, we have a, have a scale and you have excitatory

42:26 that is strong. And uh in situation, when the excitatory input is

42:36 inhibitory input. So you can see there's an exci input, very small

42:41 input. You're like, what do mean by that? Well, because

42:45 larger here. Really? So just have to look at these traces

42:50 enough, you'll see it. So dominates and this neuron is receiving or

42:59 uh network is receiving an excited, dominant input. OK. And now

43:06 the mean is shifted to excitation that is excitatory. And this is also

43:12 be very excitatory, very excited, gonna fire a lot of action

43:17 So excitation is winning. Citation is . We balance the network where the

43:23 is receiving that equal excitatory input, inhibitory input here where the net input

43:32 around zero around noise level because it's zero the difference between the two,

43:37 it's indistinguishable from the noise, you have very sparse spiking very sparse

43:45 That's a typical condition. Actually, balanced network, these neurons unless they're

43:51 really strong in unless there is like synchronized engagement to perform a task.

43:57 neurons sitting in the brain, they'll receiving excited during people through. But

44:01 processing going on all the time. their spiking is gonna be very

44:07 Now, what happens if you increase ? In this case, the inhibition

44:12 dominant and has shifted the net So with inhibition now inhibited the stent

44:20 you inhibited the cell. So they produce a spike and sometimes not at

44:29 . And so the brain operates in dynamic ranges. It operates from the

44:36 shifting toward excitation and glutamate being dominant transiently as soon as that becomes

44:46 Ep SPS, Gaba kicks in Gabo in and uh remember that glutamine and

45:03 release results in more glutamine, which in more luminate but also more

45:17 OK. So we have this ability shift the network dominance or excitation,

45:31 by inhibition to balance it out, by inhibition, followed by excitation,

45:39 it out and engaging excitation more when really strong stimulus. And so you

45:48 now if there's something is wrong with cycling of glutamate or something is wrong

45:53 the cycle of Gaba, this balance get impaired and if it gets impaired

46:00 , so it's no longer transient excitation in addition, but it's all shifted

46:06 excitation. Now, the brain tissue hyper excitable. It's potentially having too

46:13 activity and it's potentially hyper excitable Ok. So we talk about Gaba

46:21 the time as inhibitory neurotransmitter. I'm tell you a story that it's not

46:28 the case that Gaba during early development actually s and in very simple

46:38 that's because during early development, there's lot of chloride inside the cells.

46:44 when Gaba activates Gaba receptors, the fluxes out of the cell. But

46:52 negative charge leaves the cell, what to the inside of the cell,

46:56 becomes more positive. So that means during early development, Gaba is actually

47:05 because there is a different concentration gradient fluoride that gradient changes as synopsis neurons

47:13 brains mature over time. And at point, fluoride is low in the

47:23 and activation of Gaba receptor by Gava cause influx of fluoride negative charge coming

47:30 the cell. It's going to hyperpolarize nerves. And what it shows it

47:39 you that there is this NKCC which again, we're talking about this potassium

47:48 co transporter. In this case, we looked at KCC, this is

47:56 . So it's sodium potassium co In this case is bringing sodium and

48:03 on the inside, but also bringing . And there's a lot of that

48:09 in the early development. Therefore, loading up the south with chloride.

48:16 then there is a reduced amount of expression of NKCC as neurons mature.

48:23 therefore the chloride gradient changes, there's chloride on the inside of the

48:29 And chloride again becomes hyper polarizing by and inside the cells. How does

48:37 happen? Let's review some of the that we already know there is an

48:45 distribution of these ions across plasma membrane ion scandals cross the plasma membrane.

48:51 need channels. When we talk about potential, we we talk about voltage

48:57 sodium and potassium channels, you know each one of these ions. So

49:03 have a lot of potassium on the and we have a lot of sodium

49:10 and chloride on the outside of the compared to the inside of the

49:15 So we call unequal distribution on And so what it is is that

49:22 normal. Um No, I think same I didn't. That's what I

49:44 hoping for is I was hoping to on this, but I don't think

49:50 be able to erase it. All has to do with the concentrations

49:59 these ions and concentrations of these Using Ner equation allows us to calculate

50:12 potential for each item. The nurse using the 21303 RT CF log of

50:31 outside versus I don't know on inside , right? Where R is the

50:40 constant T is the temperature, Z the valence and F is the fay

50:46 , electrical constant. And so we calculate equilibrium potentials for each ion.

50:55 call that if you have a channel you have a lot of uh positive

51:02 also on one side and little ions the other side. OK. They're

51:10 to flug down its concentration gradient. this is the chemical gradient that's going

51:15 drive the ions and other side. , as more positive ion enters on

51:21 side, it encounters an electrical repulsion which is electrical gradient, so to

51:29 . And the value for equilibrium potential this millivolt value, for example,

51:35 potassium of minus 80 millivolts, that that minus 80 millivolts, potassium force

51:46 inside to the outside of chemical there's more potassium on the inside driving

51:55 outside. But at this potential of 80 the two forces are equal and

52:01 to each other in size. And what the potential is. So now

52:09 also can overlap our action potential here when you initiate action potential, once

52:18 reach the threshold, you open volt sodium channels or sodium, more

52:23 more sodium, more channels and the potential overall, this VM is being

52:28 to the ilri potential of the And then it never reaches equilibrium potential

52:34 sodium channels close very quickly and then potassium channel is over and then there's

52:40 lot of potassium influx of potassium is the membrane potential to its own equilibrium

52:47 . Potassium it gets restored with the P A system and it fluctuates from

52:54 own. So OK. So everybody that. So let's look at a

53:02 here and you can uh wait but can uh should have a race this

53:09 I'm probably gonna talk about it. happens if you change the concentration of

53:23 ? And in this case, we're about chloride, what happens if you

53:30 concentration for chloride? There's two Let's make it simple. This is

53:39 number and potential. Let's make a number and potential of minus 60

53:47 It's fluctuating, let's make a equilibrium for chloride minus 65 millivolts. That's

54:01 potential. So if Gaba gets if Gaba gets released here,

54:10 it's going to to draw the membrane , it's gonna open fluoride channels is

54:17 to hyperpolarize it. That's fluoride going . What happens if you shift the

54:30 potential? Because you change the ionic and you shift E chloride into a

54:46 55 millivolt reversal potential. Now, Gaba is released, it's actually going

54:58 depolarize plasma number. So this is Gaba. This is the right

55:16 This is the hyper polarizing Gava. , it's excited for. Yeah,

55:30 inhibitory. So during early development, happens in early development, you have

55:41 transformer and it's dominating it's over expressed cord inside. Therefore, it's changing

55:50 ratio that later you saw on the , it's changing the ratio. And

55:56 can do the calculation by plugging in values in the ERNST equation that changes

56:02 ratio or changes the concentrations in this of fluoride, more of the chloride

56:08 the inside versus outside. Therefore, changes the equilibrium potential value and it

56:16 be depolarizing during early development. And the transporters are no longer expressed to

56:24 same degree and chloride gradient is now chloride on the outside. Now we

56:31 the situation where it's inhibitor and that's mature or adult brands. Now why

56:41 is important? Because I think that mechanism, not me, we think

56:47 this mechanism which basically makes ya ex to is also a part of neurodegenerative

56:57 if Gaba loses its ability to be during, by disregulation of concentration gradients

57:06 they happened due to the impaired And so that is the case that

57:12 we talk about epilepsy, we will about glutamate transporters in glia and how

57:18 contribute to epilepsy, pathology. And be one of the cellular mechanisms that

57:25 to seizures. In epilepsy, we talk about chloride nak cot transporter and

57:34 Gaba in the early development brain. if that happens in a dull brain

57:42 a consequence of a mutation, let's in the MKCC transporter just over

57:50 over worked all the time, it now send the brain back into this

57:56 early state where Gaba is excited And that becomes a, a

58:01 right? If you're using a drug a gamma agonist, you have to

58:08 careful, you have to take into what's going on, not only with

58:12 receptors, but potentially what's going on the regulation, the homeostasis and regulation

58:20 ions inside and outside of the Because that can influence you can give

58:26 a gala uh anti epileptic drug. if they have this, this regulation

58:33 the transporter and they have a lot chlorine on the inside, it may

58:39 it worse because you may cause more by having a Gaba agonist because it's

58:46 Gaba agonist to a receptor. And that receptor channel is open and there's

58:52 much of Florida on the inside, actually now an agonist for Gabba,

58:58 instead of raising inhibition, it actually a citation. So that's another important

59:03 to keep in mind when we talk the balancing act between excitation and inhibition

59:08 step. And this is sort of introduction. We'll talk exhaustively about how

59:14 comes about in epilepsy and seizures uh in the course. So when we

59:19 back on Wednesday, I'm actually gonna attendance. It's gonna be pretty

59:24 Thursday. Sorry. Uh And uh gonna have uh electron on our modulatory

59:35 and move into imaging of the So if we finish it all,

59:40 you have your exam um Thursday next . So we have two more meetings

59:47 Thursday, this Tuesday. That's why want everybody to be present and then

59:51 want everybody to be present for the where we're gonna sign the groups and

59:57 . So that's maybe like already like attendances and then I'll take another attendance

60:02 by you turning in your project and name on it. So, uh

60:08 I appreciate everybody being here. So believe me, I wanted to cancel

60:11 lecture today at the weather at the . I was like, hm,

60:19 it's all good and the summertime is still to come. Uh any questions

60:25 what we've covered? Yeah. OK. That's a great question.

60:39 . Um I would ask the same and I don't uh we don't talk

60:45 that typically. Yeah, it's, not because glutamate signaling depends on sodium

60:59 potassium. It would be much more um to, and it's an influx

61:10 of sodium. Um You would have have deprivation of sodium on the outside

61:20 the cells. So, it's a good question when we talk about

61:28 that's not a common thing that you across and talk about inhibitory glit.

61:34 But it's more likely to talk about inhibit uh excitatory gaba. Good

61:43 All right. See you on
