Document Summary
Study questions, neurophysiology (units 1-3: there are three types of voltage-gated ion channels found in neurons. Discuss these channels with respect to their structure, and their role in the transmission of nerve impulses: the 3 types of voltage-gated ion channels in neurons are na+, ca+, and k+ ion channels, voltage-gated na. Consists of 1 long peptide strand which contains. + channel structure is different than the na+ and ca+ channels in that each domain is a separate peptide chain (rather than a single peptide chain consisting of. Discuss with respect to events in the pre- and post-synaptic cell. (l: 2, + channels in the terminal (via pka), thus inactivating them: this results in less k+ efflux, resulting in a longer/sustained depolarization, which keeps the ca. + channels open longer and causes more nt to be released: our current understanding of learning and memory in mammals involves long-term potentiation of synaptic transmission in the hippocampus.
