  1. Neuroanatomy • Parts of the neuron • Membrane • Soma or cell body • Cytoplasm • Nucleus • Endoplasmic reticulum • Ribosomes • Mitochondria • Golgi apparatus • Intracellular organelles

  2. Neuroanatomy • Parts of the neuron • Soma or cell body • Dendrites (afferent to soma) • Spines (postsynaptic) • Axon (efferent to soma) • Axonal hillock • Terminal (presynaptic) • Synapse

  3. Neuronal Signaling • Types of neuronal potentials • Resting membrane potential • Graded potentials • depolarizing • hyperpolarizing • Action potentials

  4. Neuronal Signaling • Resting membrane potential • Voltage difference across neuronal membrane • Typically -70 mV inside relative to outside neuron

  5. Neuronal Signaling • Resting membrane potential • Voltage difference across neuronal membrane • Membrane is semipermeable • Ion channels • Pores in membrane formed by proteins that allow ions to pass • K+ • Na+ • Cl- • Passive (nongated) • Active (gated) Na+ / K+ ATPase pump • 3 Na+ out for every 2 K+ in

  6. Neuronal Signaling • Resting membrane potential • Voltage difference across neuronal membrane • Membrane is semipermeable • Ion channels • Concentration gradients • More Na+ outside • More K+ inside • Electrical gradients • Negative charge inside, positive outside • Electrochemical or ionic equilibrium • Nernst equation

  7. Neuronal Signaling • Electrical conduction • Passive conduction • Electrotonic or decremental • Active conduction • Action potentials • Synaptic potentials • Receptor potential

  8. Neuronal Signaling • Electrical conduction • Passive conduction • Volume conduction • Amplitude of original current (V) • Resistance (R) and capacitance of membrane • Conductivity of intra- and extracellular fluids • Ohm's law V = IR or I = V / R
