Place the following events in chronological order from 1-8: Nat enters the cell, and depolarization occurs to approximately +30 mV. The voltage across the cell membrane is -70 mV, the resting membrane potential. Upon reaching the peak of the action potential, the VG Nat channels are inactivated by the closing of their inactivation gate and the activation gate of each VG K* channel opens. VG K+ channels close by the closing of their activation gate, and the resting membrane potential is gradually restored. An excitatory post-synaptic potential depolarizes the membrane to threshold and the activation gate of VG Nat channels open. Upon returning to the resting membrane potential, VG Na channels are reset by opening of the inactivation gate and the closing of the activation gate. VG K channels are slow to close, resulting in an excess of K* efflux and hyperpolarization. Depolarization occurs as K+ flows out of the cell.

Consider the neuron below, which has a membrane resting potential of -70mV, membrane space constant of Imm, membrane time constant of 100ms, and spike firing threshold of -65mV. The neuron receives input from three synapses. Synapse A generates an EPSP of 12mV amplitude and 2ms duration, synapse B generates an EPSP of 8mV amplitude and Ims duration, and synapse C generates an IPSP with an amplitude of -2mV and duration of 3ms. A axon hillock 0.5mm Justify your answers to the following questions mathematically (round distances to nearest 0.5mm). You can neglect propagation time (ie. assume EPSPS/IPSPS arrive at axon hillock at same time irrespective of distance). (a) Would the cell fire an action potential if A is active? (b) Would the cell fire an action potential if A and B are active simultaneously? (c) Would the cell fire an action potential if B is activated twice with a delay of 2ms? (d) Would the cell fire an action potential if all three are simultaneously active? (e) If an…

An experimental cell line expresses K+ inward rectifier channels, Na+ leak channels, K+ channels activated by the elevated levels of cytosolic Ca2+, Cl- channels activated by PKC, aquaporins, and α-1 adrenergic receptors (GPCRs that activate Gαq/11 signalling pathway). No voltage-gated channels of any kind are present. The resting membrane potential of these cells is about –50 mV, and they are bathed in the standard extracellular solution. The intracellular concentrations of the relevant ions are as follows: K+ 130 mM, Na+ 15 mM, Cl- 30 mM, Ca2+ 10-4 mM. What will happen to the cell volume if α-1 adrenergic receptor agonist is applied to the bath? Explain your answer.
Sensory neurons in the homeostatic pathway demonstrate spontaneous activity. For a neuron, what does spontaneous activity mean? Describe a mechanism by which a neuron would demonstrate spontaneous activity. (Good inspiration would be to look at the mechanism of behavior and effect on membrane potentials of HCN channels in the heart.) Assuming these sensory neurons used FM communication, how do they encode increases in stimulation and also to encode decreases in stimulation of receptors?
If a post synaptic neuron is stimulated to threshold by spatial summation this implies that the post synaptic cell has a lower than normal threshold the postsynaptic cell has many synapses with many presynaptic neurons the post synaptic cell is getting stimulated many times during a short period of time by a single presynaptic neuron the post synaptic cell is slow to repolarize

As the axonal membrane depolarizes during the rising phase of an action potential, the amplitude of Na+ conductance changes from large to small the amplitude of Na+ conductance changes from small to large there is no Na+ conductance during this phase of the action potential the amplitude of Na+ conductance remains large and constant throughout

Epilepsy is a condition which results in seizures stemming from excessive or abnormal activity of neurons. This can occur either from hyperexcitability of excitatory neurons, or impairment of inhibitory neurons. That is to say, either the excitatory pathways become overactive, or the inhibitory pathways, designed to temper the excitatory pathways, are not active enough. Much of the research done on epilepsy focuses on voltage-gated sodium channels, and to date over 700 different mutations to the channel have been identified as playing a role in epilepsy. The means by which these mutations contribute to epilepsy is quite complex, but for the sake of this CAL, let's simplify and apply what we have learned so far to identify potential mechanisms for this condition. In what way could voltage-gated sodium channels be affected in excitatory neurons which would increase the likelihood of the neuron firing an action potential? (one correct answer) The inactivation gate is slower to close. The…
