Textbook Module 3.1 Synpatic Transmission


Lecture material

Properties of the synapse pg 52-58




Synaptic transmission (neuron story) explains in a very simplified form how neurons communicate with each other. In the illustration imagine that the stimulus is a fly landing on your leg and the response is moving the leg. Identify Cell A, Cell B and Cell C.

Reproduce the A-B-C neural network on page 9 (Unit 1.4) of the coloring book.
Color Coloring Book Units 1.3, 1.4, 1.5 and 1.6 ( pgs 8-15)
Review exercise 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3 on page 16-17

What is the difference between temporal and spatial summation.

Relationship Among EPSP, IPSP and action Potentials  Pgs 56-57
Explain the role of the interneuron in an inhibitory synapse- use Figure 3.7  pg 56. 
Create a wiring diagram that shows inhibition and excitation... use figure 3.9; 3.10 and 3.11 as examples but create your own using any configuration.
