Leak channels Trends in Pharmacological Sciences (2008) 29:11 The resting permeability for K+ is much higher than for Na+, but the driving force (at resting membrane potential) is much higher for Na+ than for K+. The resultant currents for K+ and Na+ are therefore equal

Refractory period following the action potential Absolute refractory period = Voltage-gated Na+-channels are inactivated, making a new action potential impossible. Relative refractory period = Voltage-gated Na+-channels de- inactivates during this period and the membrane potential is hyperpolarized. A stronger than normal depol is required to evoke an action potential.

Synapses are usually small and unreliable, but many (and plastic) 3 quantal parameters determine the signalling strength of a synaptic connection Synaptic strength = n x p x q n = no. of release sites p = release probability The probability that an action potential will cause the release of one vesicle q = quantal size The magnitude of the postsynaptic response to one vesicle 2 ms 10 pA Recording from one synapse 1 µm

  1. The AMPA receptor channel: -opened by glutamate -permeates Na+ and K+ -gives rise to a brief (ca. 10 ms) EPSP
  2. The NMDA receptor channel: -opened by glutamate (and Gly/D-Ser) + depol -permeates Na+, K+ and Ca2+
  • gives rise to a brief long-lasting (ca. 100 ms) EPSP -is necessary for the induction of synaptic plasticity; Long- term potentiation (LTP) och long-term depression (LTD).
  1. Metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) are G- protein coupled receptors that, for example, can give rise to Ca2+ release from ER and facilitate synaptic plasticity. The Glutamate synapse
