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

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).
3. Metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) are G-
protein coupled receptors that, for example, can give rise
to Ca2+ release from ER and facilitate synaptic plasticity.
