Topic 3 Module 4: Signalling between neurons & post-synaptic integration
Title
1 Overview
2 Module 4 Objectives
3 Revision of general mechanisms for transfer of information at chemical synapses
4 Information flow between neurons is not as "efficient" as between neurons and skeletal muscle
1. 4.1 Information transfer between neurons involves convergence and divergence of inputs
5 Excitatory and Inhibitory Post-synaptic membrane potential changes
6 Properties of PSPs
7 As PSPs spread the current decays
8 The post-synaptic neuron integrates pre-synaptic input in 'deciding' to respond
1. 8.1 Why neurons integrate
2. 8.2 2nd messengers
9 Synaptic transfer of information is not static but can be altered by a number of factors
10 Summary of synaptic transfer of information & post-synaptic integration in fast information flow
11 Summary of neuron-to-neuron signalling
