Nervous System And Drug Addiction Presentation Transcript

Slide 1 - Today’s Lesson Nervous System and Drug Addiction
Slide 2 - Overview of Lesson Nervous system Synapses and neurohormones Drug addiction
Slide 3 - Neuron Based on: Raven et al., Biology, McGraw-Hill
Slide 4 - Sensory neurons - carry impulses to the interneurons of the brain Interneurons of the brain - interpret impulses Motor neurons - carry impulses to the muscles Types of Neurons Based on: Mader, S., Inquiry Into Life, McGraw-Hill
Slide 5 - Nerve Impulse Stimulation of neuron, opens channels so that sodium (Na+) goes in, depolarizing the membrane The adjacent section of membrane allows Na+ to go in, depolarizing it This wave of depolarization continues at a rapid rate down the neuron, resulting in a nerve impulse traveling to the brain in milliseconds
Slide 6 - Neuron at Rest: Polarized Membrane Outside of neuron is positively charged due to positive sodium ions Inside of neuron is negatively charged due to negative ions + + + + + + + + + - - - - - - - - - - - Inside of Neuron

Slide 8 - Depolarization and Repolarization Based on: Starr, C., Biology: Concepts and Connections, Brooks/Cole
Slide 9 - Operates when neuron is at rest or not transmitting nerve impulse Pump is a membrane protein The protein actively transports Na out of the axon to re-establish polarity of membrane Sodium Pump
Slide 10 - Overview of Lesson Nervous system Synapses and neurohormones Drug addiction
Slide 11 - There are gaps or junctions between neurons called synapses Based on: Mader, S., Inquiry Into Life, McGraw-Hill
Slide 12 - Synapses Neurotransmitter being released into synapse and attaching to receptors on dendrite Based on Harvard Medical School Family Health Guide
Slide 13 - 50 Known Neurotransmitters Examples include: Acetylcholine Dopamine Serotonin
Slide 14 - Why do we need a neurotransmitter like dopamine?
Slide 15 - Human behavior is controlled by natural chemical reward systems in the body For example, we like to eat fatty foods because it make us feel good It is the release of dopamine that is the chemical reward system responsible for the good feeling Dopamine “reinforces behaviors essential to our survival.” Importance of Dopamine
Slide 16 - After neurotransmitter stimulates the postsynaptic membrane, it is removed by an enzyme or transported out of synapse For example, acetylcholine is removed from synapses by an enzyme called acetylcholinesterase Synapses must be cleaned up
Slide 17 - Overview of Lesson Nervous system Synapses and neurohormones Drug addiction
Slide 18 - Cigarettes contribute to death rates from cancer and heart disease Alcohol is the leading cause of violence Needles are spreading AIDS Addiction to drugs, cigarettes and alcohol account for a third of all hospital admissions, and a majority of all crimes Drug use costing us excess of 240 billion dollars annually Price of Drug Addiction in U.S.
Slide 19 - According to scientists, what is the master molecule of addiction and where is it produced?
Slide 20 - Dopamine is thought to be the master molecule of addiction It is made in the brain and affects primitive parts of the brain Based on Time, May 5, 1997
Slide 21 - After being released into the synapse (the gap between nerve endings and receiver cells), dopamine binds to receptors on the next neuron The dopamine is either quickly reabsorbed or broken down by the enzyme monoamine oxidase (MAO) Dopamine’s Normal Action Based on Time, May 5, 1997
Slide 22 - Cocaine blocks the normal absorption of dopamine. As a result, dopamine accumulates in the synapse, where is stimulates the receiver cell. Amphetamines stimulate excess release of dopamine, overwhelming the processes of reuptake and enzyme breakdown. Nicotine stimulates the release of dopamine, while another substance in cigarette smoke blocks the action of MAO. How Drug Affect Dopamine Levels Based on Time, May 5, 1997
Slide 23 - Physiology of Addiction Drug enhances amount of dopamine in the synapses Increased dopamine results in increased feelings of pleasure Nervous system responds by reducing the number of dopamine receptor sites Addict must take more drug to produce the same “high” “So while addicts begin by taking drugs to feel high, they end up taking them in order not to feel low.”
Slide 24 - Withdrawal Physiological response to lack of drug effects, especially the drug’s substitution for naturally produced neurotransmitter Withdrawal effects can be intense at first, especially if the drug addict quits abruptly Eventually the body’s physiology returns to normal, and the person will stop craving the drug
Slide 25 - Treatment for Heroin Addicts Heroin addicts are put on methadone to wean them off of heroin Methadone replaces the heroin without giving the “rush” If the addict tries to take heroin, the methadone blocks the euphoric effects of it Eventually the addict’s neurotransmitter production returns to normal if they can avoid taking heroin
Slide 26 - So how has the scientific view of the cause of drug addiction and treatment changed?
Slide 27 - Changing View of Drug Addiction Drug addiction has been viewed as a failure of character and combated with criminal laws and imprisonment Now some scientists feel drug addiction may be a disorder of the brain no different from other forms of mental illness May be caused by deficiency in neurotransmitters May be genetically based
