Slide 24 of 24
Notes:
This summarizes the chemical communications
Axoaxonic (terminal button to 2nd terminal button) don’t contribute directly to neural integration.
Nonsynaptic--Peptides (eg. Insulin & hormones of pituitary gland) stimulate metabotropic receptors
Steriods (sex hormones) pass easily through the membrane
Note that IPSP or neural inhibition may not mean behavioral inhibition…you need to know the circuits well enough to know if inhibition will make the behavior more or less likely.
