Test Bank For Stahl's Essential Psychopharmacology
Neuroscientific Basis and Practical Applications 5th
Edition | Complete Guide 2023 (Questions and Answers
largely the story of chemical neurotransmission - Correct Answer>>Modern
psychopharmacology is


Anatomically, chemically, and electrically - Correct Answer>>neurotransmission
can be described as


Neurons (nerve cells) - Correct Answer>>Anatomical neurotransmission occurs
through


axoaxonic synapse - Correct Answer>>synapse between axon of one neuron and
axon of another neuron


axodendritic synapse - Correct Answer>>between axon terminals of one neuron
and dendrites of others


axosomatic synapse - Correct Answer>>axon terminal ends on cell body (soma)


axoaxonic, axodendritic, axosomatic synapses - Correct Answer>>Axoaxonic- The
strongest signal. "The brakes" axon connecting to another axon. They can increase
or decrease the effect of axodendritic signals by opening and closing Ca2+
channels.


Axodendritic- Most common but also the weakest. Axon connecting to the dendrite
of another cell.


Axosomatic- axon of one cell connecting to the soma of another. Axosomatic is not
selective in inhibition, it will block a signal from all dendrites on the cell where as
axodendritic will only block the effects from one synapse.


neuron malfunction - Correct Answer>>behavioral symptoms may occur

, when drugs alter the neuronal function - Correct Answer>>behavioral symptoms
may be relieved, worsen, or be produced


en passant synapse - Correct Answer>>axon stimulates a synapse secondarily on
its way to another neuron


Serotonin (5HT), Norepinephrine, dopamine, acetylcholine, glutamate, GABA (y-
aminobutyric acid) - Correct Answer>>Six key neurotransmitter systems


B-endorphin - Correct Answer>>a neurotransmitter that serves as a natural
painkiller


Anandamide - Correct Answer>>endogenous cannabinoid


The striatum (basal ganglia) - Correct Answer>>has dopamine reuptake pumps in
abundance


basal ganglia function - Correct Answer>>Direct input from frontal lobe, facilitates
motor movements, inhibits unneeded movements
Spatial-temporal aspects of speech
Damage: unusual body postures, dysarthria, change in body tone, involuntary
uncontrolled movments interfere with voluntary speech, walk or other movements
(dyskinesias)


the prefrontal cortex - Correct Answer>>has few dopamine reuptake transporters
(DAT)


Communication between neurons is via - Correct Answer>>chemical
neurotransmitters


Excitation-secretion coupling - Correct Answer>>process by which electrical
impulse is converted to chemical signal at the synapse. this is how the neuron
transduces an electrical stimulus into a chemical message. Na and Ca voltage
sensitive gated channels.
