Term
Deficiency of this is thought to be the cause of depression
Definition
Monoamines - NA/5HT
Term
It takes about 14 days to see changes in mood after taking antidepressants because this is the thing we are targetting
Definition
Levels of monoamine receptors
Term
These receptors are particularly implicated in depression
Definition
5HT2 and alpha and bets adrenoceptors
Term
Tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) block the reuptake of this
Definition
NA and 5HT
Term
Tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) more favourably block the reuptake of this
Definition
NA
Term
SE of TCAs
Definition
Blockade of muscarinic receptors - dry mouth, blurred vision, urine retention
Term
SE of TCAs
Definition
Blockade of H1 receptors - sedation
Term
SE of TCAs
Definition
Blockade of a1-adrenoceptors - orthostatic hypotension
Term
TCA toxic effect
Definition
Cardiac arrhythmia
Term
SSRIs specifically block the reuptake of this
Definition
5HT
Term
Main SE of SSRIs
Definition
Anxiety (initially, down regulated over time)
Term
SEs of SSRIs
Definition
Nausea, vomiting, GI disturbances, anxiety
Term
Long term SEs of SSRIs
Definition
Little sedation/insomnia
Term
First line treatment for depression
Definition
SSRIs
Term
Useful for anxiety, panic disorders, pohbias, OCD, eating disorders
Definition
SSRIs
Term
This enzyme is associated with depression
Definition
MAOa
Term
This enzyme is associated with Parkinson's
Definition
MAOb
Term
This enzyme is associated with Parkinson's
Definition
COMT
Term
Preferred substrate for MAOa
Definition
NA, 5HT
Term
Preferred substrate for MAOb
Definition
DA
Term
Are non-selective inhibitors used for depression
Definition
MAOIs
Term
SEs of MAOIs
Definition
Insomnia, postural hypotension, atropine-like side effects, sexual dysfunction
Term
Most commonly used treatment for depression
Definition
Fluoxetine
Term
You will get a cheese reaction with this
Definition
MAOIs
Term
This monoamine found in cheese can cause hypertensive crisis if on MAOIs
Definition
Tyramine
Term
Tyramine is able to displace large quantities of this
Definition
NA (and maybe 5HT)
Term
These reversibly bind to MAO
Definition
RIMAs
Term
You will NOT get a cheese reaction with this
Definition
RIMAs
Term
SEs of RIMAs
Definition
Insomnia, nausea
Term
Useful to treat anxiety, panic, phobia
Definition
MAOIs and RIMAs
Term
This system is the most common method of terminating the action of transmitter at the receptor
Definition
Removal of transmitter by a transporter
Term
Type I neurotransmitters
Definition
Simple amino acids
Term
Type I neurotransmitters
Definition
Glutamate, glycine, GABA
Term
Fastest type of neurotransmitters
Definition
Type I - glutamate, glycine, GABA
Term
Most common type of neurotransmitters
Definition
Type I - glutamate, glycine, GABA
Term
Type II neurotransmitters
Definition
Catecholamines, amines, purines
Term
Type II neurotransmitters
Definition
NA, DA, ACh, 5HT, ATP
Term
Slower/middle type of neurotransmitters
Definition
Type II - catecholamines, amines, purines
Term
Type III neurotransmitters
Definition
Neuropeptides
Term
Type III neurotransmitters
Definition
Endogenous opioids, pituitary hormones, hormone release factors, brain peptides (substance P)
Term
Slowest type of neurotransmitters
Definition
Type II - neuropeptides
Term
Receptors associated with type I neurotransmitters (simple amino acids)
Definition
Ionotropic (fast)
Term
Receptors associated with type II and III neurotransmitters
Definition
Metabotropic (slow)
Term
Binding of neurotransmitter to this type of receptor in the CNS stimulates entry via ligand gated receptor ion channel
Definition
Ionotropic (fast)
Term
Binding of neurotransmitter to this type of receptor in the CNS stimulates the production of a second messenger via a G-protein
Definition
Metabotropic (slow)
Term
The actions of DA, NA, and 5HT are terminated in this manner
Definition
Via specific transporters for each transmitter at the nerve terminal
Term
These enzymes degrade the monamines - DA, NA, 5HT
Definition
MAOa, MAOb
Term
This enzyme degrades NA and 5HT
Definition
MAOa
Term
This enzyme degrades DA
Definition
MAOb
Term
This monoamine is associated with transmission of sensory information to higher CNS areas, hallucinations, and anxiety
Definition
5HT
Term
5HT is taken up by this transporter
Definition
Serotonin transporter (SERT)
Term
NA is taken up by this transporter
Definition
Noradrenaline transporter (NT)
Term
Activation of dopinergic neurons in the brain is associated with these two effects
Definition
Behaviour, motor control
Term
The dopamine pathway that is associated with behaviour
Definition
Mesocortical/mesolimbic pathway
Term
The dopamine pathway that is associated with fine motor control
Definition
Nigrostriatal pathway
Term
Delusions, and auditory hallucinations are these type of symptoms
Definition
Positive symptoms
Term
Social withdrawal, lack of drive, and blunting of emotions are these type of symptoms
Definition
Negative symptoms
Term
Lack of attention, deficits in memory, and problems with executive function are the type of symptoms
Definition
Cognitive symptoms
Term
These are used as anitpsychotics
Definition
D2 antagonists
Term
These are used in Parkinson's
Definition
D2 agonists
Term
D2 antagonists are used on this pathway as antipsychotics
Definition
Mesocortical/mesolimbic system
Term
D2 agonists are used on this pathway to treat Parkinson's
Definition
Nigrostriatal pathway
Term
Activation of these neurons is associated with cognition memory and learning
Definition
Cholinergic neurons
