Stahl's Essential Psychopharmacology exam questions
and answers
largely the story of chemical neurotransmission - Correct Answers-Modern psychopharmacology is
Anatomically, chemically, and electrically - Correct Answers-neurotransmission can be described as
Neurons (nerve cells) - Correct Answers-Anatomical neurotransmission occurs through
axoaxonic synapse - Correct Answers-synapse between axon of one neuron and axon of another neuron
axodendritic synapse - Correct Answers-between axon terminals of one neuron and dendrites of others
axosomatic synapse - Correct Answers-axon terminal ends on cell body (soma)
axoaxonic, axodendritic, axosomatic synapses - Correct Answers-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 Answers-behavioral symptoms may occur
when drugs alter the neuronal function - Correct Answers-behavioral symptoms may be relieved, worsen, or be produced
en passant synapse - Correct Answers-axon stimulates a synapse secondarily on its way to another neuron
Serotonin (5HT), Norepinephrine, dopamine, acetylcholine, glutamate, GABA (y-aminobutyric acid) - Correct Answers-Six key neurotransmitter systems
B-endorphin - Correct Answers-a neurotransmitter that serves as a natural painkiller
