Outlines 大綱 神經系統中的細胞學簡介 Neuron/ Glia/ microglia 樹突, 軸突, 突觸 (dendrite/axon/ synapse) 神經細胞間如何傳遞訊息? Excitatory vs. inhibitory 突觸可塑性 ( Synaptic plasticity): 學習與記憶的分子機制 長期記憶的分子本質 如何研究記憶的實驗方法
Learning and Memory- Making who we are Learning 學習 : 接受新的訊息 Memory: 將接受到的訊息存於腦中, 可分為 Declarative (explicit) memory: 陳述性 ( 外顯 ) 記憶 Cognitive memory- Facts and event Nondeclarative (implicit) memory: 非陳述性 ( 內隱 ) 記憶 Procedural memory- skills, habits, behaviors
Memory can last for various time 記憶可因存在時間的長短而又分成長期記憶, 短期記憶及暫時記憶 Long-Term, Short-Term, and Working (temporary) Memory 但長期記憶的形成不一定要經過短期記憶的過程 Sensory information Short-term memory Consolidation Long-term memory Sensory information Short-term memory Consolidation Long-term memory Time
Different Phases of Memory Acquisition (learning, encoding information) Consolidation Reconsolidation Retrieval Extinguish (not equal to forgetting, more like relearning )

Neurotransmitter Receptors: excitatory & inhibitory receivers at postsynapses 神經傳導物質受體 : 皆會造成膜電位的改變有些本身是離子通道, 有些會間接造成其他離子通道的開啟使膜電位更正 (more positive) 的是興奮性傳遞反之是抑制性傳遞 Lipid bilayers: 不導電 Neurotransmitter Receptors (NTRs) - Channel Proteins ( 離子通道 ) Ion selectivity and gating Voltage-gated ion channel Ligand (neurotransmitter)-gated ion channel - Receptors Ion Pumps ( 離子幫浦 ) Formed by membrane spanning proteins Uses energy from ATP breakdown
The ionic basis of the resting membrane potential Equilibrium Potentials No net movement of ions when separated by a phospholipid membrane Equilibrium reached when K + channels inserted into the phospholipid bilayer Four important points Large changes in V m Minuscule changes in ionic concentrations Net difference in electrical charge Inside and outside membrane surface Rate of movement of ions across membrane Proportional V m E ion Concentration difference known: Equilibrium potential can be calculated by the Nernst equation
Electrorecording detects the changes in membrane potential Membrane potential: Voltage across the neuronal membrane Electro-Recording Voltage-clamp: fix V, recording I Current-clamp: fix I, recording V Principle: Ohm s Law V= IR V: voltage R: resistance I= Vg I: current g: conductivity R: varies depending on channel open/close 記錄時採固定電位然後記錄電流的變化, 或固定電流的方式然後記錄電位的變化, 由此可算出細胞膜電阻力的變化 細胞膜電阻力的變化取決於離子通道的開與關

Optogenetics: 用光來影響動物體內的神經活性, 進而改變其行為 Optogenetics is a novel technique of delivering genes that encode proteins capable of conveying light sensitivity to electrical changes in target cells. Thus, it provides a precision and efficiency way to manipulate neuronal circuit at milliseond-time scale to understand brain information processing as well as potential application for individualized therapeutic clinical approaches. 用基因工程的方式, 將從藻類中找到的蛋白表達在老鼠或其他動物身上 此蛋白是 light-gated ion channel proteins such as channelrhodopsins. e.g. ChR2 ( 打開, 正電流流入 ), halorhodopsin, VChR1 ( 打開, 負電流流入 ) 1.
