3 phases of LTP

(1) stimulation (2) induction (3) expression

post

(pre/post?) synaptic changes include: * expansion and increase of dendritic spines (requires actin) * insertion of more receptors (requires synthesis of AMPA receptors and PSD95)

pre

(pre/post?) synaptic changes include: * increased number of reserve synaptic vesicles (synapsin I) * increase in vesicle membrane docking proteins (synaptotagmin) * increase in terminal buttons

yerkes-dodson Law

basically goldilocks of relationship between exercise intensity and cognitive function * low intensity exercise has no impact * moderate intensity exercise improves cognitive function * long-duration or high-intensity exercise has no impact

c

a

Is an increase in cardiovascular fitness a prerequisite for positive effects of exercise on cognition? a. An increase in cardiovascular fitness explains only a small amount of the cognitive benefits of exercise Yes, lower-intensity exercise such as gymnastics or stretching programs have no benefits on cognitive function No, there is absolutely no relationship between cardiovascular fitness and cognitive function I need more coffee

a

Is cognitive function always improved after a bout of exercise? a. No, it depends on exercise duration and intensity. b. Yes, exercise always improves cognitive function. c. Yes, but the beneficial effect of exercise varies depending on exercise intensity. d. No, because there is a reduction of blood flow to the prefrontal cortex for about 30 min after exercise

a

phase three (expression) of LTP

CAMK directs the expression of many genes responsible for making proteins required on the post synaptic membrane * expansion and increase of dendritic spines requires actin * insertion of more receptors. requires synthesis of AMPA receptors and PSD95

on

CAMK turns (on/off?) the BDNF gene, which in turn drives the expression of proteins important for post synaptic changes (PSD95, etc.)

phase two (induction) of LTP

Ca2+ enters the post synaptic cell and activates CAM kinases * CAMK increases the concentration of intracellular calcium ions * CAMK activates transcription factors important for the expression of genes that code for proteins required for synaptic plasticity

improved
