LIVE RXPP 6120 Principles of Neurotransmission & Neuropathways | via NMSU
13# Credit Hours
Online
This module of RXPP 602 covers physiological concepts underlying central and peripheral nervous system function. Cellular neurophysiology concepts such as the resting potential, action potential and basic ion channel kinetics will be reviewed, as will neurotransmitter receptor function. Second messengers and neural plasticity are also studied in depth. Finally, the student/attendee will be exposed to nervous system pathology. This course is congruent with the College of Education’s Conceptual Framework in that it provides a general knowledge background, addresses assessment competencies, and integrates content knowledge and professional knowledge.

Participants will be able to:
- List 3 types of neurons
- List at least 5 structures of a neuron
- List at least 3 components of the neuronal membrane
- List at least 2 differences and/or features between a resting vs. action potential
- List 4 characteristics of a neurotransmitter
- List 6 types of inotropic receptors and 1 type of metabotropic receptor
- List at least 2 characteristics of an Excitatory Postsynaptic Potential (EPSP), and 1 neurotransmitter involved in generating the potential
- List at least 2 characteristics of an Inhibitory Postsynaptic Potential (IPSP), and 1 neurotransmitter involved in generating the potential
- Regarding major neurotransmitter systems, identify the (a) location of synthesis, (b) its major projection areas, and (c) receptor subtypes of the: Cholinergic System, Dopaminergic System Noradrenergic System, Serotonergic System Glutamatergic System, GABAergic System
- List 2 divisions of the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS)
- List at least 3 target organ systems within each division (sympathetic vs. parasympathetic) of the ANS
- Identify and distinguish between 3 types of neurodegenerative diseases
- List two types of vascular disorders
- Identify at least 3 signs of tardive dyskinesia and 2 underlying mechanisms involved

- Including listing at least 3 proposed mechanism of the Gate Control Theory of Pain
- List 2 significant features of acute pain
- List 3 significant features of chronic pain
- List at least 3 types of neuroimaging diagnostic/modalities, 3 indications for imaging, and at least 1process on how to order imaging studies
