| # | Slide Title |
|---|---|
| 1 | Title Slide – Synapse: Classification & Predestination |
| 2 | What Is a Synapse? – Definition, Sherrington's coinage, key terms |
| 3 | Anatomical Structure – Presynaptic terminal, vesicles, cleft, PSD, active zones |
| 4 | Electrical Synapses – Gap junctions, connexins/connexons, bidirectional, functions |
| 5 | Chemical Synapses – Step-by-step transmission (AP → Ca²⁺ → exocytosis → receptor) |
| 6 | Electrical vs. Chemical Comparison Table – 9-row side-by-side |
| 7 | Structural Classification – Axodendritic, Axosomatic, Axoaxonic, Axospinous, Dendrodendritic |
| 8 | Functional Classification – Excitatory (EPSP, Glutamate) vs Inhibitory (IPSP, GABA/Glycine) |
| 9 | Neurotransmitters – Amino acids, Biogenic amines, Peptides with key examples |
| 10 | Synaptic Predestination – Definition, 5 structural reasons for one-way transmission |
| 11 | Why Predestination Matters – Signal routing, circuits, pharmacology, amplification |
| 12 | Presynaptic Inhibition & Facilitation – Axoaxonic mechanisms, GABA-B, clinical note (Baclofen) |
| 13 | Synaptic Vesicle Types – Small clear vs. large dense-core vs. co-release |
| 14 | Synaptic Plasticity – Facilitation, Depression, LTP, LTD, Homeostatic scaling |
| 15 | Summary & Clinical Pearls – MG, Botox, Parkinson's, BZDs, SSRIs |
