1. Definition of Inhibition
1. Inhibition in a general definition is a Indendent nerve process which is caused by exitation & manifested by the suppression of another exitation.
2. Inhibition means to slow down the excitation effect of the CNS.
3. Inhibition is the process whereby nerves can retard or prevent the functioning of an organ or part; "the inhibition of the heart by the vagus nerve".
4. Inhibition is the reduction of a reflex or other activity as the result of an antagonistic stimulation.
5. Inhibition is a state created at synapses making them less excitable by other sources of stimulation.
Roles of inhibition
Protection (E.g. as antaganism protection)
Coordination ( Inhibition of nervous process in the CNS that ensures tha harmonious activity)
Explain what is EPSP and IPSP
EPSP: Excitatory post synaptic membrane, this moves the cell toward the threshold level by allowing positive ions to enter in the cell as result of opening the ligand ions channels. The larger the EPSP the more like the action potention is to fire.
IPSP: Inhibitory post synaptic membrane. It moves the cell away from the threshold level due to the movement of negative ions into the cell or positive ions out of the cell.
Inhibitory transmitters
Gaba: is used at the great majority of fast inhibitory synapses in virtually every part of the brain. Many sedative/tranquilizing drugs act by enhancing the effects of GABA.
Glycine is Correspondingly as GABA, but is the inhibitory transmitter in the spinal cord
Dopamine: has a number of important functions in the brain. It plays a critical role in the reward system, but dysfunction of the dopamine system is also implicated in Parkinson's disease and schizophrenia.
Mechanism of GABA
GABA is the major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the CNS. GABA is present stored in vesicles. Given a certain stimulus, GABA is released into the synaptic cleft to act on their specific receptors in the postsynaptic neuron, and after it activity is reuptake. the action of GABA on its receptors results in membrane hyperpolarization.
GABA and its receptors are widely distributed in mammalian CNS.
The completion of the actions of GABA at the synaptic cleft (reuptake) is performed through specific transporters located in the membrane of presynaptic terminals and glial cells, and their catabolism is performed by the enzyme GABA-transaminase (GABA-T). the action of GABA-T, converts-ketoglutarate to L-glu by transamination,and then the L-glu is converted to glutamine by the action of glutamine synthetase, to be transported from glial cell to the presynaptic neuron. In the presynaptic neuron, the glutaminase converts glutamine to L-glu, and it undergoes the action of glutamate decarboxylase to produce and stock GABA in vesicles.
2. Classifications of inhibition according the localization• Direct (postsynaptic)• Indirect (presynaptic)
Mechanism and Properties of the inhibitory postsynaptic potential
Increase in negativity beyond normal resting potential level.
The inhibitory mainly open to Cl ions -70 mvolt . more –ve than -65 mvolt that present inside resting neuronal membrane.
Opening Cl channel allow negatively charge Cl ion to move from extracellular fluid --> interior --> will make interior membrane potential more negative than normal.
Opening of K channel allow positively charge K ion to move from interior --> extracellular --> also will make interior membrane potential more negative.
Both Cl influx and K influx increase the degree of intracellular negativity – hyperpolarization.
It inhibit neuron because : membrane potential father away from -45 mv threshold for excitation.
IPSP --> - 5 mv.
4. Postsynaptic inhibition
Postsynaptic inhibition
Mechanism of presynaptic inhibition
Occur at presynaptic terminal before the signal ever reach the synapse.
inhibition in presynaptic cause : i. Discharge of inhibitory synapse that lie on the outside of the
presynaptic terminal nerve fibrils before their ending terminate on postsynaptic neuron.
ii. The inhibitory transmitter released is GABA (gamma-amino butyric acid )
--> Specific effect of opening anion channel . allowing large no. Cl ion to
diffuse into terminal fibril. - the negative charge of these ion cancel excitatory effect of
positive charge Na ion that enter terminal fibril when AP arrival. --> the positively increase in postsynaptic is reduce thus reducing excitation of synapse.
- it occur in many sensory pathway in nervous system. - terminal nerve fiber inhibit one another , minimize the
sideway spread of signal in sensory tract.
Classification of Inhibition
1. Lateral2. Reciprocal3. Renshaw4. Inhibition following excitation5. Pessimal
Lateral Inhibition
Is a mechanism that is used through the nervous system to sharpen signal transmission.
This process uses inhibition of the input from the peripheral of the receptive field to better define the boundaries of the exited zone.
Motor system & Sensory system use this mechanism to focus and sharpen its signals. E.G.: Eyes
Picture showing the lateral inhibition
Reciprocal Inhibition
When the central nervous system sends a message to the agonist (muscle causing movement) to contract, the tension in the antagonist (muscle opposing movement) is inhibited by impulses from motor neurons, and thus must simultaneously relax. This neural phenomenon is called reciprocal inhibition.
The teleological principle is obvious. When a group of muscles, say, the flexors of the elbow contract the opposing (antagonist) muscles, (extensors of the elbow in this example), must relax to ensure flexion.
Renshaw inhibition
From the big sized anterior horn cells of the spinal cord, emerge Aα motoneurons which end in the skeletal muscles. Now, upper motor neuron or cortico spinal (pyramidal) tract fibers impinge on these Aα motoneurons. Therefore, when the corticospinal tract fires, Aα motoneurons are stimulated.
Renshaw cell inhibition
Collaterals from the Aα motoneurons emerge and impinge upon cells, called Renshaw cells. When the Aα fibers are stimulated, the Renshaw cells, therefore, are also stimulated. The axon of the Renshaw cell now inhibit the nerve cell soma of the Aα neurons.
Renshaw cell inhibition
This phenomenon is called Renshaw cell inhibition (after Renshaw, who discovered it in 1946). The teleology of this phenomenon appears to be to produce a condition so that even if the corticospinal tract fires repetitively, the frequency of the muscle contraction remains less (Renshaw cell inhibition lasts for quite a few milli seconds), and thus the muscle is protected against too high frequency stimuli.
Pessimal inhibition
inhibition developes in the excitatory synapses as a result of strong depolarization of the Post-synaptic membrane under the influence of nerve impulses arriving too frequently.
The intermediate neuron of Spinal Cord neurons of the reticular formation are particularly liable to pessimal inhibition.

Occlusion
consist simultaneously stimulation of 2 groups of afferent fibers, discharge zone, producing an effect whose magnitude is less than arimethical sum of reflexes taken separately
Facilitation
consist in simultaneous stimulation of 2 groups of afferent fibers at facilitated zone, producing an effect whose magnitude is bigger than the arthmyatical sum of those reflexes taken separately
Principal of final common path way
One and the same motor neuron involve in many reflex arch
Effector neuron form a final common pathways for reflexes of different origin & can be linked w any of the organism receptor
The principle of feedback Afferent impulsation generated
within the org. by the activity of its organ & tissues can be called secondary in contrast to these first elicited & reflex reaction

3. Central inhibition (Sechenov's inhibition)
The phenomenon of central inhibition was discovered by Sechenov in 1862.
Ivan M. Sechenov
Central inhibition (Sechenov's inhibition)
Sechenov's fundamental experiment was as follows:
a frog brain as incised at the level of the thalamus, and the cerebral hemispheres removed. Then the reflex time for withdrawing the hind legs from a solution of sulphuric acid was measured (Turck's method). The reflex was performed by the spinal centers and its time indicated their excitability.
3. Central inhibition (Sechenov's inhibition)
Sechenov found that application of a crystal of common salt or a weak electrical stimulus to the section of the thalamus markedly prolonged the reflex time. From this experiment he concluded that there were nerve centers in the thalamic region of the frog brain producing an inhibitory influence on spinal reflexes.
Sechenov correctly evaluated the great importance of the phenomenon of central inhibition he had discovered, and used it in his theoretical work to explain the physiological mechanisms of man's behaviour.
