🟢 TOPIC 4a: Neurohumoral Transmission & Neurotransmitters

2 Marks Question	Answer Template
Q. GABA ka role kya hai CNS mein?	GABA = chief inhibitory neurotransmitter. Acts on GABA-A receptors linked to Cl⁻ channel opening and GABA-B receptors linked to GPCR actions, so CNS excitability kam karta hai .
Q. Glutamate ka function kya hai?	Glutamate = chief excitatory neurotransmitter. Receptors include NMDA, AMPA, Kainate, and it is involved in excitatory neurotransmission, memory/plasticity-related pathways, seizures, and excitotoxicity concepts .
Q. Glycine kahan act karta hai?	Inhibitory neurotransmitter — mainly spinal cord, brainstem, retina. It is linked with inhibitory chloride-channel type actions, similar in exam pattern to GABA-A .
Q. Serotonin (5-HT) ka CNS mein role?	Serotonin helps regulate mood, sleep, behavior, thermoregulation, and many CNS drugs work by altering neurotransmitter activity such as serotonin signaling .
Q. Dopamine kyun important hai?	Dopamine is a key CNS neurotransmitter linked with movement, reward, and behavior; Parkinson’s disease is associated with reduced dopaminergic activity, while psychosis/schizophrenia treatment commonly involves dopamine-receptor blockade .

📊 Pattern Table — CNS Neurotransmitters at a Glance

Neurotransmitter	Type	Main Receptor Type	Function	Linked Disease
GABA	Inhibitory	GABA-A, GABA-B	↓ Excitability, calming	Anxiety, epilepsy-related CNS excitability

Dopamine	Modulatory	Dopamine receptor families	Movement, reward, behavior	Parkinson’s, schizophrenia-related concepts

🟢 TOPIC 4b: General Anesthetics & Pre-anesthetics

2 Marks Question	Answer Template
Q. General anesthesia ke 4 cardinal features?	General anesthesia produces reversible CNS depression with loss of sensation, unconsciousness/amnesia, immobility/muscle relaxation, and reflex changes .
Q. Inhalation vs IV anesthesia example do?	Inhalation: Halothane, Isoflurane, Sevoflurane, Nitrous oxide. IV: Thiopentone, Propofol, Ketamine, Etomidate .
Q. Pre-anesthetic medication kyun dete hain?	Pre-anesthetic drugs are used to reduce anxiety, secretions, vagal reflexes, and pain; examples include atropine, diazepam, opioids, and antiemetics .
Q. Ketamine ka unique feature?	Ketamine is taught as producing dissociative anesthesia and is often noted for maintaining or increasing BP compared with many other anesthetics .

📊 Flowchart — Stages of Anesthesia

     ↓
Stage 4 — Medullary paralysis (respiratory failure → death)

These classical stages describe the progressive CNS depression produced by general anesthetics .

🟢 TOPIC 4c: Sedatives, Hypnotics & Centrally Acting Muscle Relaxants

2 Marks Question	Answer Template
Q. Sedative vs Hypnotic difference?	Sedative: Low dose → calm, awake. Hypnotic: High dose → sleep, ↓ consciousness. Same drug can act as a sedative at low doses and hypnotic at higher doses .
Q. Benzodiazepines ka MOA?	Benzodiazepines enhance GABA-A receptor activity and increase inhibitory CNS effects, leading to sedation/anxiolysis and other CNS depressant actions .
Q. Barbiturates vs Benzodiazepines — key difference?	Barbiturates and benzodiazepines both enhance GABA-mediated inhibition, but barbiturates have greater overdose/respiratory-depression risk in standard pharmacology teaching .
Q. Centrally acting muscle relaxant example?	Diazepam, Baclofen, Tizanidine. Centrally acting muscle relaxants reduce muscle spasm by acting on the CNS rather than directly on muscle fibers .

Type	Examples	MOA	Key Features	Side Effects
Typical (1st gen)	Chlorpromazine, Haloperidol	Mainly D₂ blockade	Positive symptoms like hallucinations/delusions improve with dopamine blockade	EPS, ↑ prolactin, hypotension-type adverse effects
Atypical (2nd gen)	Clozapine, Risperidone, Olanzapine	D₂ block + 5-HT₂A block pattern	Positive and negative symptoms may improve, with generally less EPS than many typical drugs	Weight gain, metabolic effects, and Clozapine → agranulocytosis risk

📊 Flowchart — Antipsychotic MOA

Typical Antipsychotics (e.g., Haloperidol)
       ↓
D₂ receptor blockade in mesolimbic pathway
       ↓
↓ Dopamine overactivity → ↓ Positive symptoms (hallucinations, delusions)
       ↓
But also block D₂ in nigrostriatal pathway
       ↓
EPS (Parkinsonism, tardive dyskinesia)

Atypical Antipsychotics (e.g., Clozapine)
       ↓
D₂ block (mesolimbic) + 5-HT₂A block pattern
       ↓
↓ Positive symptoms + better effect on negative symptoms
       ↓
Less nigrostriatal D₂ block pattern → Less EPS
