Foundational Neuroscience

The Psychiatric mental health practitioners and the staff are supposed to have a very strong foundational neuroscience. The knowledge is useful to help them to diagnose and even treat the treatments of the different psychiatric disorders that are reported. Psychiatric mental health practitioners help in the medications in the process of the treatments of the mental health disorder as well as their impacts on the nervous systems at large. This paper will help to explain the spectrum in the action of the agonist to the antagonist, then compare the works of the ion gated ways and channels to the g couple proteins as well as the roles of the epigenetics that are used in the pharmacologic works and actions. 

Most of the involved agents of pharmacological agents work through either being agonist being antagonist receptors that are used to responding to the chemical messengers that are included in the process of neurotransmitters. The agonist is used to bind to the receptors as well as activate the receptor and hence leading to the production of the effects in the cell or the involved biological response (Stefanska & MacEwan, 2015). The pharmacologic agonist binds and even activate the receptors that are called neurotransmitter in the brain like the dopamine receptors which is involved in the schizophrenia. 

On the other side, the antagonist will serve by binding to the receptors and then blocking the involved receptors for binding to the agonist without ant biological responses and their effects on the cells. The antagonist stabilizes the receptors which are in the inactive state which is also the same states to the receptors states that are the agonist absence. The other ion gated channels as well as the g couple proteins that are used to represent the two major groups of the receptors of the neurotransmitters (Stahl & Stahl, 2013)
