Assignment task:
At 64 years old, Chelsea is treated for ovarian cancer via various chemotherapy drugs, including paclitaxel. Paclitaxel works by disrupting microtubule functions. Remember that microtubules are necessary to transport vesicles filled with peptide neurotransmitters from the neurons' cell bodies to their axon terminals (Figure 1).lopram (also known as Celexa®) to manage major depressive disorder. Under normal circumstances, sodium (Na ) ion channels open when serotonin released into the synapse binds to receptors on the postsynaptic membrane. Citalopram works as a serotonin reuptake inhibitor in the synaptic cleft. Knowing this, what effects would citalopram have on action potential generation in the post-synaptic neuron? Justify your answer.
