However, a series of weak stimuli can combine, increasing the amount of neurotransmitter that is released. This results in enough neurotransmitter being diffused across the synaptic cleft to ...

There are two types of removal: Re-uptake – the neurotransmitter is reabsorbed back into the presynaptic neuron and restored inside a vesicle ready to be used again. For example, noradrenaline.

The focus of our research is the study of synaptic transmission, with the emphasis on presynaptic mechanisms. At the synapse, neurotransmitter is rapidly released from small vesicles which are ...

in which an electrical signal triggers the release of neurotransmitters at a synapse, which in turn triggers a new electrical ...

For this communication to occur, the presynaptic neuron releases a neurotransmitter ... we have been able to completely ...
