Neurotransmission
Neurotransmission (latin: transmissio = passage, crossing; from transmitto = send, let through) is the transfer of signals between neurons, also called synaptic transmission. Neurotransmission is another word for the way neurons communicate with each other.
Stages in neurotransmission
- Synthesis of the neurotransmitter
- Storage of the neurotransmitter in the synapse
- Release of the neurotransmitter into the synaptic cleft
- Interaction with the receptor
- Deactivation of the neurotransmitter
