Document Summary

The process of information transfer at a synapse. Acetylcholine: allow the direct transfer of ionic current from one cell to the next, occur at gap junctions. A change in the postsynaptic membrane potential by the presynaptic action of an electrical synapse, or a synaptically released neurotransmitter. An amino acid; the major excitatory neurotransmitter in the. An amino acid synthesized from glutamate; the major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the cns. An amino acid; an inhibitory neurotransmitter at some locations in the cns. An amine that serves as a neurotransmitter and many. Epsp summation- simplest form of synaptic integration in the cns. Spatial summation synapses in the pns and cns, including the neuromuscular junction. Puts neurotransmitters inside the vesicle after they are synthesized (in the cytosol of the axon terminal : opened by depolarization of the terminal membrane. Located in the active zones: permeable to calcium ions only.
