- The process of synaptic transmission
- The release of neurotransmitter into the synapse. Neurotransmitter binding with receptors on the dendrite or next neuron to binding another impulse.
- Neurons can only transmit information in one direction at a synapse
- The synaptic vesicles containing the neurotransmitter are only released from the presynaptic membrane.
- The receptors for the neurotransmitters are only present on the postsynaptic membrane.
- It is the binding of the neurotransmitter to the receptor, which enables the information to be passed to the next neuron.
