1)snythesis, 2) storage in vesicles, 3) breakdown of any neurotransmitter leaking from the vesicles, 4) exocytosis, 5) inhibitory feedback via autoreceptors, 6) activation of postsynaptic receptors, and 7) deactivation.

Is calcium a neurotransmitter?

No, calcium itself is not a neurotransmitter BUT it is highly important in the process of the action potential. The action potential triggers the influx of calcium at the end of the terminal bouton, causing the influx of Ca2+ into the cell and this triggers for the release of the neurotransmitter. :)

Agonists


A neuron will generate action potentials when it?

A neuron will generate action potential when it is stimulated by a neurotransmitter.


What would happen if the re-uptake of a stimulatory neurotransmitter was blocked?

The action of the excitatory neurotransmitter will increase, since its concentration in the synapse will rise.


What is an autoimmune disorder that involves the action of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine?

A concept map demonstrating the events of neurotransmitter?

Action potential reaches the action terminal of a nerve cell. This triggers calcium gated ion channels in the axon terminal to open, calcium rushes in. This causes vesicles filled with neurotransmitter to fuse to the membrane and dump the neurotransmitter into the synaptic cleft by exocytosis.

What is the difference between presynaptic and postsynaptic neurons?

Presynaptic neurons release the neurotransmitter in response to an action potential. Postsynaptic neurons receive the neurotransmitter (and can however become presynaptic to the next nerve cell, if the neurotransmitter has stimulated the cell enough).


Is Lorazepam an Mao?

no, it is a benzodiazepam. It increases the action of GABA in the brain- the main inhibitory neurotransmitter.


What is an antagonist in psychology?

Antagonist is basically a chemical that goes into the receptor site, when the action is finished. It has two jobs one is to clear the remaining neurotransmitter from synaptic gap; the other is to reduce the cell's response to a action caused by the neurotransmitter. Hope the answer helped you.

How LSD works?

LSD disrupts the action of serotonin, a neurotransmitter. Exactly how this disruption works is not clearly known.
