The neurotransmitters from one neuron have direct effect on the next neuron. They are channels that are used to transmit messages in the nerves.

Vesicle are not fusing with the membrane and releasing neurotransmitter.

It is possible that nothing is wrong with the first neuron and that the second neuron has been desensitized, or if it is the first neuron then vesicles are not fusing with the membrane and releasing neurotransmitters. This could be because a toxin has damaged the proteins that control vesicle integration, or because the calcium channels have been blocked, or in the lab setting the terminal may have run out of neurotransmitter.
The effect of a neurotransmitter is determined by the type of receptors it binds to on the postsynaptic neuron. If the neurotransmitter activates ion channels that allow positive ions to flow into the neuron, it typically has an excitatory effect, leading to depolarization. Conversely, if it opens channels for negative ions or closes channels for positive ions, it results in hyperpolarization and an inhibitory effect. Thus, the same neurotransmitter can have different effects depending on the receptor type and the ions involved.
I believe it's Na+
a neurotransmitter such as acetylcholine, or dopamine. Even a neuropeptide.They will cause a receptor gated channel to open post synaptically
A neuron releases a chemical called a neurotransmitter that will signal other neurons.
Calcium ions are responsible for triggering the fusion of neurotransmitter vesicles with the axon's membrane during the conduction of a nerve impulse. The influx of calcium ions into the neuron's terminal triggers the release of neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft.
There is a closed space between them. It is called as synapse. A chemical is released in this space called neurotransmitter. Over 50 are identified but there may be several hundred of them. Most common are acetylcholine, noradrenaline, adrenaline, serotonin, dopamine, histamine, glycine, aspartate, glutamate etc. Acetylcholine is destroyed in milliseconds by an enzyme acetylcholinesterase. Noradrenaline is taken up back. So with the help of neurotransmitter signals are passed to next neuron.
