Inhibition of a stimulatory neuron before it synapses, by inhibiting Ca2+ entry and blocking downstream processes, preventing neurotransmitter release, and therefore preventing the neuron generating and EPSP post-synaptically.

What is an example of a presynaptic cell?

An example of a presynaptic cell is a neuron that releases neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft to communicate with the postsynaptic cell.


Are neurotransmitter expelled from the presynaptic cells?

Yes, neurotransmitters are released from the presynaptic cells into the synaptic cleft where they can bind to receptors on the postsynaptic cell. This release occurs in response to an action potential traveling down the axon of the presynaptic neuron.


What ion must flow into the presynaptic cell in order for it to release neurotransmitter?

Calcium ions (Ca²⁺) must flow into the presynaptic cell for neurotransmitter release. When an action potential reaches the presynaptic terminal, voltage-gated calcium channels open, allowing Ca²⁺ to enter the cell. This influx of calcium triggers the fusion of neurotransmitter-containing vesicles with the presynaptic membrane, leading to the release of neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft.


What are the synaptic events?

Synaptic events refer to the processes involved in communication between neurons at synapses. These events include neurotransmitter release from the presynaptic neuron, binding of neurotransmitters to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron, and subsequent changes in the postsynaptic neuron's membrane potential. This can lead to excitation or inhibition of the postsynaptic neuron based on the type of neurotransmitter and receptors involved.


Describe how transmission of impulses across synapses can be controlled?

They can be controlled by neurotransmitter levels, function, and by pre- and postsynaptic receptors, as well as by their component messengers and intermediaries (such as cyclic AMP and others).

Presynaptic inhibition is the opposite of?

Presynaptic inhibition is the opposite of presynaptic facilitation. In presynaptic inhibition, the release of neurotransmitters from the presynaptic neuron is reduced, leading to a decrease in synaptic transmission. In contrast, presynaptic facilitation enhances neurotransmitter release, increasing the strength of synaptic transmission.


What is presynaptic inhibition and how does it regulate neurotransmitter release in the nervous system?

Presynaptic inhibition is a process in which the release of neurotransmitters from a neuron is reduced by another neuron. This regulation occurs when the inhibitory neuron releases a neurotransmitter that decreases the excitability of the presynaptic neuron, leading to a decrease in neurotransmitter release. This mechanism helps to fine-tune communication between neurons and maintain balance in the nervous system.


Is allosteric inhibition competitive or noncompetitive?

Allosteric inhibition is a type of noncompetitive inhibition.


What is The process by which the neurotransmitter substance leaves the presynaptic terminal button is called?

What is an example of a presynaptic cell?

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).


Are neurotransmitter expelled from the presynaptic cells?

Yes, neurotransmitters are released from the presynaptic cells into the synaptic cleft where they can bind to receptors on the postsynaptic cell. This release occurs in response to an action potential traveling down the axon of the presynaptic neuron.


How is competitive inhibition different from competitive inhibition?

Competitive Inhibition is a substance that binds to the active site in place of the substance while Non-competitive Inhibition is a substance that binds to a location remote from the active site. (:

What is the difference between presynaptic and postsynaptic neurons in the context of synaptic transmission?

Presynaptic neurons send signals, while postsynaptic neurons receive signals in synaptic transmission. Presynaptic neurons release neurotransmitters that travel across the synapse to bind to receptors on postsynaptic neurons, triggering a response.
