Exocytosis. As a result of the influx of Calcium ions, the synaptic vesicles transport the neurotransmitter Ach (Acetylcholine) to the presynaptic membrane, the vesicles fuse to the membrane, and the neurotransmiffer, Ach, diffuses. Once the neurotransmitters cross the synaptic cleft, they bind to the receptors on the post synaptic membrane. Hope it helps a bit.
Lamotrigine is thought to act at sodium channels in the neuron (nerve cell) to reduce the amount of excitatory neurotransmitters that the nerve cell releases.
Neurotransmitters
Neurotransmitters released by 1 nerve cell are received by another neuron. The receptor of a postsynaptic neuron receives the neurotransmitters.
At the distal end, and axon usually has a terminal arborization(Telodendria)- and extensive complex of fine branches. Each branch ends in a synaptic knob(Terminal button), a little swelling that forms a junction (synapse) with the next cell. It contains synaptic vesicles full of neurotransmitters.
The axon terminal of a nerve cell is adjacent to the neuromuscular junction. The axon terminal releases neurotransmitters that transmit signals across the synapse to the muscle fiber. This signal triggers muscle contraction.

The dendrite releases neurotransmitters.
The axon terminals
Neurotransmitters are used to send messages from cell to cell, usually neuron to neuron. Neurotransmitters are released from the pre-synapse, which is at the axon terminus. These neurotransmitters are picked up by the post-synapse on the receiving cell. These post-synapses are located on structures called dendrites or on the cell body.

Neurotransmitters attach to proteins with sugars attached. The receptors then tell the molecules what to do and where to go in the cell.
