Neurotransmitterne af en neuron muliggør en nerveimpuls til?
Neurotransmission (latin: transmissio "passage, passage" fra transmittere "sende, lade igennem"), også kaldet synaptisk transmission, er den proces, hvorved signalmolekyler kaldet neurotransmittere frigives af en neuron (den præsynaptiske neuron) og binder sig til og aktiverer receptorerne i en anden neuron (den postsynaptiske neuron). Neurotransmission er afgørende for kommunikationsprocessen mellem to neuroner. Synaptisk transmission er afhængig af: tilgængeligheden af neurotransmitteren, frigivelse af neurotransmitteren ved eksocytose, binding af den postsynaptiske receptor med neurotransmitteren, den postsynaptiske celles funktionelle reaktion og den efterfølgende fjernelse eller deaktivering af neurotransmitteren.
Neurotransmission (Latin: transmissio "passage, crossing" from transmittere "send, let through"), also called synaptic transmission, is the process by which signaling molecules called neurotransmitters are released by a neuron (the presynaptic neuron), and bind to and activate the receptors of another neuron (the postsynaptic neuron). Neurotransmission is essential for the process of communication between two neurons. Synaptic transmission relies on: the availability of the neurotransmitter; the release of the neurotransmitter by exocytosis; the binding of the postsynaptic receptor by the neurotransmitter; the functional response of the postsynaptic cell; and the subsequent removal or deactivation of the neurotransmitter.
