Neurotransmitters, Receptors, and Transporters

Overview

Neurotransmission is simply the propagation of a nerve impulse. Research in this area focuses on the production and transport of neurotransmitters in the synapse, and the effect of defective neurotransmission. After neurotransmitters have been released into the synaptic cleft, they are received by receptors in the postsynaptic neuron in order to relay a signal.
