Neurotransmitters
... Neurotransmitters are endogenous chemicals which relay, amplify, and modulate signals between a neuron and another cell. Neurotransmitters are packaged into synaptic vesicles that cluster beneath the membrane on the presynaptic side of a synapse, and are released into the synaptic cleft, where they ...

Neurotransmitters
... • Sometimes there is a decrease in the number of receptors for a neurotransmitter on the postsynaptic neuron due to long-term exposure to the neurotransmitter. This is called downregulation. • Neurotransmitters can be classified into 4 major groups: 1. Amino acids (eg, glutamate, gamma-aminobutyric ...
