axodendritic, axosomatic synapses
neuron malfunction
when drugs alter the neuronal function
en passant synapse
Serotonin (5HT), Norepinephrine, dopamine, acetylcholine, glutamate, GABA (y-aminobutyric acid)
B-endorphin
Anandamide
The striatum (basal ganglia)
basal ganglia function
the prefrontal cortex
Communication between neurons is via
Excitation-secretion coupling
voltage-sensitive sodium channels (VSSCs) and voltage-sensitive calcium channgels (VSCCs)
ion channels
Sodium flows into the presynaptic nerve through the sodium channel in the axon membrane,
retrograde neurotransmission is
postsynaptic neuron to presynaptic neuron is
