Study Notes
- A neurotransmitter connection allows for communication between neurons in the brain and nervous system
- A nerve impulse triggers the release of neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft
- Neurotransmitters bind to specific receptors on the receiving neuron's membrane
- This binding opens ion channels, allowing charged ions to enter the neuron
- The influx of ions triggers an electrical impulse called an action potential
- Neurotransmitters are removed from the synaptic cleft to prevent continuous signaling
- The process is complex and involves biochemical events
- The proper functioning of the nervous system depends on neurotransmitter connections
- Various factors can affect neurotransmitter connections, such as chemicals, drugs, and diseases
- The process is essential for the rapid and efficient communication between neurons.
