What happens to synaptic vesicles when an action potential occurs?
What happens to synaptic vesicles when an action potential occurs?
- They go through reuptake
- They are transported to the presynaptic membrane
- They bind with the postsynaptic receptor
- They release their payload of neurotransmitters (correct)
What is the role of autoreceptors in the synaptic transmission process?
What is the role of autoreceptors in the synaptic transmission process?
- To transport synaptic vesicles to the presynaptic membrane
- To break down neurotransmitters through enzymatic deactivation
- To monitor the amount of neurotransmitters in the synaptic cleft (correct)
- To convert precursors into neurotransmitters
