Synaptic transmission is the process by which signaling molecules known as neurotransmitters are released by a neuron and bind to receptors on another cell, typically another neuron or muscle cell, leading to a response.
Key Features
- Neurotransmitter release
- Receptor binding
- Cell response
Pros
- Critical for communication between neurons
- Essential for various physiological functions such as movement, cognition, and emotion
