stimulating
GABA effect
inhibiting
god’s pharmacopeia
body has its own drugs and receptors
co-transmission
usually the case
something other than the neurotransmitter is transported into the cell as well
allosteric modulation
changes the effect a neurotransmitter is already having
transport speed of neurotransmitters
very fast for glutamate and GABA, in milliseconds
slower, up to seconds for monoamines and neuropeptides
neuropeptides
signalling between cells
in synapses
only chemically
classical neurotransmission
electrical impuls in presynaptic
chemical message through cleft
= excitation-secretion coupling
retrograde neurotransmission
postsynaptic is talking back to presynaptic
three primary transmitters that do retrograde transmission
endocannabinoids
nitric oxide
neurotropic factors
