Within the presynaptic nerve terminal, vesicles containing neurotransmitter are localized near the synaptic membrane. (14 words)
Integration of synaptic inputs main In general, if an excitatory synapse is strong enough, an action potential in the presynaptic neuron will trigger an action potential in the postsynaptic cell. (30 words)
Afterward, inside the presynaptic terminal, a new set of vesicles are moved into position next to the membrane, ready to be released when the next action potential arrives. (28 words)
The effect upon the postsynaptic neuron is determined not by the presynaptic neuron or by the neurotransmitter, but by the type of receptor that is activated. (26 words)

At a chemical synapse, the cell that sends signals is called presynaptic, and the cell that receives signals is called postsynaptic.
Both the presynaptic and postsynaptic areas are full of molecular machinery that carries out the signalling process.
Chemical synapses pass information directionally from a presynaptic cell to a postsynaptic cell and are therefore asymmetric in structure and function.

In invertebrates, this clearly indicates that, e.g., Microbracon (wasp genus) venom causes paralysis of the neuromuscular system by acting at a presynaptic site.
Integration of synaptic inputs main In general, if an excitatory synapse is strong enough, an action potential in the presynaptic neuron will trigger an action potential in the postsynaptic cell.
Ligand binding opens the channel causing influx of Na + depolarization and increases the probability of presynaptic neurotransmitter release.

The effect upon the postsynaptic neuron is determined not by the presynaptic neuron or by the neurotransmitter, but by the type of receptor that is activated.
These can be postsynaptic dopamine receptors, which are located on dendrites (the postsynaptic neuron), or presynaptic autoreceptors (e.
When an action potential arrives at the synapse's presynaptic terminal button, it may stimulate the release of neurotransmitters.
