Neurotransmitters and synapses are involved in the process by which neurons communicate with each other: • • Neurotransmitters • Small organic molecules that carry information between neurons. They are released into the synaptic cleft by the presynaptic neuron, and then bind to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron. The type of neurotransmitter released determines the type of ions that flow into or out of the postsynaptic neuron, which either excites or inhibits the neuron. • • Synapses • Gaps between neurons that allow neurotransmitters to pass from one neuron to the other. The synaptic cleft is the space between the presynaptic and postsynaptic neurons, and is about 20–40 nanometers wide. • • Neurotransmission • The process by which neurotransmitters carry information across synapses. It involves the release of neurotransmitters, their diffusion across the synaptic cleft, and their binding to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron. • • Neurotransmitter classes • Different classes of neurotransmitters include amino acids, monoamines, peptides, and purines. Some examples of neurotransmitters include acetylcholine, octopamine, serotonin, dopamine, glutamate, gamma-aminobutryic acid (GABA), and glycine. • #neurology #neurons #communication #3danimation #shortvideo #transmitter #brain #shorts
