Q&A
What is a neurotransmitter?
Neurotransmitter is a chemical molecule that is released from the synaptic vesicle into the synaptic cleft that will eventually bind with the post-synaptic receptor.
Usually there are receptors at the post-synaptic neuron that bind with the neurotransmitter, but sometimes there are also auto-receptors at the pre-synaptic neuron that bind with the neurotransmitter to regulate the pre-synaptic neuron’s function.
