NO then enters another cell where it activates enzymes for the production of "second messengers. Neurotransmitters will bind only to specific receptors on the postsynaptic membrane that recognize them. Neurotransmitters and Neuroactive Peptides Communication of information between neurons is accomplished by movement of chemicals across a small gap called the synapse.
Discovery of Neurotransmitters In , an Austrian scientist named Otto Loewi discovered the first neurotransmitter. Otto Loewi's Experiment Neurotransmitter Criteria Neuroscientists have set up a few guidelines or criteria to prove that a chemical is really a neurotransmitter.
The chemical must be produced within a neuron. The chemical must be found within a neuron. When a neuron is stimulated depolarized , a neuron must release the chemical. When a chemical is released, it must act on a post-synaptic receptor and cause a biological effect.
After a chemical is released, it must be inactivated. Inactivation can be through a reuptake mechanism or by an enzyme that stops the action of the chemical. If the chemical is applied on the post-synaptic membrane, it should have the same effect as when it is released by a neuron. Neurotransmitter Types There are many types of chemicals that act as neurotransmitter substances. Transport and Release of Neurotransmitters Neurotransmitters are made in the cell body of the neuron and then transported down the axon to the axon terminal.
Inactivation of Neurotransmitters The action of neurotransmitters can be stopped by four different mechanisms: 1. Karayannis, T.

Video transcript In this video, I wanna talk about how neurotransmitters are removed from the synapse. In other videos, we've talked about how action potentials travel down axons, and the information that's contained in action potentials, is really contained in the frequency of action potential firing, and the duration of a train of action potentials.
