Synaptic transmission: how is the release of neurotransmitter controlled?doi:10.1080/00219266.1989.9655040Peter J. SimmonsDepartment of BiologyUniversity of Newcastle upon TyneJournal of Biological Education
As the intensity of the stimulus increases, so does the frequency of action potentials. On the next page, we'll learn about how nerves communicate with each other. Synaptic Transmission Like wires in your home's electrical system, nerve cells make connections with one another in circuits ...

(a) How does the brain, behavior, and the environment influence sexuality? (b) Provide an example of this influence. How can a chemical that would turn on phospholipase C affect synaptic transmission? How is cortisol release controlled and influenced?
(GLRs), the effect which is surprisingly very similar to inhibition of nerve impulse transmission in animals or human. However, GVAs act also as a stressor for plants and can induce their own Ca2+signature, which strongly reprograms gene expression . Down-regulation of genes encoding enzymes ...
How can a chemical that would turn on phospholipase C affect synaptic transmission? What does the SNS control? How does it differ from the PNS? What factors may affect the rate of drug absorption? Explain why it is simplistic to say that anti-depressant drugs work ...
As remained in the ALSPAC (n = 4303), suggesting specific glucocorticoids are potent modulators of synaptic function effects of prenatal programming, in addition to environ- and plasticity, it is likely that exposure to stressors during mental and genetic factors, for a neuropsychiatric condition ...
Antidepressants are designed to block various aspects of the synaptic transmission process in serotonin, norepinephrine and dopamine-containing neurons in the brain. This increases the levels of these neurotransmitters. By increasing the levels of these neurotransmitters, mood and emotions should stabilize ...
The α9 and α10 nicotinic cholinergic subunits assemble to form the receptor that mediates synaptic transmission between efferent olivocochlear fibers and hair cells of the cochlea. They are the latest vertebrate nicotinic cholinergic receptor (nAChR) subunits that have been cloned, and their identific...
Describe the process of synaptic transmission. Begin by describing how the action potential occurs. End by describing the binding of the neurotransmitter to receptors. Describe Muscarinic vs. Nicotinic Receptors. (a) What are the types of receptors? (b) Describe their functions. ...
