In this video I discuss some ways that drugs can influence the functioning of neurotransmitters by binding to receptors on postsynaptic neurons. I explain the difference between agonist drugs which increase effects of a neurotransmitter and antagonist drugs which reduce … Read More
How Neurons Communicate: The Synapse
In this video I explain how two neurons communicate using a neurotransmitter that travels across the synapse to receptor sites. This neurotransmitter can then influence the flow of ions in the postsynaptic neuron which can change its likelihood of firing … Read More
