This lecture delves into the intricate world of synaptic transmission, exploring the differences between electrical and chemical synapses, the role of neurotransmitters, and the principles of neural plasticity. It covers topics such as the neuromuscular junction, ionotropic and metabotropic receptors, and the mechanisms behind short-term and long-term synaptic plasticity.
