This lecture covers the diverse neurotransmitters involved in synaptic transmission, including glutamate, acetylcholine, and dopamine. It explains the cellular mechanisms of fast chemical synaptic transmission, the activation of ligand-gated ion channels, and the excitatory and inhibitory synapses. The lecture also discusses the electron microscopy of synaptic structure and how neurons communicate at synapses.
