Synaptic transmission: Cellular Mechanisms

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.
