Chemical Events in Neurons

The human brain contains billions of neurons. Each neuron generates its own neurotransmitters that may influence the functioning of adjacent neurons. For this discussion:

• Explain the events that occur during neurotransmission, from the presynaptic to postsynaptic stages. As you describe these steps, consider the different steps of neurotransmission and think about how each step provides a place where medications can intervene. Be sure to cite research to support.
