Understanding presynaptic and postsynaptic inhibition
Presynaptic inhibition: A neuron N1 is inhibited "indirectly" insofar as the presynaptic excitatory neuron's action on it are dampened. This is typically achieved by neurotransmitter's impact on the presynaptic excitatory neuron which inhibit Ca2+ channels, and consequently prohibit vesicle release of neurotransmitter's into the synaptic cleft ...

2020年9月19日 · For presynaptic inhibition, I am aware of these: Ca²+ influx (into the presynaptic nerve terminal) is decreased. And this in turn reduces the probability of releasing synaptic vesicles from the presynaptic neuron. The influx of Ca²+ is under the influence of voltage-gated Ca²+ channels. My questions:
What is the difference between tonic and phasic firing?
2014年11月26日 · It may serve as keeping a steady background level of a certain neurotransmitter or it can serve as a mechanism where both an inhibition or increase in presynaptic input can be transmitted. When a neuron is silent at rest, only an increase in presynaptic activity can be transmitted postsynaptically.
How do we know if a neuron is inhibitory or excitatory?
Most of the inhibition caused by glutamate is the presynaptic inhibition type discussed in a previous Q&A; that is, it is suppressing the release of glutamate itself. In that sense, glutamatergic inhibition is only as effective as glutamatergic excitation is: the net effect of glutamate will always be excitatory in that system.

2015年11月1日 · Consider the following synaptic connections ():axodendritic - A term pertaining to an excitatory or inhibitory synaptic connection between the presynaptic axon of a transmitting neuron and the postsynaptic dendrite(s) of a receiving neuron in a nerve impulse pathway; such connections can influence whether or not a graded potential will be generated on a …

2012年1月30日 · When a presynaptic neuron fires it will release a neurotransmitter at its terminal(s). This neurotransmitter can be excitatory or inhibitory, the main excitatory one in the central nervous system being glutamate and the main inhibitory one GABA .
Differences between neurotransmitters and neuromodulators
2020年1月16日 · They are usually (but not necessary) released from presynaptic membranes into the synapse by the same mechanisms as classical neurotransmitters but can then leave the synapse through "spillover" and act on the neurons other than those involved in the synapse. So, their action is diffuse, but usually still limited to to certain neural pathways.
Release of Nor-Epinephrine by presynaptic beta receptors
2016年11月5日 · $\begingroup$ This a very interesting question! I'm assuming the "presumptive" is a typo for presynaptic. I don't know what you mean by 'hetero tropic interaction' in this context (I thought that was for enzymes) but still, the alpha2 presynaptic acts by coupling with the Gi, thereby reducing Ca+2 and reducing vesicle release.
Are neural connections one-way? - Biology Stack Exchange
The axon of the presynaptic neuron can connect e.g. to the dendrite of a postsynaptic neuron, and so they can form synapses in which they use neurotransmitters to transmit the signal. Figure 2 - synapse between two neurons; Figure 3 - neurotransmission; There can be different targets to an axon, not just dendrites, e.g. another axon, muscle ...
