How Do Neurotransmitters Facilitate Communication?
Neurotransmitters are released from the presynaptic neuron into the synaptic cleft and bind to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron. This binding can either excite or inhibit the postsynaptic neuron, depending on the type of neurotransmitter and receptor involved. Examples of neurotransmitters include acetylcholine, dopamine, and serotonin.
