Neurotransmitters | Types of Neurotransmitters in Central Nervous System | Neurotransmission Example

Electrical signals that form in neurons, that is, action potentials, spread along the axon towards the terminal bouton, where they are spread onto the neighbouring neurons via the synaptic clefts. Excitatory neurons increase the electrical activity of the neighbouring neurons and can generate an action potential in them. Inhibitory neurons, however, reduce the electrical activity of the neighbouring neurons and thereby prevent the formation of action potential in them. In most synapses, chemical
