Only sensory neurons are found in a reflex arc.
The amount of temporal summation depends on the rate of stimulation.
At synapses, the cell that receives the message is called the presynaptic neuron.
Electrical communication between neurons is faster than chemical communication within neurons.
Transmission of information between neurons occurs in the same way as transmission along an axon.
Most of the known neurotransmitters are synthesized from amino acids.
Inhibitory synapses actively suppress excitatory responses.
Neurotransmitter levels in the brain can be affected by changes in diet.
Gases can be used as neurotransmitters.
Spatial summation is the result of synaptic inputs from different locations arriving at the same time.
Most neurons release more than one kind of neurotransmitter.
Most of the brain’s excitatory ionotropic synapses use the neurotransmitter glutamate.
Generally speaking, a neuron will release a greater number of neurotransmitters than what it will respond to with its own receptors.
Metabotropic synapses use a large variety of transmitters.
Whether or not a neurotransmitter is excitatory depends on the response of the postsynaptic receptor.
