Serafini and colleagues provide evidence that neuroligin acts as a trans-neuronal signal to induce presynaptic differentiation at neuron–neuron connections in vitro. To form a synaptic ...

There are two types of removal: Re-uptake – the neurotransmitter is reabsorbed back into the presynaptic neuron and restored inside a vesicle ready to be used again. For example, noradrenaline.

For this communication to occur, the presynaptic neuron releases a neurotransmitter, which is then received by a postsynaptic ...

Methylphenidate is thought to block the reuptake of norepinephrine and dopamine into the presynaptic neuron and increase the release of these monoamines into the extraneuronal space. Swallow whole.
