Chapter 3 delves into the intricate mechanisms of chemical signalling by neurotransmitters and hormones within the nervous system. It begins with the basic concepts of synaptic transmission, highlighting the directionality from presynaptic to postsynaptic cells and the structural components of synapses, such as axodendritic and axosomatic synapses. The chapter further explores neurotransmitters' synthesis, release, and inactivation, noting the diverse chemical classes, including amino acids, mo...
