neuronilähettämät
Neuronilähettämät refers to the process by which neurons communicate with each other. This communication happens at specialized junctions called synapses. When a neuron, specifically the presynaptic neuron, is activated, it sends an electrical signal called an action potential down its axon. This electrical signal reaches the axon terminal, the end of the neuron.
At the axon terminal, the electrical signal triggers the release of chemical messengers known as neurotransmitters
The released neurotransmitters then diffuse across the synaptic cleft and bind to specific receptor proteins on
Once the neurotransmitter has served its purpose, it is either broken down by enzymes in the synaptic
