This document discusses synaptic transmission between neurons. It describes how neurons communicate through synapses, where neurotransmitters are released by the presynaptic neuron and bind to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron. This causes ion channels to open, resulting in an excitatory or inhibitory postsynaptic potential that influences whether an action potential is generated in the postsynaptic cell. The document covers different types of synapses and neurotransmitters, as well as processes like synaptic integration and long-term potentiation that are important for neural communication and functions like learning and memory.
