  • Title: Synaptic transmission: exciting times for presynaptic receptors.
    Author: Vitten H, Isaacson JS.
    Journal: Curr Biol; 2001 Sep 04; 11(17):R695-7. PubMed ID: 11553342.
    Abstract:
    Presynaptic receptors play an important role - typically inhibitory--in modulating the strength of synaptic transmission in the brain. Recent studies now reveal that neurotransmitters can enhance synaptic strength by activating ligand-gated ion channels in presynaptic nerve endings.
