Signal transmission in ligand-gated receptors.

Immunology and cell biology - 1 Oct 1998

Gage P W

Abstract excerpt

At synapses, a transmitter released from a pre-synaptic terminal binds to specific, ligand-gated receptors in the post-synaptic membrane to open up ion channels through the receptor molecules. The flow of ions through these channels generates electrical signals. Electrophysiological techniques have been used over the past 50 years to understand transmission of these signals at synapses. The most recent of these,...
