Definitions:

Neural Transmission

The process by which nerve cells (neurons) communicate with each other by transmitting chemical and electrical signals across synapses.

Ionotropic Receptors

These are a type of neurotransmitter receptor that forms an ion channel pore, rapidly changing the ion permeability of the cell membrane upon ligand binding.

Metabotropic Receptors

A type of G protein-coupled receptor in the cell membrane that initiates a cascade of cellular responses when bound to a neurotransmitter.

Synapse Change

Refers to the structural or functional modification of synapses, the junctions between neurons, which underlies learning and memory.
