Neural Conduction, Action Potential, and Synaptic Transmission
We have probably heard that neurons are the cells that transmit information around the body. But how does this work? Is it actual electricity? Like from the wall socket? What is a synapse? What happens there, in between one neuron and the next? This is a really big and really important topic, so let's dive in.

Excitatory Post Synaptic Potential (EPSP) | Easy Flowchart | Physiology
an excitatory postsynaptic potential (EPSP) is a postsynaptic potential that makes the postsynaptic neuron more likely to fire an action potential. This temporary depolarization of postsynaptic membrane potential, caused by the flow of positively charged ions into the postsynaptic cell, is a result of opening ligand-gated ion channels. These are the opposite of inhibitory postsynaptic potentials (IPSPs), which usually result from the flow of negative ions into the cell or positive ions out of the cell. EPSPs can also result from a decrease in outgoing positive charges, while IPSPs are sometimes caused by an increase in positive charge outflow. The flow of ions that causes an EPSP is an excitatory postsynaptic current (EPSC).

TRANSCRIPT:
Welcome to 2 minute neuroscience, where I simplistically explain neuroscience topics in 2 minutes or less. In this installment I will discuss synaptic transmission.
Most communication between neurons occurs at a specialized structure called a synapse. A synapse is an area where two neurons come close enough to one another that they are able to pass chemical signals from one cell to another. The neurons are not actually connected, but are separated by a microscopically small space called the synaptic cleft. The cleft is less than 40 nanometers wide; by comparison a human hair is about 75,000 nanometers.
The neuron where the signal is initiated is called the presynaptic neuron, while the neuron that receives the signal is called the postsynaptic neuron. In the presynaptic neuron, there are chemical signals called neurotransmitters that are packaged into small sacs called vesicles. Each vesicle can contain thousands of neurotransmitter molecules. When the presynaptic neuron is excited by an electrical signal called an action potential it causes these vesicles to fuse with the presynaptic membrane and release their contents into the synaptic cleft.
Once they are in the synaptic cleft, neurotransmitters interact with receptors on the postsynaptic membrane. They bind to these receptors and can cause an action to occur in the postsynaptic cell as a result. This action may involve increasing the likelihood that the postsynaptic cell will become activated and itself fire an action potential, or decreasing it (inhibition).
Eventually, the neurotransmitter molecules must be cleared from the synaptic cleft. Some of them will simply drift away in a process called diffusion. In some cases, the neurotransmitter is taken back up into the presynaptic neuron in a process called reuptake. Once back inside the presynaptic neuron, the neurotransmitter can be recycled and reused. In other cases, enzymes break down the neurotransmitter within the synapse. Then the component parts can be sent back into the presynaptic neuron to make more neurotransmitter.

Neurons communicate with each other mainly via chemical messages, or neurotransmitters. When a neuron is sufficiently stimulated, an electrical impulse called an action potential is generated and travels down the axon to the nerve terminal. Here, it triggers the release of a neurotransmitter into the synaptic cleft - a space between neurons. The neurotransmitter then binds to a receptor on a neighboring neuron, generating a signal in it, thereby transmitting the information to that neuron.
The neuron that releases the neurotransmitter is the pre-synaptic neuron, while the one that receives the signal is the post-synaptic neuron.
The axon of the pre-synaptic neuron may form a synapse with either a dendrite, the cell body, or the axon of the post-synaptic neuron, giving rise to an axodendritic, axosomatic, or axoaxonic synapse, respectively.
Chemical synapses exist not only between neurons, but also between a neuron and a target cell, such as muscle, or gland cell.
Over a hundred of neurotransmitters have been identified so far. Most of them can be grouped into classes according to their chemical structure. Major classes include:
- Amino acids, such as glycine, glutamate, aspartate, and GABA.
- Small peptides, called neuropeptides, such as beta-endorphin and substance P.
- Monoamines, such as epinephrine, norepinephrine, dopamine, serotonin, and histamine. Monoamines are basically amino acids with the acid group removed.
- And acetylcholine, an ester of choline, in its own class by itself.
Neurotransmitters are synthesized in the presynaptic neuron and stored in small sacs, called synaptic vesicles, at the axon terminal. Some of these vesicles are docked on plasma membrane, ready to release neurotransmitter on demand. When an action potential arrives at the nerve terminal, the resulting depolarization opens voltage-gated calcium channels, allowing calcium to flow in. Calcium causes the vesicles to fuse with plasma membrane, releasing the neurotransmitter in a process known as exocytosis.
Upon binding to their receptors on the postsynaptic cell, some neurotransmitters open ligand-gated ion channels, causing direct changes to membrane potential of the receiving neuron, while others act through second-messenger systems to exert their effect.
Some neurotransmitters are excitatory, others are inhibitory; and for some, the effect can be either excitatory or inhibitory depending on the receptor they bind to.

an excitatory postsynaptic potential (EPSP) is a postsynaptic potential that makes the postsynaptic neuron more likely to fire an action potential. This temporary depolarization of postsynaptic membrane potential, caused by the flow of positively charged ions into the postsynaptic cell, is a result of opening ligand-gated ion channels. These are the opposite of inhibitory postsynaptic potentials (IPSPs), which usually result from the flow of negative ions into the cell or positive ions out of the cell. EPSPs can also result from a decrease in outgoing positive charges, while IPSPs are sometimes caused by an increase in positive charge outflow. The flow of ions that causes an EPSP is an excitatory postsynaptic current (EPSC).
EPSPs, like IPSPs, are graded (i.e. they have an additive effect). When multiple EPSPs occur on a single patch of postsynaptic membrane, their combined effect is the sum of the individual EPSPs. Larger EPSPs result in greater membrane depolarization and thus increase the likelihood that the postsynaptic cell reaches the threshold for firing an action potential.
EPSPs in living cells are caused chemically. When an active presynaptic cell releases neurotransmitters into the synapse, some of them bind to receptors on the postsynaptic cell. Many of these receptors contain an ion channel capable of passing positively charged ions either into or out of the cell (such receptors are called ionotropic receptors). At excitatory synapses, the ion channel typically allows sodium into the cell, generating an excitatory postsynaptic current. This depolarizing current causes an increase in membrane potential, the EPSP.
