Neurotransmitter receptors and postsynaptic signal transmission
Click the image above or here to open this pathway in the Pathway Browser
The neurotransmitter in the synaptic cleft released by the pre-synaptic neuron binds specific receptors located on the post-synaptic terminal. These receptors are either ion channels or G protein coupled receptors that function to transmit the signals from the post-synaptic membrane to the cell body.
