Video Introduction

The content is sourced from: https://youtu.be/k5RafiYXieo?si=uFMiVP_E5pqPntXV

In this video, I cover the different components of a synapse, including the presynaptic neuron, postsynaptic neuron, synaptic cleft, and synaptic vesicles. I discuss how signals are propagated at chemical synapses through the use of neurotransmitters, as well as how neurotransmitters are removed from the synaptic cleft by enzymes and/or reuptake. I also cover the components and function of electrical synapses. ^[1]^[2]

Key points:

00:00 General introduction to synapses

1:23 Different components of a chemical synapse

4:28 Termination of synaptic transmission (e.g., enzymes, reuptake)

6:55 Electrical synapses
