Synaptic Transmission at a Chemical Synapse | Quantal Release of Neurotransmitters

The human has 86 billion neurons, and every neuron makes 1000 to 10000 connections with other neurons---these connections are called synapses. This video introduces the dynamic steps at each synapse, where the activity of the "from" pre-synaptic neuron causes changes in activity in the "to" post-synaptic neuron.

The video goes through all the molecular steps involved in a chemical synapse, the mechanism of synaptic vesicle fusion to release neurotransmitters, the quantal neurotransmitter release hypothesis, and mechanisms whereby a synaptic action is terminated.

Thank you very much for sharing all of your videos in this playlist Dr Bing. I recently discovered the topic of mathematical neuroscience and am preparing for a career transition and by watching your videos I was able to reassert that I'm on the right track. You are very didatic and genuinely inspiring, thanks again!

Excellent video, thank you very much for posting this. I was mainly looking for a good explanation of the histogram from Katz experiment, but the entire video was super useful.

Great presentation.
Posted out of order with the next one, though.

Great course. Love it.
Small typo at the timeline description: "Proton Distribution" instead of Poisson Distribution
