Neurotransmission also called synaptic transmission, is the process by which signaling molecules called neurotransmitters are released by a neuron (the presynaptic neuron), and bind to and activate the receptors of another neuron (the postsynaptic neuron). Neurotransmission is essential for the process of communication between two neurons.
In 1921, an Austrian scientist named Otto Loewi discovered the first neurotransmitter. In his experiment he used two frog hearts. One heart (heart #1) was still connected to the vagus nerve. Heart #1 was placed in a chamber that was filled with saline. This chamber was connected to a second chamber that contained heart #2. So, fluid from chamber #1 was allowed to flow into chamber #2.
Electrical stimulation of the vagus nerve (which was attached to heart #1) caused heart #1 to slow down. Loewi also observed that after a delay, heart #2 also slowed down. From this experiment, Loewi hypothesized that electrical stimulation of the vagus nerve released a chemical into the fluid of chamber #1 that flowed into chamber #2. He called this chemical "Vagusstoff". We now know this chemical as the neurotransmitter called acetylcholine.

ReplyDeleteDr Pinkie ,no were in love, but my Wife has mental conditions or nervise brake downs, do to the place we are forced to live,we did live in Glendora California for seven years,but when they flipped the property, our rent went to high, and when they found out me, and my disabled wife ,don't make three times the rent,they through the courts, told us, seven months ago that we have 60 days to pay and quit. So for the past five months we been in a motel struggling to just pay the rent 1400 plus we get close to 2000 a month, but with our rent and gasoline, plus medications, we have to go to food banks, just to eat and are car insurance too.
