Synaptic transmission I The Synapse I How Neurons Communicate

How do nerve cells talk to each other? In this video, Dr. Kushner covers synaptic transmission. Synaptic transmission is the process by which neurons communicate with each other in the nervous system. It occurs across synapses ("synaptic cleft"), which are small gaps between neurons.
Corrections - 7:08 I incorrectly use the word "dock" to describe calcium's effect on vesicles. Docking is a very specific term used to describe the process by which vesicles are brought close to the presynaptic membrane in preparation for the release of neurotransmitters.

    This is such an underrated channel, explanations about everything is so good. I've noticed that you don't upload videos very often but i beg you to please make more videos, i know you might be busy but as a student i really like your teaching method. It's really short and simple and you also give plenty memory tricks and other related facts which is very helpful. Sir you make everything easy to understand and drawings are just so perfect, the texts are so pretty at first i thought it was presentation but when i carefully noticed it was manually done. Your presentation is so subtle and you don't waste time in the beginning of your videos which is perfect. If it is possible for you i would like to request other various major/famous topics from different psychology fields (such as history of psychology, social psychology, about some famous psychologist and their work, some famous theories, etc) i would really like to learn more from you. As dumba** students we need you, sir😭🙏🏻(those who agree please like my comment so this wonderful teacher realise that how many students want to learn from him) [also those videos about AP exam was really good you explained every option and as I'm preparing for entrance exam those kinds of Q-A videos really helped me, thank you sir]

    What about potassium?

    Yep. Those channels will open after depolarization and return the neuron to a resting membrane potential (RMP).

    ​@@PsychExplainedso if im understanding correctly. After the neurotransmission has occured the potassium repolarizes the presynaptic neuron by entering said neuron?
