Life cycle of a neurotransmitter
The process of chemical neurotransmission can be divided into five steps
1 Synthesis of the neurotransmitter in the presynaptic neuron
2 Storage of the neurotransmitter andor its precursor in the presynaptic nerve terminal
3 Release of the neurotransmitter into the synaptic cleft
4 Binding and recognition of the neurotransmitter by target receptors
5 Termination of the action of the released transmitter
