With the acceptance of chemical neurotransmission came the recognition that synaptic transmission required a number of discrete processes: synthesis of the neurotransmitter, its storage, release, and interaction with receptors and termination of its actions. This chapter is concerned with synthesis, with metabolic degradation, and with two transport steps, one for storing the neurotransmitter in vesicles and one for terminating the responses to released neurotransmitter.
