neurotransmitter receptors and signaling mechanisms

Neurotransmitter receptors are specialized proteins located on the surface of nerve cells that respond to chemical signals called neurotransmitters. These receptors play a crucial role in transmitting and receiving messages within the nervous system. Signaling mechanisms refer to the complex processes by which neurotransmitters bind to their receptors, trigger a response in the receiving neuron, and ultimately lead to the transmission of information between nerve cells.
