Release of Biogenic Amines from Isolated Nerve Endings

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Transport Phenomena in the Nervous System

Part of the book series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology ((AEMB,volume 69))

Abstract

Two essential biochemical steps of the aminergic neurotransmission are the release of the neurotransmitter and its reuptake by presynaptic nerve terminals. Many neuroactive drugs are believed to modify the availability of the neurotransmitter amines in the synaptic cleft by interacting with these processes 8, 10, 14, 20, 23.
