Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) is a remarkable biological messenger that participates in a wide range of functions in the central and peripheral nervous systems. Since this free-radical gas cannot be stored in synaptic vesicles like other neurotransmitters, the activity of nitric oxide synthase must be carefully modulated to provide appropriate levels of NO.
