What Are Microglia?
The brain is like a really fancy restaurant. Itês picky about who it lets inside. You have to be one of the privileged few. But even fancy restaurants need to be cleaned up and protected, right? Who does the dirty work? In this episode...

016 The Release of Neurotransmitter
When the action potential reaches the axon terminal, this triggers a series of events that result in the release of neurotransmitter to the synaptic cleft. Neurotransmitters bind to the receptors on the postsynaptic membrane causing a...
