    Molecular view of glutamatergic synapse

    6992

    This illustration highlights spherical pre-synaptic vesicles that carry the neurotransmitter glutamate. The presynaptic and postsynaptic membranes are shown with proteins relevant for transmitting and modulating the neuronal signal.

    PDB 101’s Opioids and Pain Signaling video explains how glutamatergic synapses are involved in the process of pain signaling.
    Public NoteTwo large peach spheres surrounded by blobs of many colors.
