Discussion progressed from a gross overview of neurotransmitters, to the mechanistic processes involved in neurotransmission, focusing on topics like:
- Otto Loewi's experiment to demonstrate presence of neurotransmitters
- Synapses - Overview, Types
- Synaptic events
- The Docking process & proteins involved
- Exocytosis of synaptic vesicles
- Synaptic Vesicular Recycling
- Experiments regarding role of Calcium in Neurotransmitter Release
- Quantal Release of Neurotransmitters
- Fate of released Neutrotransmitters
- Diseases affecting Neurotransmission
