neurotransmitters - Coggle Diagram

- - - - neurotransmitters are stored in the axon until further use
        
        in the synaptic gap the neurotransmitter either
        
        gets pulled back to the axon terminal
        
        gets released and reaches into the post-synaptic membrane on the opposite neuron and binds onto the receptors on the surface
        
        this changes the membrane potential and activates a new electric pulse in the post-synaptic neuron
        
        this becomes electrical information transmission and the cycle starts again
        
        gets destroyed
- - - - if there were less of them, it could be stated that the serotonin levels are the cause of depression
  - - - 2 placebos
    - - personal version
        
        push a person off the bridge and save 5 lives
        
        less likely to do it
        
        opposed to the idea more strongly than an average person
      - impersonal version
        
        push a lever and kill one person, save 5
        
        was not affected by the dose
    - - promotes prosocial behavior
      - inflicting harm on other people is judged as less acceptable
- - - - by blocking the use of neurotransmitter in the synaptic gap, the concentration of it gets bigger
        
        helps against depression
