Clinical Implications of Loss of HomeostasisReferencesNeurotransmitters are chemicals released by the presynaptic endings ofneurons that have specialized actions through specific receptors on the mem-brane potential of postsynaptic neurons. However, these chemicals have morecomplex functions both within the neuron and on its varied cellular functions include changes in metabolic activities that have consequenceson the plasticity of the neurons.
