How it works:
An action potential triggers Ca²⁺-dependent vesicle fusion at the presynaptic terminal. Neurotransmitter diffuses across the synaptic cleft, binds postsynaptic receptors and produces an EPSP (glutamate) or IPSP (GABA). Reuptake transporters recycle free neurotransmitter back into the presynaptic terminal.
