Psychopharmacology: Receptor Binding Simulator

Interactive 3D synapse simulator: watch a drug (agonist, antagonist or reuptake inhibitor) compete with a natural neurotransmitter for postsynaptic receptors, tune dose in real time and see receptor desensitization emerge under chronic overstimulation.

Neuroscience & Biophysics3DModerate60 FPS

A 3D synapse model showing how a psychoactive drug interacts with postsynaptic receptors alongside the natural neurotransmitter — pick an agonist, antagonist or reuptake inhibitor, dial in a dose, and watch cleft concentration, receptor activation and desensitization play out in real time.

⚙ Under the hood

3D synapse model: a drug (agonist, antagonist or reuptake inhibitor) competes with a natural neurotransmitter for postsynaptic receptors. Tune drug type and dose, watch cleft neurotransmitter concentration and receptor activation on live graphs, and see receptors desensitize under chronic overstimulation.
