Synaptic Transmission at a Chemical Synapse | Quantal Release of Neurotransmitters 

The human has 86 billion neurons, and every neuron makes 1000 to 10000 connections with other neurons---these connections are called synapses. This video introduces the dynamic steps at each synapse, where the activity of the "from" pre-synaptic neuron causes changes in activity in the "to" post-synaptic neuron.
The video goes through all the molecular steps involved in a chemical synapse, the mechanism of synaptic vesicle fusion to release neurotransmitters, the quantal neurotransmitter release hypothesis, and mechanisms whereby a synaptic action is terminated.
