1. These neurotransmitters stimulate the postsynaptic nerve cells at specialised sites called receptors.

2. Gephyrin forms a bridge anchoring inhibitory neurotransmitter receptors to the postsynaptic cytoskeleton.

3. Similarly, experiments in rat lateral geniculate nucleus relay cells showed that the amplitude of postsynaptic currents is set to maximise the ratio of information transmitted in relation to postsynaptic energy consumption.

4. The neurotransmitters diffuse across the synaptic cleft and activate receptors on the postsynaptic neuron.

5. Some synapses dispense with the "middleman" of the neurotransmitter, and connect the presynaptic and postsynaptic cells together.

6. Crimpy enables discrimination of presynaptic and postsynaptic pools of a BMP at the Drosophila neuromuscular junction Dev Cell

8. By binding to these sites, Barbiturates allow an influx of chloride into cell membranes and, subsequently, hyperpolarize the postsynaptic neuron

9. The Acetylcholinic receptor, is a site of action of the postsynaptic membrane which reacts with acetylcholine and alters the membrane permeability

10. There are at least two types of postsynaptic channels that open up when glutamate binds to their receptor molecules.

11. Furthermore, the ions that enter the postsynaptic neuron through the opened pore may do more than just change the internal voltage.

12. The Acetylcholinic receptor, is a site of action of the postsynaptic membrane which reacts with acetylcholine and alters the membrane permeability

13. Also fenfluramine which releases 5-HT to postsynaptic receptors suppresses Appetite, and there are reports that tryptophan can have a similar effect

14. Mice fed a diet high in Canola oil displayed a reduction of postsynaptic density protein-95, which is an indicator of decreased synaptic integrity.

15. Chlorpromazine hydrochloride exerts its antipsychotic effect by blocking postsynaptic dopamine receptors in cortical and limbic areas of the brain, thereby preventing the excess of dopamine in the brain.

16. Chlorpromazine exerts its antipsychotic effect by blocking postsynaptic dopamine receptors in cortical and limbic areas of the brain, thereby preventing the excess of dopamine in the brain

17. Taken together, these results suggest that endogenous CGRP and ATP co-released with ACh from the nerve terminal may promote synaptic development by potentiating postsynaptic ACh channel activity during the early phase of synaptogenesis.

18. The shift in the dose–response curve to the right, which can explain greater postsynaptic potentiation, is unlikely to be caused by accumulation of "monoligand-bound ACh receptor complexes," since experiments were done with active cholinesterase.
