    Discovery

    Until the early 20th century, scientists assumed that the majority of synaptic communication in the brain was electrical. However, through histological examinations by Ramón y Cajal, a 20 to 40 nm gap between ne… See more

    Identification

    To identify neurotransmitters, the following criteria are typically considered:
    1. Synthesis: The chemical must be produced within the neuron or be present in it as a precursor molecule.
    2. Release and response: … See more
