Summary Introduction

To review:

The process that takes place during neuromodulation.

Introduction:

Neurotransmitters are not only involved in producing the excitatory or the inhibitory effects on the postsynaptic neurons, but they are also involved in modulating the synaptic transmission. The neurotransmitters that are involved in the modulation are called the neuromodulators. These neuromodulators bind to the metabotropic receptors present in the postsynaptic neuron.
