020 Facilitation

Leslie Samuel explains the process of facilitation in neurons, focusing on how it leads to a prolonged and stronger response in the postsynaptic cell. The video covers the role of action potentials, calcium channels, and neurotransmitter release. It also details the involvement of serotonin, G proteins, adenylate cyclase, and protein kinase C in modulating potassium channels, ultimately enhancing neurotransmitter release and signal strength.

How does serotonin affect the postsynaptic cell?

What is the effect of protein kinase C on voltage-gated potassium channels?
