Neurotransmission was previously redirected to Chemical synapse, and I've changed it into an article of its own. I'm aware that there will be some overlap. However, neither in the article "Chemical synapse", nor in the discussion is a single word about neurotransmission. Users/readers not knowing anything yet about neurotransmission won't know more after having read Chemical synapse. So that's why I started this article.
I plan on expanding it, but it is already evening in Sweden and tomorrow I'll have to work as usual, so I won't write so much more tonight, the whole page will take a couple of days. Lova Falk 18:37, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
- While I'm writing, I'm starting to doubt. Maybe there is too much overlap with chemical synapse? But one of the reasons I wanted to write an article about neurotransmission is that non-professionals (and Wikipedia should be readable for non-professionals) easily could get a couple of wrong ideas when reading "chemical synapse", for instance, that the site of "decision" about firing or not (summation) is at the synapse. From "chemical synapse" it's not so easy to understand either that a nerve impulse sometimes simply ends. So I wanted to make that clear in this article.
- Please comment and state what you think about "neurotransmission" as an article! Lova Falk 19:07, 3 May 2007 (UTC)( Edited: Lova Falk 19:12, 3 May 2007 (UTC))
Some of the May 2007 Links in this article are outdated. I couldn't find references 3 or 4 ( http://web.lemoyne.edu/~hevern/psy340/graphics/summation.jpg, retrieved May 2007 http://www.cameron.edu/~gabrielr/PHYCH4/sld055.htm Retrieved May 2007) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 156.56.102.10 (talk) 22:31, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] expanding this article
i added a much more detailed user freindly description of synaptic transmission and added a example of neuro impulses such as a heart beat, then some more links and a new reference. Roy Stanley (talk) 20:57, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
