Project Description
The intended purpose was to create a dramatic view into a synapse to show the release of GABA neurotransmitter molecules from the presynaptic vesicles and membrane, and then the subsequent binding of GABA to its pentameric receptors on the postsynaptic membrane. This is important to pain management professionals because binding of GABA may exert an inhibitory effect on pain signals and a number of drug therapies either promote the binding of GABA, or are believed to have a similar mode of action.
