Second messengers can increase dendritic receptors, neurotransmitter production, or induce morphological changes in neurons to strengthen synaptic connections.
Second messengers can increase dendritic receptors, neurotransmitter production, or induce morphological changes in neurons to strengthen synaptic connections.
| Front | changes promoted by second messengers |
|---|---|
| Back | increase dendritic receptors in post-synaptic neuron, improving its stimulation; increase in production of the neurotransmitter in pre-synaptic; neurons may morphologically change to enlarge existing synaptic connections/form new ones |
