Resumen:

Distinct process of signal transduction triggered in neurons by receptors to neurotransmitters and neuromodulators have been recognized as responsible for long-term changes on synapse function. Some of those biochemical modifications to the metabolism of information inside neurons are thought related to memory formation and consolidation. Basic notions of signal transduction are, then, necessary for the understanding of current literature and hypothesis on the neurotransmitter systems involved in prolonged alterations to neuronal function. This chapter briefly summarizes some fundamental concepts and elements of the signal transduction systems involved in synaptic chemical transmission. © 2014 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
