Dendritic Autoreceptors

Description
The dendrites of certain neurons release some neurotransmitter when the cell is active. Activation of dendritic autoreceptors by the neurotransmitter (or by a drug that binds with these receptors) hyperpolarizes the membrane, reducing the neuron’s rate of firing. Blocking of dendritic autoreceptors by a drug prevents this effect.
