Presynaptic Heteroreceptors

Description
Presynaptic facilitation is caused by activation of receptors that facilitate the opening of calcium channels near the active zone of the postsynaptic terminal button, which promotes release of the neurotransmitter. Presynaptic inhibition is caused by activation of receptors that inhibit the opening of these calcium channels.
