Definitions

Corelease: Process by which two (or more) neurotransmitters are released by a single neuron following an action potential.

Cotransmission: Process by which two (or more) neurotransmitters are synaptically released in response to an action potential and detected by receptors on the postsynaptic cell.

Multitransmitter neuron: A neuron that is capable of releasing more than one neurotransmitter.

Co-packaging: Process by which a coreleasing neuron transports two different neurotransmitters into the same synaptic vesicle.
