Across
  1. 4. the straightforward type of synapse in the central nervous system
  2. 7. changes in the environment detected by a receptor
  3. 8. another name for G-protein coupled receptors
  4. 10. the site of all the activity related to the release of neurotransmitter
  5. 11. series of chemical reactions that occur within a biological cell when initiated by a stimulus
  6. 12. makes up the vast majority of synapses in CNS
  7. 15. all catecholamines are made of this precursor molecule
  8. 16. a type of drug that enhances the overall activity of a neurotransmitter
  9. 17. crucial voltage-gated channel in neurotransmission
Down
  1. 1. the membrane-bound protein DAG activates
  2. 2. physically connects neuronal membranes of pre- and postsynaptic cells
  3. 3. synonym for naturally occurring
