The Evolution of Synapses
The receptors are where the action is. And as we will talk further with Seth Grant, it is probably because these simple molecules have been having a signaling role since the beginning of life and before the evolution of nervous systems. I hope that this episode has given you a sense of how this works. Feel free to let me know what errors I made as I am sure I made some. Next month, I'm going to be talking with Seth Grant some more about Synapse,. Its evolution and his more recent discoveries about how diverse Synapses really are in terms of which molecules like the receptors were there.
