autoreceptors may be located in any part of the cell membrane: in the dendrites, the cell body, the axon, or the axon terminals.









































canonically, a presynaptic neuron releases a neurotransmitter across a synaptic cleft to be detected by the receptors on a postsynaptic neuron. autoreceptors on the presynaptic neuron will also detect this neurotransmitter and often function to control internal cell processes, typically inhibiting further release or synthesis of the neurotransmitter. thus, release of neurotransmitter is regulated by negative feedback. autoreceptors are usually g protein-coupled receptors (rather than transmitter-gated ion channels) and act via a second messenger.

autoreceptor
at a chemical synapse, one neuron releases neurotransmitter molecules into a small space (the synaptic cleft) that is adjacent to another neuron. the neurotransmitters are contained within small sacs called synaptic vesicles, and are released into the synaptic cleft by exocytosis. these molecules then bind to neurotransmitter receptors on the postsynaptic cell. finally, the neurotransmitters are cleared from the synapse through one of several potential mechanisms including enzymatic degradation or re-uptake by specific transporters either on the presynaptic cell or on some other neuroglia to terminate the action of the neurotransmitter.
