| Name: | modulation of chemical synaptic transmission |
|---|---|
| Synonyms: | modulation of synaptic transmission, regulation of chemical synaptic transmission, regulation of synaptic transmission |
| Definition: | Any process that modulates the frequency or amplitude of synaptic transmission, the process of communication from a neuron to a target (neuron, muscle, or secretory cell) across a synapse. Amplitude, in this case, refers to the change in postsynaptic membrane potential due to a single instance of synaptic transmission. |
