Neurotransmitter Velocity

Meaning

Neurotransmitter Velocity is a conceptual, applied metric representing the overall speed and efficiency of signal transmission across synapses and throughout interconnected neural circuits in the brain. This velocity is functionally determined by the combined rate of neurotransmitter release, rapid diffusion across the synaptic cleft, binding to postsynaptic receptors, and subsequent efficient signal termination. High Neurotransmitter Velocity is essential for rapid information processing, quick reaction times, and fluid, high-throughput cognitive output.
