Two related diagrams depicting events at the synaptic cleft. 1: Activated G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) interacting with its G-protein to inhibit vesicle fusion and neurotransmitter release at the presynaptic surface of a neuronal terminal button. 2: If GPCR is not activated, presynaptic vesicle fusion is possible and neurotransmitter is released into the synaptic cleft.
