Hello All,

    I would like to ask you a question about the release of
neurotransmitter. Does it possible for a neuron to release several
different type a neurotransmitter a the same time ? I read that neurons
have several transmitter. Can someone tell me if this mechanism is based on
the frequency of the input signal/the area of the brain which is excited or
both ?

    By the way, is it possible for a neuron to distinguish a pain signal ?
(does they release a special neurotransmitter ?)

Thank you very much for any answer which can help me.
