Synaptic Pharmacology

SV2A         
MAMMALIAN PROTEIN FOUND IN HOMO SAPIENS
SV2A (gene); Synaptic vesicle glycoprotein 2A; Synaptic vesicle protein 2A
Synaptic vesicle glycoprotein 2A is a ubiquitous synaptic vesicle protein that in humans is encoded by the SV2A gene. The protein is targeted by the anti-epileptic drugs (anticonvulsants) levetiracetam and brivaracetam.
Free nerve ending         
TYPE OF NERVE FIBER CARRYING SENSORY SIGNALS
Nerve ending; Free Nerve Ending; Free nerve-endings; Free nerve endings; Bare nerve ending
A free nerve ending (FNE) or bare nerve ending, is an unspecialized, afferent nerve fiber sending its signal to a sensory neuron. Afferent in this case means bringing information from the body's periphery toward the brain.

(nerve endings)
Your nerve endings are the millions of points on the surface of your body and inside it which send messages to your brain when you feel sensations such as heat, cold, and pain.

Synaptic pharmacology

Synaptic pharmacology is the study of drugs that act on the synapses. It deals with the composition, uses, and effects of drugs that may enhance (receptor) or diminish (blocker) activity at the synapse, which is the junction across which a nerve impulse passes from an axon terminal to a neuron, muscle cell, or gland cell.

A partial list of pharmacological agents that act at synapses follows.
