Assessment Quiz:
I know you found the drugs topic a little hard going as you felt unsure about neurotransmission, so I have pasted a link to another quiz here. You will learn a lot about the process just from doing the quiz a few times, until you start to see your scores improving. I will also see if I can find an exam question for you and you can have a practice at that and see how you get on.

The quiz below is about the different types of neurons and how they function, it was written based on the AQA textbook rather than the Edexcel but at the end of the day a neuron is a neuron, whatever board you are studying 😉
