Les vésicules sont formées au niveau du corps cellulaire [du neurone] et transportées vers les terminaisons axoniques où elles accumulent les neurotransmetteurs. On peut noter en effet qu'après déplétion des neurones catécholaminergiques en transmetteur sous l'action de la réserpine, les vésicules commencent à réapparaître au niveau du corps cellulaire et seulement ensuite au niveau des terminaisons. 2, record 3, French, - v%C3%A9sicule
