Term Name: negative regulation of synaptic transmission
Synonyms: down regulation of synaptic transmission, down-regulation of synaptic transmission, downregulation of synaptic transmission, inhibition of synaptic transmission
Definition: Any process that stops, prevents, or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of synaptic transmission, the process of communication from a neuron to a target (neuron, muscle, or secretory cell) across a synapse.
