chemicals which are secreted into a synapse in order to transmit an electrical nerve impulse from a nerve axon of one cell to the cell body of another nerve cell. They bind to receptors on nerve cells and are produced rapidly in high concentrations at nerve synapses. In these respects they differ from neuropeptides. There are many different neurotr...

Chemicals released by neurons into the synapse to communicate with each other. Some neurotransmitters are 'excitatory' and cause the next cell to fire, some are 'inhibitory' and prevent the next cell from firing.

Endogenous signaling molecules that alter the behaviour of neurons or effector cells. Neurotransmitter is used here in its most general sense, including not only messengers that act directly to regulate ion channels, but also those that act through second messenger systems, and those that act at a distance from their site of release. Included are n...

Chemicals released by the nerve cells in the brain from their nerve endings. These chemicals are involved in establishing the communication amongst the neurons or nerve cells and play a significant part in schizophrenia, depression, bipolar disorder.

Chemicals that occur naturally in the brain that transmit impulses, or messages, between nerve cells. They exist in the space, or synapse, that separates the terminal of the neuron transmitting the message, which is called the axon, from the terminal of the neuron receiving the message, called dendrite.
