NEUROTRANSMITTER [ˌn(y)o͝orōˈtranzmidər]
Neurotransmitter, also called chemical transmitter or chemical messenger, any of a group of chemical agents released by neurons (nerve cells) to stimulate neighbouring neurons or muscle or gland cells, thus allowing impulses to be passed from one cell to the next throughout the nervous system.
(b. seven) there are 7 major neurotransmitters namely GABA, glutamate, dopamine, serotonin, norepinephrine, endorphins and anandamide that appear to account for most of the effects produced by the action of drugs of abuse on the brain. These neurotransmitters are chemicals that cells of the nervous system use to interconnect...
The function of a neurotransmitter is either to excite or to inhibit the firing of brain synapses and thus to stimulate or mute brain activity. Some neurotransmitters have a general effect, while others have more specific roles in the brain.
A neurotransmitter is defined as a chemical messenger that carries, boosts, and balances signals between neurons, or nerve cells, and other cells in the body. These chemical messengers can affect a wide variety of both physical and psychological functions including heart rate, sleep, appetite, mood, and fear.
