Neurotransmitter - Wikipedia Neurotransmitters are generally synthesized in neurons and are made up of, or derived from, precursor molecules that are found abundantly in the cell Classes of neurotransmitters include amino acids, monoamines, and peptides Monoamines are synthesized by altering a single amino acid
Neurotransmitters: Types, Function and Examples - Simply Psychology Neurotransmitters are chemicals that help neurons communicate and regulate everything from mood to muscle movement They are categorized as excitatory, inhibitory, or modulatory depending on how they affect brain activity
Neurotransmitters: Functions, Types, Potential Problems - Verywell Mind Neurotransmitters are tiny chemical messengers that carry, boost, and balance signals between neurons (aka nerve cells) and target cells throughout the body These target cells may be in glands, muscles, or other neurons
Neurotransmitters: Types, functions and disorders | Kenhub Neurotransmitters are substances which neurons use to communicate with one another and with their target tissues in the process of synaptic transmission (neurotransmission) Neurotransmitters are synthetized in and released from nerve endings into the synaptic cleft
7 Neurotransmitters Involved in the Brain-Body Connection Neurotransmitters do that work, sending instructions from one brain cell to the next and transferring information throughout the brain and body The process starts where these chemical messengers are stored in tiny compartments at the end of neurons These are called synaptic vesicles
