Abstract
Neurotransmitters are molecules that carry along with electrical signals and may amplify signals between nerves and other nerves, or between nerves and other cell types. They affect many different functions, including our thoughts, emotions, memoires, movements, and sleep patterns. Synaptic transmission is primarily affected by enhancing or inhibiting neurotransmitter release, destruction, reabsorption, as well as by blocking neurotransmitter binding to receptors. Neurotransmitters are often amino acids, small peptides, or derivative chemicals. The classic neurotransmitters include acetylcholine (ACh), dopamine, gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), glutamine, norepinephrine (NE), serotonin, and others. More than 50 neurotransmitters, or potential neurotransmitters, have been identified.
