Neurotransmitters are synthesized in many areas of the body including the central nervous system, the peripheral nervous system, the kidneys, the gastrointestinal tract, and the adrenal glands.
Ionotropic receptors: Receptors for
neurotransmitters that act as ion channels.
They realized that there was strength in numbers (not that these conditions didn't already have enough strength on their own), and they mobilized to formulate and anoint a new class of conditions called "Pediatric
Neurotransmitter Diseases." Those early meetings appeared to be like a sketch from Saturday Night Live.
Kavalali indicates that, if the two types of vesicles have different molecular compositions, as the findings suggest, those differences may make it possible to regulate spontaneous and activity-dependent
neurotransmitter release independently.
Roles for
neurotransmitters in development: possible interaction with drugs during the fetal and neonatal periods.

Even if depression starts with a single abnormal
neurotransmitter, things that happen afterward turn it into a multisystem disease, at least as far as serotonin and the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis are concerned," said Dr.
As has been noted, fluoxetine and other SSRIs cause serotonin uptake blockade with little or no effect on other
neurotransmitters or their receptor sites.
A: Nutrients are precursors of
neurotransmitters, And in some cases, having more of the precursor means more of the
neurotransmitter is produced.
Willis, director of the university's Marine Biomedical Institute, and his colleagues are studying the role of various
neurotransmitters - substances that nerve cells use to communicate with each other - involved in pain control.
Central and peripheral nervous system functions depend on normal synaptic transmission, which is mediated by a variety of
neurotransmitters, including the biogenic amines (the catecholamines dopamine, norepinephrine, epinephrine, serotonin, histamine; Eisenhofer 2004; Rothman et al.
Both are so-called
neurotransmitters, chemical signals released from one nerve cell to the next to stimulate similar sensations throughout the body.
