Glutamate, the major excitatory neurotransmitter, plays a central role in mediating nearly all forms of brain function, including learning, memory, cognition, and emotion.

They're excitatory.

They contain a molecule know as a neurotransmitter.

Norepinephrine, also both a hormone and a neurotransmitter.

So instead of being voltage gated, it's neurotransmitter gated.

Self esteem or self belief is closely linked to the neurotransmitter serotonin.

As you probably know, the neurotransmitter associated with learning is called dopamine.

What's common among these groups of cells is that they all produce the neurotransmitter dopamine.

What's common among these groups of cells is that they all produce the neurotransmitter dopamine.

Their previously diagnosed dystonia was being caused by a genetic mutation that was interfering with the neurotransmitter serotonin.

And a neurotransmitter may diffuse and act not only on other synaptic contacts, but also on extrasynaptic receptors.

The majority of vasculature in the body constricts to norepinephrine, a sympathetic neurotransmitter the body uses to increase blood pressure.

And so when the green neuron wants to communicate, it wants to send a message to the red neuron, it spits out neurotransmitter.

And there's even evidence that our brains release some dopamine a pleasure inducing neurotransmitter chemical to reward us for seeking out and finding new information.

Some critics have been upset by my argument that the neurotransmitter dopamine, which is related to motivation, focus, and reward, is part of what can make sexual pleasure empowering for women.

These neurotransmitters and you've probably heard the specific names of many of these serotonin, dopamine, epinephrine which is also adrenaline, but that's also a hormone, but it also acts as a neurotransmitter.

Well, your brain has to do something just like that as well, and we're now beginning to understand and identify brain systems involved in valuation, and one of them includes a neurotransmitter system whose cells are located in your brainstem and deliver the chemical dopamine to the rest of your brain.
