Lastly, recognize that the future of
neurotransmitter testing and optimization will do much more than just objectively measure levels of
neurotransmitters in the urine.
The "delivery electrode" works in the same way as nerve cells in the brain by releasing
neurotransmitters, which communicate between nerves.
Nerves transmit electrical messages but communicate with each other via
neurotransmitters, chemicals that activate neighbouring cells.
Endogenous opioids: A group of small molecules, such as endorphins and enkephalins, that are naturally produced in the body and which have similar effects as the opiates (e.g., morphine and heroin); endogenous opioids modulate the actions of various
neurotransmitters.
Neurotransmitter diseases is an umbrella term for the myriad of disorders that play havoc with the array of substances (
neurotransmitters) that are released at the junction of one neuron and expedite the expected reaction on another neuron that eventually commands, encourages, or leverages an organ to do its thing.

Certain brain chemicals, called
neurotransmitters, play an important role in regulating moods and emotions, providing further evidence of a biological etiology for Major Depressive Disorder.
Every time we move, feel emotions, think, or remember, the nerve cells, or neurons, in our body transmit messages to one another via chemical signals called
neurotransmitters. Within neurons are tiny organelles called synaptic vesicles that sequester
neurotransmitters and release them when needed into the synapse, or space between nerve cells, where the chemical signal is transmitted to other neutrons.
During an actual thrilling experience, brain cells, or neurons, create feelings by sending and receiving chemicals called
neurotransmitters.
Embryonic development in the sea urchin requires trophic actions of the same
neurotransmitters that participate in mammalian brain assembly.
It should be noted that a single neuron may be capable of releasing more than one type of
neurotransmitter. So far, scientists have identified about 100 different types of
neurotransmitters.
At least fifty kinds of
neurotransmitters constantly race to and from our brain, allowing our mind to interact with the matter of our body.
