A neurotransmitter is a chemical which carries the nerve impulse from the end point of a nerve cell to the dendrites of the next nerve cell.
A hormone is a chemical substance which is secreted by an endocrine gland directly into the blood stream or plasma in which it travels to a specific target organ and brings about a change in them.

the brain and sppinal cord
What are the two excitatory neurotransmitters?
acetylcholine
What are the 5 neurotransmitters of the brain and what are they responsible of?
Acetycholine neurotransmitter that enables learning and memory and also triggers muscle contraction. People with low levels of this often have Alzheimer's disease Norepinephrine (think LAWM) involved in Learning, Arousal, Wakefulness and Mood. Activated when the autonomic nervous system is activated by an extreme emotion. Dopamine Involved in the experience of reward or pleasure, involved in the control of complex movements. People with Parkinson's disease have almost none of it. Seratonin Found mainly in the pons. Affects mood and sleep. Not enough=depression. Prozac raises levels of this. Endorphins natural, opiatelike neurotransmitters produced in the brain and spinal cord. Linked to pain control and euphoria
What are the two main groups in the human body and why?
the heart and the brain
What two brain neurotransmitters are affected by gambling?
Serotonin and Dopamine.
What is excitatory messages?
There are two kinds of neurotransmitters - INHIBITORY and EXCITATORY. Excitatory neurotransmitters are not necessarily exciting - they are what stimulate the brain. Those that calm the brain and help create balance are called inhibitory. Inhibitory neurotransmitters balance mood and are easily depleted when the excitatory neurotransmitters are overactive.
What are two ways the drugs affect the brain chemistry?
increases and decreases the amount of neurotransmitters
Which two neurotransmitters regulate the brain's response to new information and unusual situations?
Dopamine and Serotonin
Where is language localized in the human brain?
There seem to be two main areas where language functions are processed in the brain, Broca's Area and Wernicke's Area.
What is the function of a neurotransmitter?
NEUROTRANSMITTERS are the brain chemicals that communicate information throughout our brain and body. They relay signals between nerve cells, called "neurons." The brain uses neurotransmitters to tell your heart to beat, your lungs to breathe, and your stomach to digest. They can also affect mood, sleep, concentration, weight, and can cause adverse symptoms when they are out of balance. Neurotransmitter levels can be depleted many ways. As a matter of fact, it is estimated that 86% of Americans have suboptimal neurotransmitter levels. Stress, poor diet, neurotoxins, genetic predisposition, drug (prescription and recreational), alcohol and caffeine usage can cause these levels to be out of optimal range.There are two kinds of neurotransmitters - INHIBITORY and EXCITATORY.

What does a two headed monster use to think with?
Main Brain!
Caffeine affects on ADHD adult?
Caffeine causes the Hypothalamus to produce additional stores of Dopamin and Norepinephrine, two of the brain's neurotransmitters. Because patients with ADD/ADHD have fewer neurotransmitters than the average person, this overload of Dopamine causes you to become very, very sleepy.
What are two main organs of the central nervous system?
the brain and sppinal cord
How many cortexes in the human brain?
The human brain has four lobes of the cerebral cortex. Each lobe in the human brain is named from the bone that covers the lobe.
