These are called neurotransmitters.
Chemicals contained in the terminal region of the neuron that enable neurons to communicate are referred to "neurotransmitters". There are many identified and putative chemical transmitters in the mammalian nervous system. These include, but are not limited to dopamine, norepinephrine, serotonin, acetylcholine, GABA, glutamate, a host of peptides, any many others.
The part of the neuron where neurotransmitters are released from is the axon terminal, and they are released into a small space between neurons called the Synapse.
Inhibit it by hyper polarizing the membrane or excite it by bringing the voltage closer to the threshold potential.

There is not just one chemical secreted into synapses (the gaps between neurons); instead, there are many chemicals secreted from the terminal buttons of neurons into the synapses. They are called "neurotransmitters."
Neurotransmitters are released into the synapse (the space between neurons). These can be a variety of chemicals and ions, including serotonin, dopamine, and GABA.
