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 the excitatory neurotranmitters?
Glutamic acid (glutamate) is probably the most abundant excitatory transmitter. Others can be excitatory, such as acetylcholine, and some peptides. Aspartate is also excitatory. Finally, serotonin is often found to be exctitatory.
What factor decreases the excitatory level of the spinal cord?
Fatigue decreases the excitatory level of the spinal cord
What neurotransmitter is always excitatory?
Glutamate is the primary excitatory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. It enhances the transmission of signals between neurons by promoting the depolarization of postsynaptic neurons.
If a neurotransmitter depolarizes the postsynaptic membrane it is referred to as?
Excitatory
Do all excitatory neurotransmitters have the same effect on organs?
no
Is serotonin excitatory or inhibtory?
It's mainly inhibitory
What factor decreases the excitatory level of the muscles?
fatigue
What causes the receiving cell the fire?
Excitatory neurotransmitter
What are the two excitatory neurotransmitters?
acetylcholine
What is the most common excitatory neurotransmitter in the brain?
Glutamate
Can excitatory synapses occur anywhere on a dendrite or soma?
True
What are the only excitatory neurons in cerebellar cortex?
granule neurons
