A neuron is a cell that is in the brain and it contains neurotransmitters. They are released from one neuron in order to send a message to another cell.

What is the purpose of lamotrigine?
Lamotrigine is thought to act at sodium channels in the neuron (nerve cell) to reduce the amount of excitatory neurotransmitters that the nerve cell releases.
Certain mental problems are thought to be caused by not having enough neurotransmitters. Why would a lack of neurotransmitters cause problems?
Neurotransmitters send signals from neuron to neuron
Neurotransmitters released by 1 nerve cell are received by?
Neurotransmitters released by 1 nerve cell are received by another neuron. The receptor of a postsynaptic neuron receives the neurotransmitters.
Do neurotransmitters always cause hyperpolarization of the postsynaptic membrane?
No, many neurotransmitters cause the postsynaptic membrane to be depolarized.
Are DNA and RNA neurotransmitters?
No. Neurotransmitters are located in the brain. DNA & RNA are related to cell information and replication.
What do neurotransmitters open?
Neurotransmitters act on synapses.
What neurotransmitters are amino acids?
define amino acids in neurotransmitters
Which structure in the body releases neurotransmitters?
Neurons release neurotransmitters.
What is the purpose of lamotrigine?
Lamotrigine is thought to act at sodium channels in the neuron (nerve cell) to reduce the amount of excitatory neurotransmitters that the nerve cell releases.
What is the relationship between drugs and the transmission of neurotransmitters?
The relationship between drugs an the transmission of neurotransmitters is that the drugs can interfere with the work of the neurotransmitters.
What does an axon release when an impulse reaches the end of it?
Neurotransmitters to the synapse and the neurotransmitters bind with the receptors releasing the second messengers.
Certain mental problems are thought to be caused by not having enough neurotransmitters. Why would a lack of neurotransmitters cause problems?
Neurotransmitters send signals from neuron to neuron
What are the benefits of choline?
Choline is a biological molecule that is known to serve a wide variety of purposes. Its major purpose, however, is as part of acetylcholine, one of the body's major neurotransmitters.
Are there neurotransmitters in our intestines and organs?
Yes, neurotransmitters are found wherever nerves are found.
Neurotransmitters released by 1 nerve cell are received by?
Neurotransmitters released by 1 nerve cell are received by another neuron. The receptor of a postsynaptic neuron receives the neurotransmitters.
What are neurotransmitters that affect a neuron's response to other neurotransmitters called?
These are typically known as neuromodulators; they can either change the rate at which a neurotransmitter is released, or alter the response to a certain neurotransmitters.
What are retrograde neurotransmitters?
Retrograde neurotransmitters are released from dendrites and alter the activity of neighbouring cells. This process is the opposite of typical neurotransmitters, which are released from the axon terminal (of a post synaptic neuron) and act on dendrites. Two examples are the gaseous neurotransmitters Carbon Monoxide and Nitric Oxide.
