What is the chemical secreted into a gap between neurons at a synapse?
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."
How many different kinds of neurotransmitters do you release into your synapses?
There are over 100 different types of neurotransmitters that can be released into synapses, each with specific functions and effects on neuronal communication. Some of the most well-known neurotransmitters include serotonin, dopamine, and glutamate.
How does ecstasy affect serotonin levels in the brain?
MDMA, or ecstasy, affects three neurotransmitters: serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine. Studies show that MDMA can damage serotonin containing neurons. "Studies have shown that some heavy MDMA users experience long lasting confusion, depression, and selective impairment of working memory and attention processes."
