The substance that is produced and released by neurons in the brain is a hormone called dopamine. It acts as a neurotransmitter that sends signals between nerve cells.

What are in neurons?

Neurons are nerve cells. Neurons in the brain are involved in thinking and perceiving and consciousness and control of the body, and neurons elsewhere in the body communicate with the brain.


What is the direction of impulse for motor neurons?

Motor neurons carry impulses from the central nervous system to muscles or glands, resulting in a response such as muscle contraction or secretion of a substance. The direction of impulse for motor neurons is typically from the central nervous system (brain or spinal cord) to the target muscle or gland.

Do neurons get replaced in the human brain?

No, neurons in the human brain do not typically get replaced. Once neurons are damaged or lost, they are not usually regenerated or replaced by new neurons.


Are neurons in the brain only interneurons?

No, neurons in the brain include interneurons as well as sensory neurons and motor neurons. Interneurons primarily communicate with other neurons in the central nervous system, while sensory neurons carry information from sensory organs to the brain and spinal cord, and motor neurons transmit signals from the brain and spinal cord to muscles and glands.


What is the brain main source of energy?

Glucose is the main source of energy of the brain. It is converted to ATP inside the brain. However, the brain cells (neurons) themselves use some glucose. The other glucose is first metabolized and converted to "Lactate" by cells inside the brain called "Astrocytes". The lactate produced will then enter the neurons and then is converted to ATP.

Are neurotransmitters produced in the brain?

Yes, neurotransmitters are chemical messengers that are produced by neurons in the brain. They play a crucial role in communication between nerve cells and are involved in various physiological functions such as mood regulation, memory, and movement.
