Where are the 6 neurotransmitters located in the neurotransmitters?

Answer 1

Neurotransmitters are checmials in the brain that help promote brain health by participating in the process of sending signals to various parts of the brain to function appropriately. When neurotransmitters are not functioning appropriately, medication is often used such as Prozac or Paxil. Medication helps neurotransmitters function more adequately.

There are six prominent or most commonly discussed neurotransmitters in the brain known as:

1. Serotonin (very important chemical in the brain regulating depression and mood)
2. Dopamine (a chemical that regulates movement)
3. Noradrenalin (a chemical involved with memory and learning)
4. Aceytlcholine (muscle movement)
5. Adrenaline (fight-or-flight response from the nervous system)
6. G.A.B.A. (stops the movement of nerve impulses)

Answer 2

Neurotransmitters are located within the synaptic vesicles of the presynaptic neuron. When an action potential reaches the axon terminal, these neurotransmitters are released into the synaptic cleft to communicate with the postsynaptic neuron.
