Explain how neurotransmitters affect behavior?
Neurotransmitters can directly or indirectly affect behavior. It influences neurons in a specific portion of the brain. Any abnormal level in neurotransmitters can lead to mental disorders.
Why would a psychologist pay attention to neurotransmitters?

What role do neurotransmitters play in human behavior?
Humans (as well as many other mammals and other lifeforms) transmit information across their bodies through the use of neurons. At the axon ends of these neurons are tiny sacs called synaptic vesicles that contain special chemicals called neurotransmitters. Since neurons aren't physically connected to one another, they have to releases these neurotransmitters and then have them received by receptors on another neuron. Thus, in order for any behavior to actually present itself in a physical form, a series of messages must be sent from the brain to another part of the body along these neurons through the use of neurotransmitters. Since these neurotransmitters are just freely floating in the body, its easy for them to be modified by external forces. If for example your body wanted to dilute some pain, it could release chemicals that would stop neurotransmitters that would otherwise tell your brain that you're in pain.
Action potentials trigger the release of chemicals in the terminal buttons called?
neurotransmitters
How can manipulation of neurotransmitters influence learning and emotions?
neurotransmitters are the chemicles that allow neurons to comunicate with each other. these firings are what allow you to think or act everything is ultimatly influenced by these transmitters. if you can properly control the transmitters then you could influence learning and emotions.
Can you give me the names of all the neurotransmitters?
Here's a beginning. the related question below list the essential neurotransmitters.
What Neurotransmitters are released at the ends of some nerve cells?
An axon
What do neurotransmitters open?
Neurotransmitters act on synapses.
How do neurotransmitters transmit signals across the synapse?
after impulse conductionby postsynaptic neurons is initiated, neurotransmitters activity is rapidly terminated. Either one or both of two mechanisms cause this. Some neurotransmitters molecules difuseout of the synaptic cleft back into synaptic knobs
What neurotransmitters are amino acids?
define amino acids in neurotransmitters
Which structure in the body releases neurotransmitters?
Neurons release neurotransmitters.
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 some important neurotransmitters?
Acetylcholine, adrenaline, noradrenaline, serine GABA. dopamine etc.
How are neurotransmitters broken down in the synaptic cleft?
most neurotransmitters are not actually broken down, rather they are actively transported back into their pre release vesicles (this is called reuptake). Some neurotransmitters are broken down by a specific enzyme into non active parts i.e acetylcholine broken down by acetylcholinestarase
Explain what happens to neurotransmitters after they are released?
After neurotransmitters are released in to the synaptic cleft - from the presynaptic neuron, they bind with there specific receptor cites found on the postsynaptic neurons cell membrane. Some neurotransmitters then become inactive by enzymes whiles other simply drift away from the synaptic cleft. Reuptake can also occur where the presynaptic neuron sponges up (or takes back) the remaining neurotransmitters left behind.
