Neurotransmitters are crucial chemical messengers in the nervous system. They are released by neurons (nerve cells) and transmit signals across synapses, the junctions between neurons. These signals allow for communication within the brain and between the brain and the rest of the body, influencing a vast array of functions including thought, emotion, movement, and sensation. The precise functioning of the nervous system relies on the intricate balance and release of various neurotransmitters like dopamine, serotonin, and acetylcholine. Understanding the role of these substances is fundamental to neuroscience and the study of neurological and psychiatric disorders.
