GlossaryNeurotransmitters

chemical messengers transmitting signals between neurons in the nervous system

Neurotransmitters are chemical messengers that transmit signals across a synapse from one neuron to another in the nervous system. They play a crucial role in regulating a wide range of bodily functions, including mood, sleep, and muscle movement, by binding to specific receptors on the target cells.
