Neurotransmitters are tiny chemical messengers that carry, boost, and balance signals between neurons (aka nerve cells) and ...

Nerves throughout the body—including the brain, gastrointestinal ... and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). Neurotransmitters are often described as excitatory or inhibitory because they can ...

The brain is an ... on the type of neurotransmitter released. Excitatory synapses send signals that encourage the creation of an action potential by the next neuron; inhibitory synapses work ...

However, a series of weak stimuli can combine, increasing the amount of neurotransmitter that is released. This results in enough neurotransmitter being diffused across the synaptic cleft to ...

The brain is an ... on the type of neurotransmitter released. Excitatory synapses send signals that encourage the creation of an action potential by the next neuron; inhibitory synapses work ...

Cortical neurons in the waking brain fire highly irregular ... vivo could arise from the superposition of independent excitatory and inhibitory inputs. Because reconciliation of the in vivo ...

There are two types of removal: Re-uptake – the neurotransmitter is reabsorbed back into the presynaptic neuron and restored inside a vesicle ready to be used again. For example, noradrenaline.

Some of the main secreting neurotransmitters are excitatory ... some also make GABA, a inhibitory neurotransmitter, meaning the relationship between gliomas and the brain hardwiring is more ...

The first four agents act by enhancing the activity of the inhibitory neurotransmitter γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the CNS. Ketamine antagonizes the effect of the excitatory neurotransmitter N ...
