Dopamine - A Sample Neurotransmitter One of the neurotransmitters playing a major role in addiction is dopamine. Many of the concepts that apply to dopamine apply to other neurotransmitters as well. As a chemical messenger, dopamine is similar to adrenaline. Dopamine affects brain processes that control movement, emotional response, and ability to experience pleasure and pain. Dopamine ...

Neurotransmitters and Neuroactive Peptides Contents of this Page Discovery Criteria Types Synthesis Transport Binding Inactivation Communication of information between neurons is accomplished by movement of chemicals across a small gap called the synapse. Chemicals, called neurotransmitters, are released from one neuron at the presynaptic nerve terminal. Neurotransmitters then cross the synapse ...

A photographic gallery of neurotransmitters, such as dopamine, serotonin, acetyl choline, and norepinephrine.

Neurotransmitters and Receptors Acetylcholine is released at the synaptic ends of nerve fibers in the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems and results in transmission of nerve impulses that contract or dilate muscles. It also increases stomach peristalsis, urinary tract contractions; and voluntary voiding pressure on the bladder. Amphetamine is a volatile liquid, C9H13N, is a central ...
