Examples of neurotransmitters

    The best known at present in the brain neurons are certainly mineralogical neurons. It is a discovery of Eränko very judiciously exploited by Swedish authors (Falck, Hillarp, Carlsson, Fuxe, Dahlström), which has established from the years 1962 to 1966 the distribution of monoamine-containing neurons in the central nervous system . Indeed, under certain conditions, as well as serotonin catecholamines, within neurons, in a histological section, emit fluorescence characteristic wavelength.The best known at present in the brain neurons are certainly mineralogical neurons.

     Through experiments of specific lesions or direct electrical stimulation, it has been shown that mineralogical neurons were involved in many behaviors such as hunger, thirst, sleep, sexual behavior, thermo regulation ... As these behaviors are affected by pharmacological agents, psychotropic drugs, was quickly taken to ascertain whether these drugs altered the activity of these neurons by altering the metabolism of mono-amines. In fact, numerous studies have shown that neurotics (phenolphthalein and butyrophenones) blocking dopamine transmission, as LSD suppressed the activity of serological neurons that amphetamine increased the release of dopamine from the terminals and dendrites of neurons dopamine ... Of course, this is just examples, and drugs rarely have a single action in the central nervous system. Behavioral problems they cause are actually the result of multiple effects on various neural systems (and perhaps unknown).
