The 58 pages that link to Neurotransmitter, each with the reason it gives.

• DopamineNarrower topic: Dopamine functions as a neurotransmitter in the nervous system.

• AcetylcholineNarrower topic: Acetylcholine is one of the neurotransmitters used throughout the nervous system.

• SerotoninNarrower topic: Serotonin is one member of this broad class of neural messengers.

• GABA receptorNarrower topic: GABA is one example of this broader class of signaling molecules.

• Synaptic plasticityNarrower topic: Release and reception of these messengers are frequent sites of synaptic modification.

• AntidepressantNarrower topic: Many antidepressants alter the signaling of neurotransmitters, though their full therapeutic effects are not explained by this alone.

• Nicotinic acetylcholine receptorNarrower topic: Acetylcholine is the endogenous neurotransmitter that activates nicotinic receptors.

• NeurotoxinNarrower topic: Many neurotoxins alter the production, release, reception, or removal of these messengers.

• Norepinephrine transporterNarrower topic: Norepinephrine is a neurotransmitter, and NET controls its extracellular availability.

• Psychiatric medicationNarrower topic: Many psychiatric drugs change neurotransmitter release, receptor activity, or reuptake.

• PsychopharmacologyNarrower topic: Many psychiatric medications alter neurotransmitter release, receptor activity, or reuptake.

• Dopamine receptorNarrower topic: Dopamine is one neurotransmitter whose effects depend on receptor subtype and location.

• Glutamic acidNarrower topic: Glutamate is a neurotransmitter, while glutamic acid is the corresponding amino-acid form.

• Limbic systemNarrower topic: Limbic circuits rely on neurotransmitters to alter activity and plasticity.

• Psychoactive drugNarrower topic: Psychoactive drugs often change how neurotransmitters are released, detected, or cleared.

• Vesicular monoamine transporter 2Narrower topic: VMAT2 research clarified how neurotransmitters are stored before release.

• Dementia with Lewy bodiesNarrower topic: Changes in acetylcholine and dopamine signaling link brain pathology to symptoms.

• StimulantNarrower topic: Stimulant effects often arise by changing neurotransmitter release, reuptake, or receptor activity.

• Altered state of consciousnessNarrower topic: Many drug-induced alterations begin when substances change neurotransmitter signaling.

• Mood stabilizerNarrower topic: Mood-stabilizing drugs alter neural signaling, although no single neurotransmitter explains bipolar disorder.

• Monoamine transporterNarrower topic: Monoamine transporters move neurotransmitters rather than synthesizing them.

• Julius AxelrodNarrower topic: Axelrod’s work showed that neurotransmitter signaling depends on what happens after release.

• Henry Hallett DaleNarrower topic: Dale’s research helped turn neurotransmitters into a central concept in physiology.

• Mood swingNarrower topic: Neural signaling is one biological level involved in mood, though no single messenger explains every shift.

• Nervous System DiseasesNarrower topic: Disrupted neurotransmission can cause or worsen symptoms in several neurological disorders.
