    This document discusses neurotransmitters and their function in the nervous system. It notes that neurotransmitters only fit into specific receptor molecules and are either excitatory or inhibitory depending on the cell. The main types of neurotransmitters are listed as either excitatory like glutamate, dopamine, and acetylcholine, or inhibitory like GABA and glycine. Neurotransmitters are classified chemically into groups like acetylcholine, biogenic amines, peptides, and functionally as either directly opening ion channels or indirectly activating metabolic changes through G-proteins.

    Receptor Molecules and Neurotransmitters
    • Neurotransmitter only "fits" in one receptor.
    • Not all cells have receptors.
    • Neurotransmitters are excitatory in some cells and inhibitory in others.
    • Some neurotransmitters (norepinephrine) attach to the presynaptic
    terminal as well as postsynaptic and then inhibit the release of more
    neurotransmitter.

    Neurotransmitters
    • Chemicals used for neuronal communication with
    the body and the brain
    • 50 different neurotransmitters have been identified
    • Classified chemically and functionally
    • Chemically:
    • ACh, Biogenic amines, Peptides
    • Functionally:
    • Excitatory or inhibitory
    • Direct/Ionotropic (open ion channels) or Indirect/metabotropic
    (activate G-proteins) that create a metabolic change in cell

    Chemical Neurotransmitters

    • Acetylcholine (ACh)
    • Biogenic amines
    • Amino acids
    • Peptides
    • Novel messengers: ATP and dissolved gases NO and CO
