Neurotransmitter Switching in Adult Brain According to one dogma of neuroscience‚ neurotransmitter population was thought to be fixed and immutable throughout life once developmental stages have passed. For over 100 years‚ a central assumption in the field of neuroscience has been that the brain of the adult mammals should remain structurally constant. New neurons‚ as well as new neurotransmitters were thought not to be added to the adult mammalian brain and that the production of new neurons would

Neuroscience: Neurotransmitters (small molecule and neuroactive)‚ storage release removal and disease. 1. The brain is made up of neurons that process and transmit information by electrochemical signaling. Neurotransmitters are endogenous chemicals which relay‚ amplify‚ and modulate signals between a neuron and another cell. Chemical messengers must fulfill four criteria to be considered a transmitter. These four steps include the synthesis of a transmitter substance‚ the storage and release of
