Typically, neurotransmitter receptors are located on the postsynaptic neuron, while neurotransmitter autoreceptors are located on the presynaptic neuron, as is the case for monoamine neurotransmitters; [45] in some cases, a neurotransmitter utilizes retrograde neurotransmission, a type of feedback signaling in neurons where the neurotransmitter ...
A neurotransmitter is a type of molecule that carries signals between neurons (nerve cells) at synapses in the nervous system The main article for this category is Neurotransmitters . Wikimedia Commons has media related to Neurotransmitters .
This is a table of neurotransmitter actions in the ANS (autonomic nervous system). It includes the circulatory system , the respiratory system , the visual system , the digestive system , the endocrine system , the urinary system , the reproductive system , and the integumentary system .
Monoaminergic systems, i.e., the networks of neurons that use monoamine neurotransmitters, are involved in the regulation of processes such as emotion, arousal, and certain types of memory. It has also been found that monoamine neurotransmitters play an important role in the secretion and production of neurotrophin-3 by astrocytes, a chemical ...
Neurotransmission is regulated by several different factors: the availability and rate-of-synthesis of the neurotransmitter, the release of that neurotransmitter, the baseline activity of the postsynaptic cell, the number of available postsynaptic receptors for the neurotransmitter to bind to, and the subsequent removal or deactivation of the ...
Dopamine is usually called the “feel good” neurotransmitter, because it plays a big role in the brain’s reward and pleasure systems, says Kane. There are a few ways that foods can induce ...
Neurotransmitter receptor – membrane receptor that can be activated by a neurotransmitter. Interactions between neurotransmitters and neurotransmitter receptors can evoke a wide range of differing responses from the cell receiving the signal, including excitation, inhibition, and various types of modulation.

Neurotransmitters (chemicals) are packaged into vesicles that cluster beneath the axon terminal membrane on the presynaptic side of a synapse in a process called endocytosis. [ 1 ] Amino acid neurotransmitter release ( exocytosis ) is dependent upon calcium Ca 2+ and is a presynaptic response.
