Types of Neurotransmitters and Their Functions Explained

Human functioning comprises many intricate systems. For example, the nervous system has numerous types of signaling systems providing communication between the brain and the body. Neurotransmitters are part of this complex signaling system and function as chemical messengers that facilitate the transfer of information from one neuron to another by way of chemical transmission, or via Synaptic Transmission. The right combination of neurotransmitters is necessary for all fluids, cells and organs in the human body to work together and achieve balance (homeostasis).

Low-Dose CT Scan for Lung Screening
