| Neurotransmitters are molecules that act as chemical signals between nerve cells
|
| Nerve cells communicate with each other and with target tissues by secreting chemical messengers, called neurotransmitters. This chapter describes the various classes of neurotransmitters and how they interact with their target cells. It will discuss their effects on the body, how alterations in their signaling may cause disease, and how pharmacologic manipulation of their concentrations may be used therapeutically.
