Just like there are many different people for different jobs, there are many different types of neurotransmitters, each designed to carry specific messages to start or stop different actions. From your gut to your head and even your emotions, these messengers are behind almost everything that goes on inside of you. They facilitate nerve impulses traveling from one neuron to another neuron or cell.
Neurotransmitters, also known as ‘chemical messengers’, help the brain communicate with tissues, muscles, and organs to control bodily functions.
