Research Brief A neurotransmitter is a brain chemical that enables communication to happen between neurons, or brain cells. When we want to perform an action, an electrical impulse is sparked in our brain. The impulse travels from one brain cell to another , much like electricity travels through electrical wires, in order to complete the communication.
However, unlike with, neurons are not connected to each other. Instead, there is a small gap between them, and the impulses are unable to travel seamlessly from neuron to neuron. Instead, those electrical impulses are changed into neurotransmitters at every gap. The neurotransmitters then jump the small space in order to complete communications.
Different neurotransmitters are shaped differently, like jigsaw puzzle pieces. Each neuron has an array of different-sized receptors. once a neurotransmitter jumps the gap, it finds the corresponding receptor in the neuron, and the communication continues uninterrupted.
Neurotransmitters are involved in helping the body perform a huge array of mental functions, mechanical movement and work, muscle contractions, and even relaxation.
Of the approximately 100 neurotransmitters that have been identified, six are involved in most mental activities. These neurotransmitters are key to efficient and effective mental functioning and efficiency. Ensuring that neurotransmitter communication works become essential to all sorts of mental functions, not to mention physical movement as well.
