Nervous System

 Stimulatory Neurotransmitters are involved in many aspects of Mental Function (by stimulating the transmission of Nerve Impulses between Neurons).

 

These Substances may Enhance the Function of Stimulatory Neurotransmitters

Neurotransmitters

 Inhibitory Neurotransmitters prevent over-excitation by StimulatoryNeurotransmitters (If it were not for Inhibitory Neurotransmitters, the Stimulatory Neurotransmitters would rapidly run out-of-control, sending out signals faster and faster until the entire Nervous System became totally exhausted).

 

Types of Stimulatory Neurotransmitters

 Dopamine

 Glutamic Acid

 Kainic Acid

 Norepinephrine

 Phenylethylamine
