About Neurotransmitters

So what are they? Also known as “brain chemicals,” Neurotransmitters are chemical messengers that allow the transmission of signals from one neuron to another via synapses.

Neurotransmitters are endogenous. This means that they originate within our bodies, as opposed to originating from the external “out-of-body” environment.

Our bodies synthesize neurotransmitter to orchestrate all thinking in the brain — as well as all the nervous system impulses that travel throughout the body.
