न्यूरोट्रांसमीटर
Also known as neurotransmitters
A neurotransmitter is a signaling molecule secreted by a neuron to affect another cell across a synapse. The cell receiving the signal, or target cell, may be another neuron, but could also be a gland or muscle cell.
AI overview
A neurotransmitter is a chemical messenger that one nerve cell releases to send signals to another cell across a tiny gap called a synapse. This system allows nerve cells to communicate with other nerve cells, glands, and muscles, enabling your brain and body to coordinate everything from movement to mood.
