neurotransmitter
의미: A chemical substance released at the end of a nerve fibre that transmits signals across the gap between nerve cells or between a nerve cell and a muscle.
Neurotransmitters are essential for brain function and communication throughout the nervous system. Key examples include dopamine, serotonin, adrenaline, and GABA. Imbalances in neurotransmitter levels are linked to conditions such as depression, anxiety, Parkinson's disease, and schizophrenia. Many psychiatric medications work by altering neurotransmitter activity.
