List of Important Neurotransmitters and their Functions

Neurotransmitters are chemical messengers inside the body. They are essential for human growth and a variety of physical and mental processes [1]. 

There are several types of neurotransmitters that act on different aspects of mental and bodily functions. Let us have a look at the important neurotransmitters and their functions.

So far scientists have identified over 100 neurotransmitters. However, the ten of them are most vital. In this article, we’ll take a closer look at the main neurotransmitters in your body.
