The diverse roles and actions of these molecules as neurotransmitters and neuromodulators have been the subject of years of research. This infographic details The classic neurotransmitters and ...

Neuromodulation is the process by which nervous activity is regulated by way of controlling the physiological levels of several classes of neurotransmitters. Image Credit: KateStudio/Shutterstock ...

An inhibitory transmitter prevents it. Neuromodulators regulate groups of neurons. Some neurotransmitters, such as dopamine, depending on the receptors present, create both excitatory and ...

The third type of neurotransmitter - neuromodulators - work differently; they are not confined to the synaptic cleft between just two nerve cells but can regulate many neurons simultaneously.

These neurotransmitters, often referred to as neuromodulators, are capable of affecting a larger number of neurons at the same time. These neuromodulators also influence the effects of other ...

Janelia researchers are decoding how neurons carry out computations carefully calibrated to an animal's movement and ...
