Expert Solution
Step 1: Introducing neurotransmitters

Neurotransmitters are very important for sending messages inside the brain and between the brain and other parts of the body. These chemicals are released from one neuron's end, travel across the synaptic gap, and bind to receptors on another neuron. They then send signals that change mood, memory, and muscle movement, among other things. These chemical signals are very important for the nervous system to work properly. They also play an important part in many processes that affect how we think, feel, and act.
