Neurotransmitters are chemical messengers that act as communication agents between brain cells. These substances influence our physical occurrences and psychological occurrences such as sleep, aggression, fear, etc.

Biogenic amine neurotransmitters are messengers for all our psychological disturbances.

Serotin – modulates anxiety, mood, sleep, appetite and sexuality.

Norepinephrine- influences sleep and alertness

Epinephrube- influences stress and is managed by the adrenal system

Dopamine – influences body movement and involved in motivation.

Histamine – influence arousal, attention and learning

Acetycholine – associated with muscle activation, learning and memory
