Passing the 'message' to the next cell and so on. Excitatory neurotransmitters include glutamate, epinephrine and norepinephrine.

For example, dopamine, it's structure allows it to interact with the receptors in the brain, changing mood or motivation.

If these neurotransmitters malfunction, then disorders like epilepsy can happen.

What is the chemical structure of the neurotransmitter? C₉H₁₃NO₃, chemical properties include odorless, melting point at 211-212 °C and white to nearly-white microcrystalline powder or granules.


What does this neurotransmitter do to the brain, and what regions (and their related behaviors) does it affect? It plays a small role, mainly in metabolism, attention, focus, panic, and excitement.


Are there any diseases or conditions associated with this neurotransmitter, and how is it treated? When used as a medication, epinephrine is used to treat Cardiac arrest as it stimulates your heart, or in eye surgeries as it helps keep your pupils dilated. Epinephrine also opens airways and decreases airway spasms, helping with asthma.

An example of an inhibitory neurotransmitter would be GABA, a neurotransmitter that works in the CVS.
