This document discusses neurotransmitters and how they transmit signals between neurons in the brain and body. It begins by defining neurotransmitters as brain chemicals that communicate information throughout the brain and body. It then describes the basic structure of a neuron with dendrites, a cell body, and an axon. Neurotransmitters are produced in the cell body and travel down the axon to be released at presynaptic terminals into the synaptic cleft between neurons. They can then activate receptors on the receiving neuron. There are inhibitory neurotransmitters like GABA and serotonin that decrease neural activity, and excitatory neurotransmitters like acetylcholine, norepinephrine, and histamine that increase neural activity. The document provides examples of important neurotransmitters and their
Various neurotransmitters, mechanism of action and their physiological functions are explained and is useful for ug and pg students of medicine, neurology, psychiatry branches.

FDA STAMP Conference on CNS Shunts Agenda January 1999Stephen Dolle
Conference agenda for the 1999 STAMP Conference on CNS Shunts and anti siphon devices in Bethesda, MD, brought about by patient advocate Stephen Dolle and his efforts with a 1996 petition to FDA on anti siphon shunts. Dolle oddly was not invited to speak or be a panelist, or to have his new mHealth DiaCeph Test included in the conference. In the years since, CNS shunts have suffered significant medical device and design failures, most of which have not been reported to FDA, which Dolle attributes to the cover ups dating back to this conference. As of 2015, Dolle has undergone 12 shunt operations, with the majority of these caused by failing CNS shunts that were never reported to FDA. The more your know!
Patient Advocate Stephen Dolle's FDA Stamp Conference RecommendationsStephen Dolle
This is a paper of FDA STAMP Conference recommendations FDA patient advocate and CNS shunt user Stephen Dolle, which he wrote for this 1999 Conference in Bethesda, MD, a conference he was responsible for, yet was not invited to speak on panel, nor was his new solution oriented DiaCeph Test included in the conference. STAMP was held in part due to Dolle's 1996 FDA petition on anti siphon shunts, of which he was an affected user, and FDA upheld, but oddly withheld their Sept. 1998 ruling from the Federal Register. Dolle did everything he could possibly do to bring progress in CNS shunts, yet wasn't allowed.
You can read from his recommendations back in 1999 that he had a vision to bring progress in this area. Since 1999, CNS shunts have been plagued by widespread device failures, more notably programmable shunts.
CNS shunts users today face new risks from years of over use of CT scanning, which DiaCeph would have reduced. Some patients have had as many as 100 and 200.

This is David L. Daly of the FDA official response and denial to my request to add CNS shunts to new 2002 FDA post market surveillance that would have likely prevented all of the failures with programmable and other CNS shunts in the years between 1999-2013. David Daly's negligence here ushered in a flood of failures with CNS shunts. I no longer have 949-642-4592 telephone number. Please reach me at contact[at]dollecommunications[dot]com

Neurotransmitters are chemical messengers that transmit a signal from a neuron across the synapse to a target cell, which can be a different neuron, muscle cell, or gland cell. Neurotransmitters are chemical substances made by the neuron specifically to transmit a message.
In order for neurons to send messages throughout the body, they need to be able to communicate with one another to transmit signals. However, neurons are not simply connected to one another. At the end of each neuron is a tiny gap called a synapse and in order to communicate with the next cell, the signal needs to be able to cross this small space. This occurs through a process known as neurotransmission.
There are a number of different ways to classify and categorize neurotransmitters. In some instances, they are simply divided into monoamines, amino acids, and peptides

3. NEUROTRANSMITTERS are the brain chemicals
that communicate information throughout our
brain and body.
They relay signals between nerve cells, called
“neurons.”
The brain uses neurotransmitters to tell
• your heart to beat,
• your lungs to breathe, and
• your stomach to digest.
• They can also affect mood, sleep, concentration, weight,
and
• can cause adverse symptoms when they are out of
balance.
4. This is a NEURON
Dendrites are branching
fibers that receive
information from other
neurons
Soma is the cell body
of a neuron. It
contains a
nucleus, ribosomes, m
itochondria, and other
structures. This is
where much of the
metabolic work takes
place
Axon is a thin
fiber where
information is
sent from the
neuron to other
neurons
Soma
Presynaptic
terminals
Presynaptic
terminals are the
point where the
axon releases
chemicals
Dendrites
Axon
5. Neurotransmitter comes from soma
It travels through the axon
From the pre-synaptic terminal it is
taken through the synapse to the
next neuron
Re-uptake sometimes occurs
Transmission of Neurotransmitters
7. Chemical transducers
released
By electrical impulse
Into the synaptic cleft
From pre-synaptic
membrane
By synaptic vesicles.
Diffuse to the post-
synaptic membrane
React and activate the
receptors present
Leading to initiation of
new electrical signals.
8. Across a small gap called the synapse.
An electrical impulse will trigger the migration of
vesicles containing neurotransmitters toward the
presynaptic membrane.
The vesicle membrane fuse with the presynaptic
membrane releasing the neurotransmitters into the
synaptic cleft.
Chemicals, called neurotransmitters, are released
from one neuron at the presynaptic nerve terminal.
9. Neurotransmitters then cross the synapse where
they may be accepted by the next neuron at a
specialized site called a receptor.
Either depolarization (an excitatory postsynaptic
potential) or hyper polarization (an inhibitory
postsynaptic potential).
A depolarization makes it MORE likely that an
action potential will fire; a hyper polarization
makes it LESS likely that an action potential will
fire.
10. It occurs in 4 steps:
◦ Synthesis of transmitter
◦ Storage & release of transmitter
◦ Interaction of transmitter with receptor in postsynaptic
membrane
◦ Removal of transmitter from synaptic cleft
12. There are 2 types of receptors:
◦ Ion-Channel linked receptor
◦ G- Protein linked receptor
13. Inactivation of the transmitter happens in one
of three ways:
Re-absorption of the neurotransmitter into the
neuron. This is known as reuptake and is the
normal process.
Destruction of the neurotransmitter with special
chemicals called enzymes. This is known as
enzymatic degradation.
By the neurotransmitter becoming detached from
the receptor and drifting out of the synaptic cleft.
This is known as diffusion.
14. Two types:
◦ Inhibitory-inhibit nerve impulses and calm the brain
and help create balance.
◦ Excitatory-propagate nerve impulses and stimulate
the brain.
Inhibitory neurotransmitters balance mood
and are easily depleted when the excitatory
neurotransmitters are overactive.
15. Action of Inhibitory Neurotransmitters
Action potential goes down synaptic knobs of
another neuron
Release of Inhibitory neurotransmitters
Activation of receptor site on cell membrane
Opening of potassium channels
Flow of k⁺ out of cell
Cell inside becomes –ve
Leads to local hyper polarization
Known as Inhibitory Post Synaptic Potential (IPSP)
17. SEROTONIN is an inhibitory neurotransmitter –
which means that it does not stimulate the brain.
Serotonin are necessary for a stable mood and to
balance any excessive excitatory (stimulating)
neurotransmitter firing in the brain.
Stimulant medications or caffeine can cause a
depletion of serotonin over time.
Serotonin also regulates many other processes
such as carbohydrate cravings, sleep cycle, pain
control and appropriate digestion.
Low serotonin levels are also associated with
decreased immune system function.
18. GABA (Gamma-Amino Butyric Acid)
When brain experiences an abundance of nervous
tension and stress, it can be caused by a surplus of
norepinephrine or epinephrine (adrenaline).
To neutralize this extra adrenaline, the brain
produces neurotransmitters, one of which is GABA.
When GABA is out of range (high or low excretion
values), it is likely that an excitatory
neurotransmitter is firing too often in the brain.
GABA will be sent out to attempt to balance this
stimulating over-firing.
19. DOPAMINE is a special neurotransmitter because it is
considered to be both excitatory and inhibitory.
Plays a critical role in the control of movement.
It has a stimulating effect on the heart, the circulation, the
rate of metabolism, and is able to mobilize many of the
body’s energy reserves.
It helps to modulate brain activity, control coordination and
movement, and regulate the flow of information to different
areas of the brain.
Dopamine is believed to release chemicals that allow us to
feel pleasure (e.g. endorphins).
A massive disturbance of dopamine regulation in the brain
can result in a person no longer being able to respond
emotionally or express his or her feelings in an appropriate
way (e.g. schizophrenia).
20. Action of Excitatory Neurotransmitters
Action potential goes down synaptic knobs of
another neuron
Release of Excitatory neurotransmitters
Activation of receptor site on cell membrane
Opening of ligand-gated sodium ion channels.
Flow of Na⁺ in the cell
Cell becomes less –ve
Leads to to a local depolarization
Known as Excitatory Postsynaptic Potential (EPSP).
22. Norepinephrine also known as noradrenaline
is a excitatory neurotransmitter that is
produced by the adrenal medulla or made
from dopamine.
High levels of norepinephrine are linked to
anxiety, stress, high blood pressure, and
hyperactivity.
Low levels are linked to lack of
energy, focus, and motivation.
23. Histamine is most commonly known for it's
role in allergic reactions but it is also involved
in neurotransmission and can affect your
emotions and behavior as well.
Histamine helps control the sleep-wake cycle
and promotes the release of epinephrine and
norepinephrine.
High histamine levels have been linked to
obsessive compulsive
tendencies, depression, and headaches.
Low histamine levels can contribute to fatigue
and medication sensitivities.
24. Acetylcholine same as Dopamine can be both Inhibitory
and Excitatory.
Acetylcholine (often abbreviated ACh) is the most
common neurotransmitter. It is located in both the
central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral
nervous system (PNS).
In the central nervous system, acetylcholine acts as part
of a neurotransmitter system and plays a role in
attention and arousal.
In the peripheral nervous system, this neurotransmitter
is a major part of the autonomic nervous system and
works to activate muscles.
Acetylcholine is also involved in memory and learning
and is in particularly short supply in people with
Alzheimer's disease.
25. All chemical messengers in the brain have immense
interconnectivity.
Their function relies on a system of checks and
balances during each moment of life. If one part of
the system fails, others can’t do their job properly.
Panic disorder is just one of many physical and
psychological illnesses that are believed to be
influenced by the complex interacting of
neurotransmitters.
Neurotransmitter levels can now be determined by
a simple and convenient urine test collected at
home. Knowing your neurotransmitter levels can
help you correct a problem today or prevent
problems from occuring in the future.
