Neurotransmitters

Neuromodulator manipulations and abuses. Natural neuromodulators can aid the release or inhibit the reabsorption of neurotransmitters; still others delay the breakdown after reabsorption, leaving them in the tip to be reused by the next nerve impulse. Mood, pleasure, pain, and other mental states are determined by particular groups of neurons in the brain that use special sets of neurotransmitters and neuromodulators. For example, mood is strongly influenced by the neurotransmitter serotonin. It is believed that depression results from a shortage of serotonin. It is difficult to treat depression directly with serotonin because the chemical has too many other side effects. However, depression can be successfully treated with drugs that act as serotornin neuromodulators (Figure 02d). Prozac, the
