source. Neuron.wps

Neurotransmitters’ Actions : A 6 page paper discussing the
role of neurotransmitters such as dopamine, serotonin and
acetylcholine in diseases and disorders such as depression,
anxiety disorders, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease and

with compounds that are narrowly targeted to affect the
receptors specific for each of the known neurotransmitters.
