1 Co-existence of amine and/or peptide transmitters in the vast majority of neurons.

2 Neurotransmitter

3 Neuropeptides Peptites Neuropeptides are small protein-like molecules (peptides) used by neurons to communicate with each other

4 Neuropeptides modulate neuronal communication by acting on cell surface receptors. Many neuropeptides are co-released with other small-molecule neurotransmitters. peptides are not recycled back into the cell once secreted

5 Catechol Adrenaline Noradrenaline Dopamine

6 Involved in: sleep and wakefulness, attention, and feeding behavior, as well as a stress hormone released by the adrenal glands that regulates the sympathetic nervous system. Norepinephrine

7 adrenal stress hormone,
as well as a neurotransmitter present at lower levels in the brain. Epinephrine

8 Involved in: motivation, reward, addiction, behavioral reinforcement, and coordination of bodily movement. Dopamine
