Cocaine neurotransmitters - Study guides, Class notes & Summaries

Neurotransmitters a chemical messenger that communicates across a synapse Neuromodulators a chemical messenger that communicates with target cells more distant than the synapse by diffusing away from the point of release Neurohormones a chemical messenger that communicates with target cells at a great distance, often by traveling through the circulation Cholinergic releasing or activated by acetylcholine or a related compound Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) an enzy...
