What Role Do Neurotransmitters Play in Behavioral Changes?
Neurotransmitters are chemical messengers that transmit signals across a synapse from one neuron to another. Histological studies can reveal how changes in neurotransmitter levels and receptor densities affect behavior. For example, alterations in dopamine levels are associated with disorders such as Parkinson's disease and schizophrenia, both of which have significant behavioral components.
