Elements of the chemical brain .. The role of neurotransmitters in the function of emotions, feelings, thinking, sleep, movement and appetite for food and sexual desire



Many psychological medical research attempts to focus on understanding this aspect of mental illness. It is known that the neurotransmitter and the brain especially works through chemicals manufactured within the cells, and pass through these cells to move the effect from one cell to another nearby. These chemicals are called neurotransmitters. The nerve cell releases some of these neurotransmitters to go and in turn affect special chemical receptors located on the surface of the adjacent neuron, thus passing the nerve "orders" through the neuron.
The exact number of these vectors is not known, but there are dozens of them. Each one has its role and its own special or calming effect on the neuron. These vectors affect each other, either modified or exciting, so that the final effect is the sum and outcome of a number of these neurotransmitters.
These vectors play a large role in the function of emotions, feelings, thinking, sleep, movement, appetite for food and sexual desire, and other activities and events. It is believed that an imbalance in some functions of these vectors directly interferes with the occurrence of some mental diseases. The increase or decrease in the quantity of these vectors, or more precisely the imbalance between some vectors directly affects the mental and psychological state of man.
Many of the drugs used in the treatment of mental illness are treated by the influence of these neurotransmitters, activated or disabled, thus modifying the patient's mental state. This aspect of psychiatry still expects many discoveries in the coming years.
