Have you heard of dopamine, serotonin, and glutamate? Did you know that they are small molecule neurotransmitters, which are stored in synaptic vesicles, synthesized in the presynaptic terminal from precursor molecules, and released fast upon action potential stimulation? In this lecture, I talk about the physiological functions of this group of neurotransmitters.
