Primary transmitter substance in central nervous system
Acetylcholine
1 of 5
Released at inhibitory synapses, causing negative ions to flow into post synaptic neurones - causes hyperpolarisation
GABA
2 of 5
Stimulates release of acetylcholine and other neurotransmitters making an action potential more likely
Nicotine
3 of 5
Blocks receptors, prevents synaptic transmission. Loss of muscle function
Curare
4 of 5
Blocks calcium channels in presynaptic neurone, less transmitter is released and an action potential is less likely.
Opiods
