neurotransmitter

When a neurotransmitter binds to a receptor, it unlocks an internal channel, allowing small ions to flow into the cell.

MDMA, meanwhile, triggers the release of neurotransmitters, including dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin, and elevates levels of the hormone oxytocin.

They all interact with the body's serotonin neurotransmitter system, which regulates many processes, including mood, sleep-wake cycles, appetite, and memory.

Instead, it actually focuses on a different neurotransmitter system called glutamate.

Neurons transfer this information to one another via chemical messengers called neurotransmitters, which are released by one neuron and received by receptors at another.

And so, you know, with this diagram, we're showing two nerve cells and just a neurotransmitter in this case ketamine, actually, which targets the glutamate system.
