An Introduction to Neurotransmitters

Ali Inam

I need to give a presentation on the basics concepts of the Neurotransmitters. Now, alot of stuff is available on the net and I can easily get it all from there.

But I am thinking about doing something different, I am thinking about to introduce the neurotransmitter from a different perspective rather then directly defining and explaining it to the audience.

What I thought was to tell them about the body movements and whatever movements which we have as voluntary. So, I thought of starting that for example, we wave our hand, how do we do it ? From the brain. Then, how is the brain performing it ? With the help of the Nervous System. Then how the nervous system is acting ? With the help of the neuron. Then if the brain is positioned at our head, then how does it can control the movement of our hands and feet from there ? obviously, with the help of the neuron. Then, how is the neuron getting involved ? By transmitting signals. By the generation of impulses.

Then I will tell about the type of impulses, about chemical impulses, then will come the INTRODUCTION OF NEURON

So, is there any wrong in whatever I am planning to prepare in my presentation ? Please Guide me

Thanks ! *
