What is a substance that promotes the activity of a neurotransmitter?

A substance that promotes the activity of a neurotransmitter is called an "agonist." Agonists bind to neurotransmitter receptors and mimic or enhance the effects of the natural neurotransmitter, thereby increasing its action in the brain or nervous system. For example, morphine acts as an agonist for endorphins, promoting pain relief and feelings of euphoria. This interaction can lead to various physiological and psychological effects depending on the neurotransmitter involved.


What facilitates or mimics the activity of a given neurotransmitter system?

Substances that facilitate or mimic the activity of a neurotransmitter system are known as agonists. These can include drugs, hormones, or natural compounds that bind to neurotransmitter receptors and activate them, producing effects similar to those of the natural neurotransmitter. For example, morphine acts as an agonist for the endorphin system by binding to opioid receptors, leading to pain relief. Additionally, some substances can enhance neurotransmitter release or inhibit their reuptake, further amplifying their effects in the synaptic cleft.
