Extract

At the end of the last century it was established that the different nerve cells along a neuronal path do not come into direct physical contact with one another, but that there are narrow gaps between them, called synapses (Sherrington, 1897; Ramón y Cajal, 1906). Elliot (1905) made the basic experimental observation that the propagation of nerve impulses across a synapse might be mediated by specific chemical agents (see Fig. i). Such substances are now called neurotransmitters, and some 20 different compounds putatively responsible for synaptic transmission in different parts of the nervous system are known at present, e.g. a few recently isolated polypeptides. The most extensively studied transmitters are acetylcholine and the catecholamine group, consisting of dopamine (a), noradrenaline (b), and adrenaline (c).
