THE NEUROTRANSMITTER SONG
Вставка

- INTRO:
Neurotransmitters are chemical molecules,
Produced by neurons, they are communication tools!
They send signals to other neurons, muscles, or glands,
Excitatory, inhibitory, modulatory commands!
While signals passing within your neurons are electrical,
Communication between neurons is chemical
After job completion, neurotransmitters can be degraded,
Or diffuse from the receptor concentration is faded.
There may also be reuptake, wherein the molecule,
Is reabsorbed by the neuron that released it, cool!
Acetylcholine (ACh)
First to be discovered was ACh, or Acetylcholine,
ACh helps run your body’s maintenance routine,
It contracts smooth muscles, an excitatory function
And slows your heart rate down, an inhibitory function,
Whether a neurotransmitter, inhibits or excites,
Depends only on the target cell receptor types!
In skeletal muscle, ACh binds nicotinic receptors,
But in the heart, ACh binds muscarinic receptors.
In the CNS, it’s in interneurons that it’s mostly found,
In Alzheimer’s disease, the brain’s ACh levels are down.
Dopamine
Now onto the modulatory neurotransmitter dopamine,
Which runs the brain reward system, and is a catecholamine!
Cell bodies producing it are largely found in the midbrain,
The ventral tegmental area and substantia nigra are its domain.
Dopamine floods synapses when you get something good,
It modulates your thoughts, actions, and even your mood!
Dopamine also controls your posture and movement,
And it promotes wakefulness, so your time is well spent
Low levels in Parkinson’s is what make movements slow,
While high levels in schizophrenia make hallucinations show.
Norepinephrine
Norepinephrine is released from the adrenal medulla
It increases your heart rate but makes digestion slowa!
In the brain, it heightens arousal and so preps you for action,
So challenges or threats are met with the right reaction!
It’s the sympathetic nervous system’s main neurotransmitter,
It’s released by fear and stress, like from reading twitter!
It’s related to epinephrine, which makes the fight or flight response,
A neurotransmitter and a hormone which at adrenoreceptors docks.
Serotonin
Serotonin is the brain’s key monoamine neurotransmitter,
Messages within your gut, and to your brain it delivers!
It is modulatory, making tweaks to your systems,
Of cognition, emotions, physiology, and metabolism.
It regulates mood, sleep, wakefulness, appetite, and aggression,
Circadian rhythms, body temp, and neuroendocrine function!
Low serotonin results in sleepiness, brain fog, and confusion.
And low levels are found in people with depression.
GABA
The main inhibitor, GABA, keeps neuron messages at bay,
Inhibiting continuation of signals down a neural pathway,
Preventing excess signalling, it keeps activity in check,
Because excessive activity would just result in a wreck!
GABA removes signal “noise” and supports sleep,
Disrupting GABA signalling makes anxiety run deep.
GABA’s released from both axon terminals and dendrites
Allowing a fine-tuned response to the excitation it fights!
GABA is synthesized from glutamate despite
The fact that it’s inhibitory, while glutamate excites.
Glutamate (or Glutamic Acid)
Glutamate is the brain’s most abundant free amino acid,
Activating neurons so excitatory action is granted!
NMDA and AMPA are two major glutamate receptors,
They are on the receiving neuron and act as collectors!
It aids learning by affecting synaptic plasticity,
Hence updating the brain’s connectivity!
Oxytocin
Oxytocin forms strong bonds of loyalty and trust,
Makes the bond between mother and child more robust,
It stimulates release of milk from mammary glands,
During birth, the uterus contracts on its commands!
Oxytocin’s made and released from the hypothalamus,
Via the pituitary gland to trigger body responses!
Nitric Oxide (NO)
Nitric oxide is made on demand, it is a soluble gas,
Not stored in synaptic vesicles, through membranes it can pass,
When released it acts directly on molecules inside the cell,
It’s involved in memory and learning from what we can tell!

Im a psychology major and we have a molecular biology class. I can truely say that this video saved my life. Thanks and love from Turkey ❤️❤️
Kolay gelsin! Selamlar almanyadan. bende piskologi okuyorum
psychological counseling student from turkey and i have a intro to psychology course and we have biological perspective subject. i can truelt say that this video saved my life.
sameee
Same... Biological psychology ...
yep, this is a neuroscience student's anthem
E.T. without skin n bones.
Truly spectacular, the perfect blend of content and creativity!
Amazing help to learn the neuro transmitter
Aaahh😍❤️ I'm loving it😍
THANK YOU! I needed this in my life.
This is amazing. Thank you for this.
You're very welcome! :)
EXCELLENT! Thank you!
This is one the best video on neurotransmitter till date i watch..... Before this i feel neurotransmitter difficult bt now its like 🤩wow thanks 🙏
I watch your vedio with great interest.💝
Now my med school journey is gonna be easy. Thank You
Great video! Thank you!
Really need that for my studies
Thanks a lot Neural Academy 😄
This is so perfect, very useful thanks a lot ❤❤❤
I had never thought that this topic would be so easy 😊 you know what??? I just love music and all your videos are so great now i enjoy learning everything from your channel ☺☺☺ lots of thanks 🙏🙏🙏
write it down i wont remember the
song lol
i also love music a lott
This is so funny. Thank you!
Wowwww!!!!! .. You made it soooo easy and exciting 😍😍😍😍😍😍
Love it...💜🙌💜
From reading Twitter xD !!!
Currently studying anatomy and physiology majoring in pharmacy all of your video relate to everything I’m studying currently you’re amazing!
thank you for this it's really helpful!!
Thank you, this has been really helping me with prepare for my neuro exam😊
Awesome...
This was wonderful
It's just wow 👏👏👏
I love this!
So Great 💪😘💪
Thank you
Very interesting ❤️
So good ❤️
❤️superb ❤️😘🎉🎉
Amazing song 🎵 😅
This is awesome!
amazing thank you
Thanks a lot... Love from India❤
Would be super cool if you could do a video about the neuro/physiology of Polyvagal Theory by Dr. Porges!
Interesting! I've never heard of this before! :-O Wasn't covered during my neuroscience degree, though that was a while ago. I'm actually working on a video about the vagus nerve, and will look into it! - Viola
Wow intresting
🥰😍❤Students be like.
I can't be thankful enough.. You just made our day as students ❤
You are awesome love you neuroscience 3000
Soo good, made my day ❣️✨
I love this
❤❤
😀😀 awesome song
Truly amazing😍!
I'm not studying or researching anything... i'm kinda just chillin' here. Soo uh hi, I guess. : )
I like it tbh
wow the one before the last one was amazing
That's also my favorite!
Tomuhle asi nebudete rozumět, ale děkuju vám za pomoct u seminární práce
Yo give this guy a record deal lmao
The song is quite annoying but the information is priceless. I wish you would slow down the song a bit so we could have time to absorb the info. Don’t mean to be negative. Just trying to help. 😉
Tq more songs plzzzz
🙏🙏🙏
Me: Great video and rundown!
Also me: Trying to identify the songs they were based on 😂
I composed the songs :-)
@@NeuralAcademy Amazing! Almost classical ❤️
Oooooooh this channel is my love❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤💯
2:26 "It's released by fear and stress, like from reading Twitter" with Trump's HEAD
LMAOOOO
Wowwww
well, thats me having nightmares for life
💝👍👍
❤❤❤❤❤
Interesting and informative 😁💙
Slaps at half speed
What made you do this? Wonderful
It's hard to memorize what all the neurotransmitters do, so we tried to make it easier :-)
tom xam it works thx
A big majority of mass shooters were on ssri’s Thank you for this video. It shows what low levels of serotonin could do. Poor souls who were on ssri’s
Bro psych ap exam in 2 hours, just finding this song, am I cooked?
2:28 💀
Can low level serotonin cause migraine headaches?
According to a quick google: "A serotonin migraine is due to a deficiency in a person's serotonin level. During a Serotonin migraine, the levels of Serotonin in a person's system may rise and suddenly fall prior to the migraine. Low levels of serotonin are linked to both migraines and depression."
So creative! Can someone remix this to trap music 😂
I ❤️ u
Very useful for students and interesting learning trick
what da brain doin
❤🧡💛🎤🧠🎼🎵
I think you forgot to mention Epinephrine transmitter.
Composer by Tim Burton?🤣🤣🤣
Hahahaha! Going to sleep now. Byeeeeeeee
Um, you've forgotten those -OH groups on dopamine's benzene ring. So you are showing fenethylamine instead. Otherwise great song.
am the third comment xD the learning song is very good and easy to understand (English is not my mother tongue)
how about histamin? :"v
this is about m?
2nd one to comment xD
im pregnant
*Any NEET Aspirant* ❤️
This is so horrible that I am going to remember it lol
First to comment hehe
to learn this song i have to learn English first:(
CAMERA in my phone repair karana
Do u listen songs?yeah why not?and you are Muslim yeah
After all this is song 🎵
meanwhile, trump causing terror in twitter
I can memorize the lyrics but not the tone f*ck
while helpful, this is the most annoying ahhhhhh song ive ever heard
i think you are pro biden lol ! xD
#2:30
clunky lyrics. a stretch to call it a song. good information though.
This is absolutely the worst song I have ever heard and is making my ears bleed I’m begging you to take it down
This is the worst song I have heard in my whole entire life. Not only that, it did not help one bit. It gave me a headache within the first 10 seconds. Please delete
