Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Neurotransmitters are chemical messengers that are released by neurons and transmit nerve impulses across the synapse to other neurons or muscles.

B, C, and D are incorrect:
B - EEG measures electrical activity in the brain, not the presence or levels of neurotransmitters.
C - Genetic information is transmitted through DNA, not neurotransmitters.
D - While certain neurotransmitters may contribute to behavioral problems, their primary function is to transmit nerve impulses, not block information.
