Natural neuroactive substance

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

A natural neuroactive substance (NAS) is a chemical synthesized by

neuromodulators.[1] Neurotransmitters work only between adjacent neurons through synapses
. Neurohormones are released into the blood and work at a distance. Some natural neuroactive substances act as both transmitters and as hormones.
