Chemically
1) cholines; of which acetylcholine is the most important one;
2) biogenic amines: serotonin, histamine, and the catecholamines - dopamine and norepinephrine
3) amino acids - glutamate and aspartate are well known excitatory transmitters, while gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), glycine and taurine are inhibitory neurotransmitters.
4) neuropeptides,- these are formed by longer chains of amino acids (like a small protein molecule). Over 50 of them are known to occur in the brain, and many of them have been implied in the modulation or transmission of neural information.
