In the brain, nerve cells provide communication between the body and the brain itself. Every time you move, feel the wind on your face, hear a voice, recall a memory, information moves along or between neurons. It will therefore come as no surprise that sleep, good nutrition, smoking, drinking, sports, and your environment influence health. These are often elements that are discussed during an investigation.

Neurotransmitters are substances that ensure the communication between nerve cells. After all, nerve cells are not attached to each other. There is a small gap in between. A signal passes from one nerve cell to another nerve cell via specific molecules: neurotransmitters and neuromodulators. Some of the most important are: serotonin, norepinephrine, dopamine and acetylcholine and GABA.
What is less known is that a large number of processes in the brain are disrupted because the functioning of so-called neurotransmitters is disrupted, and the balance between these neurotransmitters and the neuromodulators is disrupted. For example, there may be too little or too much stored in the neurons, the neurons release too much, the natural breakdown does not go well, other molecules occupy the receptors of the neurotransmitters, or the receptors have a disturbed sensitivity. The latter in particular is very common.
