Neurotransmitters: The Brain’s Chemical Messengers (Season 2, Episode 3: Neuroscience)


Listen Later

What if I told you that your thoughts, feelings, and every move you make are powered by tiny chemicals constantly zipping around your brain? In this episode, we’re diving into the captivating world of neurotransmitters — the brain’s very own chemical messengers.

Join us on a journey to uncover how these microscopic messengers help your neurons communicate, shaping everything from your mood and motivation to your memory and movement. You’ll meet the brain’s most famous chemicals like dopamine, serotonin, and GABA, and learn how they influence not just how you feel but how you function every single day.

We’ll also explore what happens when these chemical signals go out of balance — and how that can lead to mental health challenges or neurological conditions. Plus, we’ll reconnect with the concept of neuroplasticity — your brain’s remarkable ability to adapt and grow — and discover how understanding neurotransmitters can help you build a healthier, sharper mind.

If you've ever wanted to know what’s really going on behind every thought, feeling, or flash of inspiration — this episode will open your eyes to the invisible yet powerful chemical language of your brain. Get ready to see yourself — and your mind — in a whole new light!
