Dopamine neuron synapse chemistry. Illustration of two nerve cells (neurons) connecting at a synapse (circled) where the neurotransmitter dopamine (yellow spheres) is being released. The dopamine attaches to receptors (red) on the other side of the synaptic gap. Dopamine plays an important role in brain chemistry, and its underproduction causes Parkinson's disease, while excess may cause paranoia and other mental illnesses. | |
