where are neurotransmitters made?

Answer 1

It is synthesized endogenously, that is, within the presynaptic neuron; specialized junctions through which cells of the nervous system signal to one another and to non-neuronal cells such as muscles or glands. Chemical synapses allow the neurons of the central nervous system to form interconnected neural circuits.A chemical synapse between a motor neuron and a muscle cell is called a neuromuscular junction(is the synapse or junction of the axon terminal of a motoneuron with the motor end plate, the highly-excitable region of muscle fiber plasma membrane responsible for initiation of action potentials across the muscle's surface, ultimately causing the muscle to contract. The signal passes through the neuromusclar junction via the neurotransmitter acetylcholine.)

Answer 2

The above two answers are a misleading PARTIAL approach. Around 2010 is become more accepted neuroransmitters are made in the gut as well as the head.

I'm not sure the science is far enuf along to event say which makes more NTs, gut or head. What I commonly see online from experts is most serotonin is made in the gut.

The earlier technical-chemical answer is current knowledge for what portion of NTs are made in the neurons.

Holistic Brain Balance suggests a simpler approach that may work better for many students of the topic. Only half of NT production is diet (protein) and supplementation. The other half is willingness to make NTs in our unconscious. In both the 1980s and early 2000s it was proven even optimal diet and supplementation did not produce expected NT production in many individuals. HealingToolbox and Holistic Brain Balance have uncovered the other 50% willingness. Resistance to making NTs can be navigated by self-testing (muscle testing 2.0) but the topic is very new. First book on this due out early 2016.
