A neurotransmitter is the humble broker in a whisper-quiet deal between neurons. It smuggles joy, sorrow, and everything in between across the synaptic void, keeping silent until the recipient erupts. So ubiquitous it’s taken for granted until a single misstep plunges the entire body into chaos. Working around the clock, it puppeteers our emotions and actions from behind the scenes. Thank you and goodbye—as if the body could spare a moment to remember your name, dopamine.
