Description
The central nervous system functions by the use of many different neurotransmitters. The classic transmitters acetylcholine and norepinephrine are the best known. However, many actions in postganglion neurons are effected by non-adrenergic and non-cholinergic substances for which the acronym NANC has been adopted. This monograph will cover these novel transmitters.
