( Neurochemistry)
Neurochemistry is the branch of neuroscience devoted to the study of neurochemicals. A neurochemical is an organic molecule that participates in neural activity. This term is often used to refer to neurotransmitters and other molecules such as neuro-active drugs that influence neuron function. The founding of neurochemistry as a discipline traces it origins to a series of "International Neurochemical Symposia", of which the first symposium volume published in 1954 was titled Biochemistry of the Developing Nervous System.[1] These meetings led to the formation of the International Society for Neurochemistry and the American Society for Neurochemistry. These early gatherings discussed the tentative nature of possible synaptic transmitter substances such as acetylcholine, histamine, substance P, and serotonin. By 1972, ideas were more concrete. Neurochemicals such as norepinephrine, dopamine, and serotonin were classified as "putative neurotransmitters in certain neuronal tracts in the brain." href="/Behavioral_neurology_link.html" title="Behavioral neurology">Behavioral neurology&_160;· Cognitive neuroscience&_160;· Computational neuroscience&_160;· Molecular cellular cognition&_160;· Neural engineering&_160;· Neuroanatomy&_160;· Neurobiology&_160;· Neurochemistry&_160;· Neuroendocrinology&_160;· Neuroimaging&_160;· Neurolinguistics&_160;· Neurology&_160;· Neuromonitoring&_160;· Neuropharmacology&_160;· Neurophysiology&_160;· Neuropsychiatry&_160;· Neuropsychology&_160;· Neurosurgery&_160;· Systems neuroscience
