Why Learn About the Brain? Why are neurotransmitters so crucial, and why do I need to understand more about them? Neurotransmitters are essential to learning and behavior because they serve as the chemical messengers that allow neurons (nerve cells) to communicate with one another throughout the brain and body. This communication forms the basis of all brain functions, from basic physiological processes to complex cognitive abilities and emotional responses. Come and learn the impact of neurotransmitters on: Mood and emotions Motivation and reward Arousal and attention Learning and memory Anxiety and relaxation Sleep and appetite Attachment and bonds You’ll also learn how specific neurotransmitters affect behavior and how imbalances and disorders of neurotransmitter systems contribute to depression and anxiety in pets.
