Deutsch: Neurotransmitter sind heterogene biochemische Stoffe, welche die Information von einer Nervenzelle zur anderen an den Synapsen weitergeben. (aus der Wikipedia)
English: Neurotransmitters are chemicals that are used to relay, amplify and modulate electrical signals between a neuron and another cell. (from en:Neurotransmitter)
Español: Un neurotransmisor es una biomolécula, sintetizada generalmente por las neuronas, que se vierte, a partir de vesículas existentes en la neurona presináptica, hacia la brecha sináptica y produce un cambio en el potencial de acción de la neurona postsináptica. (de es:Neurotransmisor)
Français : Les neurotransmetteurs sont des substances chimiques libérées par les neurones agissant sur d'autres neurones ou plus rarement sur d'autres types de cellules. (de fr:Neurotransmetteur)
Italiano: Un neurotrasmettitore è una sostanza che nel sistema nervoso trasporta segnali tra neuroni (le cellule nervose) attraverso le sinapsi chimiche. (di it:Neurotrasmettitore
