Interneurons in the CNS are primarily inhibitory , and use the neurotransmitter GABA or glycine . However, excitatory interneurons using glutamate in the CNS also exist, as do interneurons releasing neuromodulators like acetylcholine . Interneurons main function is to provide a neural circuit, conducting flow of signals or information between a sensory neuron and or motor neuron.

Elastic Modulus— The ratio of stress and strain is known as Elastic Modulus. Elastic Modulus (E) = Stress (σ) / Strain (ϵ) The constant of proportionality depends on the material being deformed and the nature of the deformation. This constant is called the elastic modulus . The elastic modulus determines the amount of force required per unit deformation. Ø A material with large elastic modulus is difficult to deform. Ø With small elastic modulus is easier to deform. HOOKE’S LAW— Within the elastic limit, Stress- Strain ratio is constant. [Stress/Strain = Constant] “In an elastic member stress (σ) is directly proportional to the strain (ϵ) within elastic Limit.” σ ∝ ϵ σ = E. ϵ or, E = σ / ϵ Where, σ = Stress ϵ = Strain E = Constant (modulus of Elasticity / Young’s Modulus) ϵ à ...

Amino acids neurotransmitters These neurotransmitters are involved in most functions of your nervous system. Glutamate. This is the most common excitatory neurotransmitter of your nervous system. It’s the most abundant neurotransmitter in your brain. It plays a key role in cognitive functions like thinking, learning and memory. Imbalances in glutamate levels are associated with Alzheimer’s disease , dementia , Parkinson’s disease and seizures . Gamma-aminobutryic acid (GABA). GABA is the most common inhibitory neurotransmitter of your nervous system, particularly in your brain. It regulates brain activity to prevent problems in the areas of anxiety , irritability, concentration, sleep, seizures and depression . Glycine. Glycine is the most common inhibitory neurotransmitter in your spinal cord. Glycine is involved in controlling hearing processing, pain transmission and metabolism. Monoamines neurotransmitters These neur...
