Question

Difference between neurotransmitters and neuromodulators

Answer 1

Neurotransmitters: They are the chemical messengers who are endogenous chemicals that enable neurotransmission. They transmit signals across a chemical synapse, such as a neuromuscular junction, from one neuron to another target neuron.
Neuromodulators: They are the messenger released from a neuron in the central nervous system that affects groups of neurons or effector cells that have the appropriate receptors.

Answer 2

The main difference between neurotransmitter and neuromodulator is that neurotransmitter is a chemical messenger released by a neuron to affect either one or two post-synaptic neurons or another specific effector organ whereas neuromodulator is another chemical messenger released by a neuron to affect a group of
