There are different types of neurotransmitters and this infograph provides the information that we need to know. These are the chemicals that allow the transmission of signals from one neuron to the next across synapses. Nine neurotransmitters are described in this graphic. Dopamine produces feelings of pleasure and is usually inhibitory. Glycine is used by neurons in the spinal cord and is inhibitory. Seratonin is involved in many functions including but not limited to mood and appetite, and is inhibitory in pain pathways. Norepinephrine is part of the flight or fights response, and is usually excitatory. Acetylcholine is used to control muscles and regulate memory; it’s usually excitatory. Gaba is the main inhibitory neurotransmitter of the brain. Glutamate is the most common excitatory neurotransmitter in the brain. Adrenaline prepares the body to react to stress. Endorphins interact with opiate receptors to reduce perception of pain.

Is your child struggling in school?
Get your free personalized learning roadmap
You describe what you see at home. We turn it into a plan you start this week.
- Answer 5 short questionnaires about what you already notice, 30–45 minutes at your own kitchen table
- Your child sits no test and gets no score: nothing to schedule, nothing for them to dread
- You do the answering, the AI does the writing, and a person reviews it before it reaches you
- Access all 40+ courses instantly: reading, math, focus, processing and more, with new ones added regularly
Why we use AI, plainly: it writes from a knowledge base our team maintains and audits. We work through it line by line and pull anything the evidence stops supporting. The roadmap you get on Tuesday reflects what we corrected on Monday, and a human still reads it before you do.
Your school district must evaluate your child free of charge if you ask in writing, whatever your income and whatever the outcome (US, 34 CFR 300.111 and 300.301(b)). That route takes time and answers a different question than you do. This one starts today, from what you already know.
Your answers stay yours. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not hand identifiable assessment data to outside AI companies to train their models.
A screener is a starting point, not a diagnosis. If your child might need formal accommodations (an IEP or 504 plan), or you suspect a vision, hearing or medical cause, pursue a professional evaluation too. That is the only route to those supports.
