AB This  chapter  reviews  the  normal  physiology  of  neurotransmission,  the  molecular  action  and  biochemistry  of  several  major  neurotransmitters  and  their  receptors,  and  the  toxicologic  mechanisms  by  which  numerous  xenobiotics  act  at  the  molecular  level.  Acetylcholine,  norepinephrine,  epinephrine,  dopamine,  serotonin,  γ-aminobutyric  acid  (GABA),  γ-hydroxybutyrate  (GHB),  glycine,  glutamate,  and  adenosine  are  neurotransmitters  and  neuromodulators  of  toxicologic  interest  discussed  herein.
