Interactive Origin of Neuromodulators

Demonstrating the major anatomical nuclei origins of diffuse neuromodulatory systems in the human brain.

🧠 Neurobiological Concepts Explained

This application models the structural pathways of neuromodulators. Unlike standard neurotransmitters that transmit fast, localized signals between two specific neurons, neuromodulators are released by localized hubs of neurons and diffuse across wide regions of the central nervous system to alter overall neural state, alertness, mood, and plasticity.
