A

B

D
Neurotransmitters
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that the question is asking about the agents responsible for transmitting messages between nerve cells, which is a fundamental concept in neuropsychology.
Recall that nerve cells, or neurons, communicate with each other at junctions called synapses, where chemical messengers are released to carry signals.
Identify that hormones are chemical messengers but primarily travel through the bloodstream to target distant organs, not directly between nerve cells.
Recognize that antibodies are part of the immune system and do not function in neural communication.
Conclude that neurotransmitters are the specific chemicals released at synapses to transmit messages directly between nerve cells.
