  Those neurotransmitters just release electrical impulses so if you want to break it down everything about humans reduces down to electricity traveling through out meat

    Neurotransmitters are chemicals used for communication, but i uderstand what you mean.

    Yes, but the key detail is governance. There’s specific molecules that, without them, there is no attention to be sought. Paying attention or “having willpower” is causally linked to these specific compounds being present in the meat.

    Much of “free will” boils down to regulation of these neurotransmitters.

      If your goal is to boil it down to the fundamental levels it’s the ion that’s that cause action potentials that are actually causing thought

      If you want to look at it holistically it’s due to the connections of the dendrites and how those interact with each other

      We have no control of our neurotransmitters and they are only released in response to stimuli from another cell

    If you typed this into your address bar youd have an answer instead of a downvote. lol

    Neurotransmitters are chemicals used by terminal buttons to carry information across the synaptic gap to the dendrite of the recipient neuron.

      And what are those?

        You’re reading words on a screen either way.

        Who do you think is a better source:

        1. An unverified, inaccurate, low effort, and low quality idiot 😁
        2. or Britannica?

        Unless you mean something else that I’m not receiving.
