Neurochemistry is defined as a series of specific studies on all types of chemical components, which include the so-called neurotransmitters and particles as narcotics that can cause drastic changes in neurons. Its importance lies in the function of the chemical substances that are synthesized and released within the brain, since it is through them that said organ will be able to fully comply with each and every one of its functions, among the most relevant substances are find the hormones, neurotransmitters, peptides, among others.
By the 1950s, this science became a specialty of scientific research of great relevance in the world. The beginnings of neurochemistry go back to a set of international meetings on neurochemistry, thanks to which literature of great importance emerged, such as the one published in 1954 called " Biochemistry of the development of the nervous system". These conventions served as an incentive to promote the emergence of an International Society of Neurochemistry, in the initial conventions the topics of discussion were regarding the origins of different neurotransmitter substances such as histamine, acetylcholine and serotoninBy the 1970s, the topics of discussion and research were more specific.
By studying the brain in detail, a large number of events as incredible as they are complicated can be observed, which take place, vary and disappear in a few seconds, an example of this occurs when people perform a movementof any of its extremities, these processes are the result of the work carried out by a large conglomerate of neurons, which through electrical contact are able to determine the activities, feelings and emotions of the organism. Things that people usually find as simple as memories, smells and also how things are learned are highly complex functions where a large number of chemical substances are involved and which are the object of neurochemistry study. Thanks to it, many unknowns that in ancient times were had about the health of human beings have been deciphered.
