- BDNF: neurotrophin, acts by binding to cell receptors TrkB ("Track B") and LNGFR (low-affinity nerve growth factor receptor, or p75) and modulating transmission
- NGF: small secreted protein which is important for the growth, maintenance, and survival of certain target neurons (nerve cells)
- Neurotrophin: part of a class of growth factors, secreted proteins, capable of signaling particular cells to survive, differentiate, or grow
- CASK: Calcium/calmodulin-dependent Serine protein Kinase - is a multidomain scaffolding protein with a role in synaptic transmembrane protein anchoring and ion channel trafficking
- Scaffold_protein: not strictly defined in function, they are known to interact and/or bind with multiple members of a signaling pathway, tethering them into complexes
- Wnt signaling pathway: Wg (wingless) and Int (Integration) sites of mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV) - a network of proteins involved in embryogenesis, cancer, and normal physiological function

- Glutamate most common 90%
- GABA, gamma aminobutyric acid common
- Acetylcholine
- Epinephrine or Adrenaline:hormone and neurotransmitter, produced increases heart rate, contracts blood vessels, dilates air passages and participates in the fight-or-flight response of the sympathetic nervous system
- Norepinephrine or NE or Noradrenaline
- Glycine: an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the CNS, especially in the spinal cord, brainstem, and retina
- Substance P: an undecapeptide, neuropeptide functions as a neurotransmitter and as a neuromodulator, found in the brain and spinal cord, and is associated with inflammatory processes and pain
- neurotransmitters uptake / degrade
- Monoamine_oxidase (MAO):a family of enzymes that catalyze the oxidation of monoamines, found bound to the outer membrane of mitochondria
- Catechol-O-methyl transferase:one of several enzymes that degrade catecholamines such as dopamine, epinephrine, and norepinephrine
- receptors
- Metabotropic receptor: are indirectly linked with ion-channels on the plasma membrane of the cell through signal transduction mechanisms, often G proteins
- Ionotropic receptor: a group of trans-membrane ion channels that are opened or closed in response to the binding of a chemical messenger (i.e., a ligand), such as a neurotransmitter
- G protein coupled receptor (GPCRs)
- Ligand gated ion channel (LGIC)
- Glutamate_receptor
- Metabotropic glutamate receptor
- NMDA receptor: ionotropic glutamate receptor, noted for voltage-dependent activation, a result of ion channel block by extracellular Mg2+ ions
- AMPA receptor: non-NMDA ionotropic glutamate receptors, mediates fast synaptic transmission in CNS
- Kainate receptor: non-NMDA ionotropic glutamate receptors

- Serotonin receptor, 5-HT 5-hydroxytryptamine receptors a group of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) except 5-HT3 receptor, a ligand-gated ion channel
- Adrenergic receptor: class of G protein-coupled catecholamine receptors, (esp. norepinephrine and epinephrine), not dopamine (also a catecholamine)
- Dopamine receptor:
- Histamine receptor: G protein-coupled receptors with histamine as their endogenous ligand
- Cannabinoid receptor type 1, (CB1) widely expressed G protein-coupled receptors, act as endocannabinoid-mediated depolarization-induced suppression of inhibition, common plasticity
