QUESTION

Which among the given is an excitatory neurotransmitter?

OPTIONS

(A) Dopamine
(B) Glycine
(C) Seratonin
(D) Glutamate

ANSWER

(D) Glutamate

EXPLANATION

Glutamate is the correct option because glutamate is the major excitatory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system and activates several excitatory receptor types. Glycine is predominantly inhibitory, dopamine is a modulatory neurotransmitter with context-dependent effects, and serotonin is mainly modulatory rather than the principal fast excitatory transmitter.
