Talk:Neurochemistry

A discussion for here or elsewhere?

This is very opportune, as, yesterday, I was trying to explain the differences among receptor agonists and antagonists, as well as modulators of receptivity. The agonist/antagonist model gets a little confounded when the drug is not a stimulant to secretion of the receptor, but is an analog of the active ligand, and attaches to the receptor as if it were the active drug/neurotransmitter.

Should this set of definitions, which really isn't unique to neurochemistry but applies to quite a few other regulatory mechanisms be here, or is there a better high-level article, or should there be a generic article on what, for lack of a better term, are biological signals (and I haven't even touched second messengers)?
