Yet another new finding in the basic research of neurosciences breaks the mold of contemporary neuroscientific thought. A team of Canadian scientists reports that (at least some) neurons can use two different neurotransmitters, i.e. a single neuron can convey two separate messages and kinds of information. Traditionally, neuroscientists classify neurons according to the neurotransmitter they use. In the new paper, the team describes a group of dopaminergic neurons (whose neurotransmitter of choice is considered to be dopamine) that also uses glutamate, furthermore, the transmission of glutamate is rapid compared with the slower rate of dopamine transmission. The same phenomenon was also observed in neurons using serotonin that use in addition acethylcholine.
These findings adds another level of complexity to the crucial issue of neurocognitive regulation and control and opens a completely new front in the study of how intricate the propagation of signals/information in brains really is.
