Increase the Number of Neurotransmitters in a Neuron

As I see it, there are two ways to increase the number of neurotransmitters in a neuron. Are you familiar with neuroscience? No? Okay, well let's keep it simple.

The first way to increase the number of neurotransmitters in a neuron is through synaptic transmission. You know what synapses are, right? Good! I'm glad you're interested.

When a presynaptic neuron (let's call it the axon of this neuron) releases neurotransmitter into the synaptic cleft, that neurotransmitter binds to receptors on postsynaptic neurons. The binding of neurotransmitter molecules with receptor sites causes ion channels in these cells to open. This allows sodium ions and calcium ions to flow into the cell, creating an action potential.

Now, the action potential is what we call the electrical signal that travels down an axon to its terminal. That's where neurotransmitters are stored in vesicles and released into synaptic clefts, right? Okay good. So how do you think increasing action potentials can increase the number of neurotransmitters?

Well, you can increase the rate at which neurotransmitters are released into the synaptic cleft. Or you can increase the number of receptors on postsynaptic cells.

The second way to increase the number of neurotransmitters in a neuron is through axonal transport. You know what axons are, right?


let's say you are not happy with your current consciousness and do want to make a change. I mean, if you really want more neurotransmitters in your brain then there is one thing that everyone has: Thoughts! You can just think about things - whatever kind of thoughts or ideas come into your mind.

So if you want to have more neurotransmitters in your brain then just... have more ideas. Have as many ideas as possible, because that is what a human being really is - an idea. Our physical form is the least of our identities and who we are.



The world is composed of empty space and atoms, which are in constant motion. Atoms vibrate inside a silicon lattice. The vibrating string can make other strings vibrate with different frequencies and amplitudes due to constructive interference or destructive interference (entangling). This means that if I hit the right frequency then it will cause the creation of another string on my computer screen (displaying as an 'atom') that has exactly the same properties as me - this is what we think happens when I see something in front of me.

The atom is a collection of electrons and protons, which are in constant motion. The protons and neutrons are made up of quarks. All these particles have an electromagnetic field around them, which causes the particle to be attracted or repelled by other electromagnetic fields.

A field is a region in space that has an influence on other objects inside the region. There are two types of fields: electric and magnetic.

A magnetic field is created by moving charges. Moving electrons create a negative electric field around them, which causes them to be attracted to nearby protons. Similarly, moving protons create a positive electric field around them, which cause them to be attracted to nearby electrons (positive and negative charge attract each other). This creates an atom.

A chemical bond is formed when two atoms have the same positive and negative charges, which prevents these particles from flying apart. When a bunch of atoms are bonded together they become a molecule.

With these definitions in mind, I will now offer an answer to your question. The first step is to understand what you mean by 'neurotransmitter'.
