These are the brain chemicals that connect brain and the body.  They transmit signals between nerve cells, called neurons. They can also affect mood, sleep, concentration, weight, and can cause adverse symptoms when they are out of balance. These are of two types: Inhibitory and Excitatory. Acetylcholine, Glutamine and GABA are some of these neurotransmitters.

The global G protein, coupled receptors (GPCR) targeting drug market sharply fell in the last three years due to a series of patent expirations of blockbuster products. The market receded from nearly $111 billion to almost $100 billion with a -3.4% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) between 2010 and 2013. With the introduction of novel pharmacecuticals and newly appearing classes of drugs, Research expects this market to reach $114 billion by 2018, a CAGR of 2.7% from 2013 to 2018.
