Can you inventory adjectives prearranged neurotransmiters?

I know we dont know them all, but what DO we know? 1) amino acids (primarily glutamic acerbic, GABA, aspartic acid & glycine), (2) peptides (vasopressin, somatostatin, neurotensin, etc.) and (3) monoamines (norepinephrine, dopamine & serotonin) plus acetylcholine. The chief "workhorse" neurotransmitters of the brain are glutamic acid (=glutamate) and GABA. Neurotransmitters can be broadly classified into small-molecule transmitters and neuroactive peptides. Around 10 small-molecule neurotransmitters are prearranged: acetylcholine, 5 amines, and 3 or 4 amino acids (depending on exact definition used), Purines, (Adenosine, ATP, GTP and their derivatives) are neurotransmitters. Fatty acids are also receiving attention as the potential endogenous cannabinoid. Over 50 neuroactive peptides own been found, among them hormones such as LH or insulin that own specific local actions within addition to their long-range signalling properties. Single ions, such as synaptically-released zinc, are also considered neurotransmitters by some. IVE GOT FAR TO MUCH SPARE TIME !!
fatty acids are indeed the endogenous cannabinoids. they are name:
-anandamide
-2-arachidonylglycerol
