> How does a brain break down neurotransmitters? I thought they were just the chemicals the ones we know of in the brain and that usually we boost them. Why break them down? I just don't understand Thands Phillipa

The continuous synthesis and break-down of neurotransmitters provides for a dynamic regulation of their concentrations. MAO and COMT help to prevent neurotransmitter excess through catabolism.
