As a neuroscientist with a focus on the biochemical aspects of the brain, I often get asked about how we can determine if there's a chemical imbalance within the brain. It's a complex question, but I'll do my best to explain the process in a way that's accessible to those without a background in neuroscience.

Neurotransmitter tests measure blood platelet levels of dopamine, noradrenalin, adrenalin, serotonin and acetycholine. These levels are a good indicator of levels found in the fluid in the brain (the cerebrospinal fluid -C CSF), thus indicating excesses, deficiencies and imbalances in neurotransmitters.Apr 9, 2013
