'''Amino acid glutamate''' is the most common excitatory SMT in the [[Nervous_and_Special_Senses_-_Anatomy_%26_Physiology#Central_Nervous_System_.28CNS.29|central nervous system]] whilst '''gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)''' is the most common inhibitory SMT. Other amino acid SMTs include '''aspartate''' and '''glycine'''.
