chemicals
Sympathetic-nervous-system postganglionic aminergic neurons synthesize and release noradrenaline. In sympathetic autonomic ganglia, presynaptic cholinergic fibers excite acetylcholine neurons and LHRH-like-peptide neurons. LHRH-like-peptide diffuses several micrometers to make slow excitatory postsynaptic potential (EPSP).
