Also if you want to read a book, you can take a look at The Human Brain Book.

Start here.

If you are looking for research papers, you can try this. There a few free papers. I would recommend logging in to your local library, or college if you are registered, and searching for research papers on topics you are interested in. Just pick a neurotransmitter, a drug, and a brain function. You will learn a lot that way.

I haven't read this but it does look very neat:
The Human Brain Book. Any intro textbook to neuropsychology will describe the brain and its components and should delve heavily into neurotransmitters.

Have fun! It's very interesting stuff. The more you start reading about this, the more you realize how little we actually know and how oversimplified many common explanations you hear about are.

Best place to start is:
http://www.amazon.com/Human-Brain-Book-Rita-Carter/dp/0756654416/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1313985947&sr=8-2

All picture based and a lot is covered. Generally a cool book even if you know a bit about the brain.
