The term "transmigration" is traditionally referring to the movement of souls after death into another body, or more generally, the process of moving from one place to another — there could be relevant psychological concepts or phenomena that loosely align with this idea in metaphorical or symbolic ways.
Transmigration of the soul refers to the Dionysiac-Orphic belief that because of some transgression, the soul is compelled to dwell in one earthly prison after another until it is purified. The transmigration may find the soul at various times in plants, animals, and humans as it seeks redemption.

In psychology, a transmitter typically refers to a neurotransmitter, which is a chemical substance that facilitates communication between neurons (nerve cells) in the brain and nervous system. Neurotransmitters play a critical role in regulating mood, cognition, emotions, and behaviour. Examples of major neurotransmitters include dopamine, serotonin, norepinephrine, and GABA. Imbalances or dysfunctions in neurotransmitter systems are often linked to mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, and schizophrenia.
