Question | Answer |
---|---|
secreted in cortex and sensory pathways. most widely used excitatory NT. | Glutamate |
secreted by neurons in motor cortex, basal nuclei, motor to skeletal muscle, ANS. excitatory | Acetylcholine |
excitatory NT. secreted by neurons in brainstem, hypothalamus, and sympathetic system. | Norepinephrine |
most widely used inhibitory NT. secreted in cortex, basal nuclei, cerebellum, and spinal cord | GABA |
inhibitory. involved in motor control, behavior, prolactin secretion, sleep, learning. secreted in substantia nigra of brainstem to basal nuclei | Dopamine |
inhibitory. secreted in median raphe of brainstem and gut. inhibits spinal pain pathways, regulates hypothalamus, involved in mood and behavior | Serotonin |
inhibitory. intracellular functions, involved in memory and behavior, vasodilator, not stored in vesicles | Nitric oxide |
always inhibitory, secreted in spinal cord. increases Cl- conductance | Glycine |
