Question
Answer
Neurotransmitter   chemical released from the terminal end of one neuron that diffuses across the synaptic cleft to the next neuron, binds to it, and either excites or inhibits that neuron  
🗑
2 types of acetylcholine receptors   nicotinic and muscarinic  
🗑
nicotinic receptors   found primarily in the brain  
🗑
muscarinic receptors   found primarily in the brain

🗑
nearly all abused drugs increase brain levels of which neurotrasmitter?   dopamine  
🗑
3 behaviors associated with low levels of serotonin   violence, depression, suicide  
🗑
GABA   a major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain  
🗑
Glutamate   a major excitatory neurotransmitter in the brain  
🗑
Adenosine: neurotransmitter or neuromodulator?   neuromodulator  
🗑
Adenosine: inhibitory or excitatory?   inhibitory  
🗑
Caffeine’s stimulant effect comes from inhibiting which inhibitory neuromodulator?   Adenosine  
🗑
Endorphins: neurotransmitters or neuromodulators?   neuromodulators  
🗑
Endorphins   regulate pain perception and emotion  
🗑
Anandamide   newly discovered neurotransmitter that binds to the same receptors that the cannibinoids in marijuana do

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
