Question | Answer |
Acetylcholine: Excitatory or Inhibitory? | Excitatory |
Dopamine: Excitatory or Inhibitory? | Inhibitory |
Serotonin: Excitatory or Inhibitory? | Inhibitory |
Norepinephrine: Excitatory or Inhibitory? | Excitatory |
GABA: Excitatory or Inhibitory? | Inhibitory |
Glutamate: Excitatory or Inhibitory? | Excitatory |
Substance P: Excitatory or Inhibitory? | Excitatory |
Endorphins: Excitatory or Inhibitory? | Inhibitory |
Acetylcholine: Function? | muscle action (contraction in heart), learning, memory |
Dopamine: Function? | influence movement, learning, attention, emotion (pleasurable sensations) |
Serotonin: Function? | affects mood, hunger, sleep, arousal |
Norepinephrine: Function? | alertness and arousal |
Glutamate: Function? | involved in memory, counterpart to GABA |
Endorphins: Function? | response to pain and vigorous excercise, body's natural painkillers |
Substance P: Function? | Works in opposition to endorphins to regular pain |
Acetylcholine: Excess/Undersupply | over stimulation of muscles (spasms)/Alzheimer's |
Dopamine: Excess/Undersupply | Schizophrenia/Parkinson's |
Serotonin: Excess/Undersupply | seen in autism/depression |
Norepinephrine: Excess/Undersupply | anxiety/depress mood |
GABA: Excess/Undersupply | sleep issues/seizures, tremors, insomnia |
Glutamate: Excess/Undersupply | overstimulate brain (migraines or seizures)/ N.A. |
Endorphins: Excess/Undersupply | on edge (fight or flight for small events)/body pain |
Substance P: Excess/Undersupply | sleep interference, anxiety/body cannot feel pain |
Acetylcholine: Substances that Affect the Actions of the Neurotransmitter | nicotine, blakw widow spider venom, botulism toxin, curare, atropine |
Dopamine: Substances that Affect the Actions of the Neurotransmitter | cocaine, amphetamine, methylphenidate (ritalin), alcohol |
Seratonin: Substances that Affect the Actions of the Neurotransmitter | fluxetine (prozac), hallucinogenics |
Norepinephrine: Substances that Affect the Actions of the Neurotransmitter | tricyclic antidepressants, beta blockers |
GABA: Substances that Affect the Actions of the Neurotransmitter | barbituates, minor tranquilizers (valium), alcohol |
Endorphins: Substances that Affect the Actions of the Neurotransmitter | opiates (opium, heroin, morphine, methadone) |
Substance P: Substances that Affect the Actions of the Neurotransmitter | pain management drugs |
Which drugs increase the number of impulses? | nicotine, alcohol, opiates (increased neurotransmitter release) |
Which drugs release the neurotransmitter from vesicles with our without impulses? | amphetamines, methamphetamines (increased neurotransmitter release) |
Which drugs release more neurotransmitter in response to an impulse? | nicotine (increased neurotransmitter release) |
Which drugs block reuptake? | cocaine, amphetamine (more neurotransmitter present in synaptic cleft) |
which drugs block receptors with another molecule? | LSD, caffeine (no change in amount of neurotransmitter released, or neurotransmitter cannot bind to is receptor of post-synaptic neuron) |
