This Neurotransmitter plays a vital role in reward and movement regulation in the brain.
In the reward pathway, the production of it takes place in the ventral tegmental area
(VTA).
A. Serotonin
B. Dopamine
C. Norepinephrine
D. Glutamate - ANSWER-B. Dopamine
This Neurotransmitter carries messages between nerve cells in the brain and
throughout your body. Plays a key role in such body functions as mood, sleep,
digestion, nausea, wound healing, bone health, blood clotting and sexual desire.
A. Serotonin
B. Dopamine
C. Norepinephrine
D. Glutamate - ANSWER-A. Serotonin
This Neurotransmitter increases arousal and alertness, promotes vigilance, enhances
the formation and retrieval of memory, and focuses attention; it also increases
restlessness and anxiety.
A. Serotonin
B. Dopamine
C. Norepinephrine
D. Glutamate - ANSWER-C. Norepinephrine
This Neurotransmitter is an excitatory neurotransmitter with several types of receptors
found throughout the central nervous system, and its metabolism is important to
maintaining optimal levels within the extracellular space. As such, it is important to
memory, cognition, and mood regulation.
