Neurotransmitters

Front 1

Classical Neurotransmitter
Acetylcholine (ACH)

Back 1

Most Common. Voluntary movement, memory, cognition. Low levels are found in Alzheimer's Disease.

Front 2

Classical Neurotransmitters
Catecholamines

Back 2

Norepinephrine (noradrenaline)
Dopamine
Epinephrine (adrenaline)

Front 3

Dopamine Hypothesis

Back 3

Schizophrenia caused by excessive dopamine

Front 4

Acetylcholine (ACh) is

Back 4

involved in the regulation of the parasympathetic nervous system, voluntary movement, and memory. With regard to memory, declines associated with both normal aging and Alzheimer's disease are believed to be related to deterioration of neurons that secrete ACh, especially in the hippocampus

Front 5

Dopamine is

Back 5

involved in voluntary movement. a deterioration of neurons that secrete dopamine contributes to movement disorders such as Parkinson's disease and Huntington's chorea. also linked to Tourette's Disorder, due to the effectiveness of dopamine-blocking drugs - such as haloperidol and pimozine - for reducing its symptoms. Abnormalities in dopamine are also involved in several mental disorders including mania, depression, and schizophrenia

Front 6

Serotonin

Back 6

body temperature, hunger and thirst, sexual behavior, aggression, arousal, and sleep. plays an important role in depression, mania, schizophrenia, OCD, eating disorders, and migraine headaches

Front 7

GABA is

Back 7

an inhibitory neurotransmitter involved in falling asleep and anxiety. barbiturates increase the activity of GABA. Degeneration of GABA-secreting cells in the substantia nigra, basal ganglia, and cortex has been linked to Huntington's chorea

Front 8

Acetylcholine (ACh) is

Back 8

involved in the regulation of the parasympathetic nervous system, voluntary movement, and memory. memory declines associated with both normal aging and Alzheimer's disease are believed to be related to deterioration of neurons that secrete ACh, especially in the hippocampus

Front 9

Dopamine is

Back 9

involved in voluntary movement, and a deterioration of neurons that secrete dopamine contributes to movement disorders such as Parkinson's disease and Huntington's chorea. It has also been linked to Tourette's Disorder, with evidence for this association being provided by the effectiveness of dopamine-blocking drugs - such as haloperidol and pimozine - for reducing its symptoms. Abnormalities in dopamine are also involved in several mental disorders including mania, depression, and schizophrenia

Front 10

Serotonin

Back 10

mediates a number of functions including body temperature, hunger and thirst, sexual behavior, aggression, arousal, and sleep. In terms of disorders, it plays an important role in depression, mania, schizophrenia, OCD, eating disorders, and migraine headaches

Front 11

GABA is

Back 11

an inhibitory neurotransmitter that is involved in falling asleep and anxiety (the barbiturates exert their effects by increasing the activity of GABA). Degeneration of GABA-secreting cells in the substantia nigra, basal ganglia, and cortex has been linked to Huntington's chorea

Front 12

Acetylcholine

Back 12

parasympthetic nervous system, voluntary movement, memory

Front 13

dopamine

Back 13

vountary movement, parkinson's disease, huntington's, mania, depression, schizophrenia

Front 14

norepinephrine

Back 14

fight or flight reaction, mania, depression, schizophrenia, panic attacks

Front 15

serotonin

Back 15

body temperature, hunger, thirst, sexual behavior, sleep, mania, depression, schizophrenia, OCD

Front 16
