23
Q

Dopamine

A

-Fine muscle movement, integration of thoughts and emotions (pleasure and energy), motivation

Dopamine strives to have a 50:50 balance with acetylcholine

25
Q

Dopamine excess

A

Mania (symptoms include psychosis, hallucinations, aggression and anxiety)

26
Q

Dopamine insufficiency

A

Depression and Parkinson’s Disease

27
Q

Norepinephrine

A

-Converted from dopamine; excess dopamine=excess NE
-Causes changes in mood, attention & arousal/energy

28
Q

Norepinephrine excess

A

mania & anxiety

29
Q

Norepinephrine insufficiency

A

depression & anhedonia

30
Q

Serotonin

A

-Sleep, hunger, mood, pain perception, aggression, & sexual behavior

31
Q

Serotonin excess & insufficiency

A

-Excess= anxiety

A

-More prevalent in higher socioeconomic classes
-Individuals are over achievers compared to those with unipolar depression
-Creative writers & actors

36
Q

Stress response

A

-CNS receives information about the stressor, hypothalamus creates an integrated response, corticotropin releasing factor (CRF) goes to the SNS and anterior & posterior pituitary

37
Q

Norepinephrine + Stress response

A

-From peripheral nerve endings
-Increases BP, decreases digestion, dilates pupils & bronchioles

38
Q

Epinephrine + stress response

A

-From adrenal medulla
-Increases CO & glucose

39
Q

Cortisol + stress response

A

-From adrenal cortex
-Decreases inflammatory response
-Inhibits fibroblast proliferation and function
-Inhibits immunity (prone to sickness)

40
Q

Vasopressin (ADH) + Stress response

A

-Increases water retention
