Advil
allergy medicines like benedryl will block the receptor sites for which NT?
histamine
involved in sleep, appetite, and body temperature
serotonin
zantac and tagament ( OTC anti-acid medications) affect this NT
histamine
inhibiting the enzyme that degrades this neurotransmitter helps with Alzheimer’s symptoms
acetylcholine
an excess of which neurotransmitter can lead to schizophrenic symptoms
dopamine
nicotine mimics this neurotransmitter thus enhancing mental alertness
acetylcholine
involved in the brain with short term memory
acetylcholine
neurotransmitter that is though to be involved with eating disorders and OCD
serotonin
patients with Parkinson’s disease have too little
dopamine
it is a dopamine modulator ( inhibits dopamine neurons) and reduces anxiety
