Lecture 6: Developmental Profile of Neuromodulators Flashcards
1
Q
acetylcholine
Dopamine
noradrenaline
serotonin
A
nucleus basalis and ponto-mesencephalic
VTA and substantia nigra
locus coeruleus
raphe nucleus
2
Q
neuromodulators vs neurotransmitters
A
Neuromodulators produce slower and longer responses. They are also not as strong
neurotransmitters produce faster responses on the membrane voltage
3
Q
D1 and D5
A
excitatory actions
4
Q
D2, D3, and D4
A
inhibitory action
5
Q
Nicotinic receptors
A
respond to the agonist nicotine, an alkaloid found in the tobacco plant
6
Q
muscarinic receptors
A
respond to muscarine, an alkaloid first isolated from fly agaric mushrooms
