18
Q

After a neurotransmitter is released, it is quickly drawn back from the synaptic cleft into the same neuron

A

reuptake

19
Q

s an excitatory transmitter that “turns on” many different neurons, leading to action

A

Glutamate

20
Q

inhibitory neurotransmitter. It is to inhibit (or regulate) the transmission of information and action potentials.

A

Gamma-aminobutyric acid, or GABA

21
Q

chemical brothers

A

Gamma-aminobutyric acid, or GABA
Glutamate

22
Q

reduce anxiety.

A

GABA

23
Q

minor tranquilizers, makes it easier for GABA molecules to attach themselves to the receptor

A

benzodiazepines

24
Q

Seems to reduce overall arousal somewhat and to temper our emotional responses

A

GABA

25
Q

have an anticonvulsant effect

A

minor tranquilizers

26
Q

5-hydroxytryptamine (5HT)

A

Serotonin

27
Q

5-hydroxytryptamine (5HT)

A

Serotonin

28
Q

is believed to influence a great deal of our behavior, particularly the way we process information.
regulates our behavior, moods, and thought processes.

A

SEROTONIN

29
Q

less inhibition and with instability, impulsivity, and the tendency to overreact to situations.

A

Extremely low activity levels of serotonin

30
Q

aggression, suicide, impulsive overeating,andexcessive sexual behavior

A

 Low serotonin activity

31
Q

what drugs affect the serotonin system

A

tricyclic antidepressants such as imipramine

32
Q

selective-serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs),

A

affects serotonin more directly than other drugs

33
Q

norepinephrine

A

neurotransmitter system in the monoamine class

34
Q

a catecholamine), is part of the endocrine system

A

norepinephrine, like epinephrine

35
Q

stimulate at least two groups (and probably several more) of receptors called alpha-adrenergic and beta-adrenergic receptors

A

norepinephrine

36
Q

norepinephrine circuits

A

hindbrain, an area that controls basic bodily functions such as respiration.
Another circuit appears to influence the emergency reactions or alarm responses

37
Q

Dopamine

A

catecholamine because of the similarity of its chemical structure to epinephrine and norepinephrine.
implicated cause of schizo, and addiction, depression, adhd

38
Q

block specific dopamine receptors

A

drug such as reserpine to lower dopamine activiity

39
Q

dopamine activity is…

A

exploratory, outgoing, pleasure-seeking behaviors

40
Q

serotonin activities

A

inhibition and constraint;

41
Q

what is the system dopamine switches on

A

locomotor system

42
Q

parkinsons disease

A

deficiencies in dopamine

43
Q

deterioration in motor behavior includes tremors, rigidity of muscles, and difficulty with judgment. L-dopa has been successful in reducing some of these motor disabilities.

A

Parkinson’s disease
