Dopamine: emotions and pleasure, involuntary movements
Serotonin: activity levels, sleep, mood, eating - inhibitory
Norepinephrine: arousal, wakefulness, learning, memory - excitatory
Endorphin: inhibits pain - inhibitory
GABA: inhibits neurons from firing, increases sleep and relaxation 
Agonist: mimics a neurotransmitter (morphine mimics endorphin)
Antagonist: inhibit a neurotransmitter (block dopamine in schizophrenics]]> 2016-09-20 12:29:52 UTC https://padlet.com/meghanpal0347/2n46ykx81sih/wish/125037597 I can identify the different brain imaging techniques. meghanpal0347 https://padlet.com/meghanpal0347/2n46ykx81sih/wish/125369398 CT
