1) Acetylcholine (Ach)
-excitatory 
-controls movement, arousal, attention, and memory, 
-too much: spasms
-too little: paralysis 

2) Dopamine 
-inhibitory or excitatory (depends on which neuron its in)
-controls emotions and pleasure (involuntary)
-too much: schizophrenia
-too little: parkinson's 

3)Seratonin 
-inhibitory
-controls activity levels, sleep, mood, and eating
-too much: euphoria, muscle twitching 
-too little: sleeplessness, depression 
-SSRI  
    -Prozac

4) Norepinephrine
-excitatory
-controls arousal wakefulness, learning, and memory, 
-too much: arousal and anxiety
-too little: memory impairment, depression?  

5) Edorphines
-inhibitory 
-inhibits pain message 
-too much: no pain
-too little increase in pain 

6) GABA (gamma amino-butyric acid)
-inhibits neurons from firing 
-increases sleep and relaxation 
-too much: shortness or breath 
-too little: anxiety, seizures
 
when a neuron fires it depolarizes a cell, when a neuron is waiting to fire a neuron is polarized ]]> 2016-09-20 14:21:21 UTC https://padlet.com/ishapar5630/j1vrzsn1rnoy/wish/125090056 ishapar5630 https://padlet.com/ishapar5630/j1vrzsn1rnoy/wish/125096550 Agonist Molecule: mimics a neurotransmitter, fitting into the receptor sites and exciting the site

The corpus callosum. It helps connect the two hemispheres of the brain.

Explain the opposition that occurs between the brain and the body. The connection between the two hemispheres allows a verbal account of visual recognition. Also the hemispheres control the opposite side of the body.
