• Acetylcholine
• Endorphins
• Serotonin
• GABA

Which neurotransmitter is involved in the "Fight or Flight" response?

• Acetylcholine
• Endorphins
• Norepinephrine
• Serotonin

Which neurotransmitter inhibits brain activity?

• Acetylcholine
• GABA
• Endorphins
• Dopamine

Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that helps regulate:

• learning and memory
• pain and pleasure
• muscle movements
• sleep, moods/emotions

This neurotransmitter is most often associated with pleasure/reward sensations:

• Acetylcholine
• GABA
• Dopamine
• Serotonin

All of the following mimic the neurotransmitter GABA except

• Alcohol
• Valium
• Xanax
• Heroin

The release of this neurotransmitter is 100x more potent than any opiate (painkilling drug):

• Norepinephrine
• Serotonin
• GABA
• Endorphin

Prozac works to combat depression by keeping this neurotransmitter in the synapse longer:

• Serotonin
• Acetylcholine
• GABA
• Endorphins

Too much dopamine is linked with

• Alzheimers
• Schizophrenia
• Parkinsons
• Depression

Low levels of serotonin is linked to

• Depression
• Alzheimer's
