What primary neurotransmitters are involved in schizophrenia?
The primary neurotransmitters involved in schizophrenia are dopamine and glutamate. Excess dopamine activity is thought to contribute to positive symptoms like hallucinations and delusions, while abnormalities in glutamate may lead to cognitive deficits and negative symptoms. Other neurotransmitters like serotonin and GABA are also implicated in the disorder.
Is it possible to live without serotonin?
no
Do hormones respond to changes in thoughts and feelings?
Although brain chemical imbalances that cause depression are complex, researchers believe that a few main hormones are responsible for promoting feelings of well being. These hormones are norepinephrine, dopamine and serotonin. Another name for these hormones is monoamine transporters; that is they carry important messages along the neural pathway in the brain. Where an imbalance of these hormones occurs, a mood, energy or cognitive problem results. This is why these hormones are closely associated with depression. Norepinephrine Norepinephrine is produced by the adrenal glands and nerve cells to help us maintain energy and activity. Norepinephrine is also called noradrenalin and behaves similar to adrenalin, in that it is released in reaction to anger or emergency. As with serotonin related antidepressants, norepinephrine related medications do not increase levels of norepinephrine, but attempt to help the sympathetic nervous system to process it more efficiently. Dopamine Dopamine is associated with euphoria and our desire or motivation. Dopamine is also connected with the information pathway in the brain. A dopamine disorder or imbalance can cause memory and cognitive loss as well as difficulty with problem solving. Serotonin Serotonin may help us feel energetic, calm and assured. Most mood problems are associated with serotonin imbalances. Because the vast majority of depression sufferers may have low levels of serotonin, and because most medications seek to increase serotonin levels, serotonin is discussed here in more detail. Low levels of serotonin not only affect mood, but the ability to cope with strong emotions. Low serotonin may also inhibit sensitivity to possible consequences, which may explain why aggression, impulsive behavior and suicide are prolific in people with low serotonin levels. we are all subject to these hormones regardless of age.
Is Vyvanse a SSRI?
No. Vyvanse is the brand name for lisexamfetamine which is a prodrug of amphetamine. Vyvanse is created in a way that it is not possible to inject or snort the drug to produce a high which makes it less abusable. Amphetamine works on norepinephrine and dopamine receptors, while SSRI's work on serotonin.
Is it possible to have and adrenaline rush like Edward Cullen?
I believe so, yeah. Not the kind of adrenaline rush that makes you stop a car though.
Why do I get emotional and frustrated after sex even though my boyfriend is amazing and I am satisfied with the sex?
Sex is a very hormonal activity. Arousal causes high levels of testosterone and estrogen to be released into the bloodstream, and the act itself releases another cocktail of chemicals, including adrenaline and dopamine.It's possible that your body is overreacting to the drop in serotonin and/or dopamine levels after your climax, similar to the way a diabetic responds to low blood sugar, or a drug addict to withdrawal. You may want to consult with your doctor about this, as she or he may be able to refer you to a neurologist or other specialist who might be better able to answer your question.
What does marwawant to do to the brain?
First of all, Marijuana is an hallucinogen. Most hallucinogens don't get you addicted to it because they do not affect as much your reward-system (based on dopamine) which will reinforce you taking the drug. However, it is possible to become addicted to marijuana. Marijuana will primarily affect the serotonin substance in your brain which will impair your judgment and at some point give you hallucinations
How do you adjust mood effectively?
Exercise is a great way to boost your mood. It increases the levels of endorphins (our feel good hormone) in our brains. Exercise also releases adrenaline, serotonin and dopamine; which together will make you feel good. It doesn't have to be particularly strenuous exercise; a brisk walk will be effective. Proper sleep is important for regulating your moods. Drugs can alter your mood. So it is best to be mindful of this as a possible cause of mood disturbance. If your moods are low in the winter, this could be related to shorter days with less light. Some people use specific light boxes to sit in front of to help lift their mood.
What are the Possible reasons for the increase in dopamine?
There are many things which can cause a dopamine increase in the body, such as: - Biological disposition and sensitivity to dopamine - Heightened stress and anxiety - Medication (such as amphetamines) - Certain foods and drinks - Physical in-health (Parkinson's Disease has been been partially linked) - Mental in-health (Schizophrenia has only been partially linked) - Drug abuse (such as taking Cocaine) Further research is suggested to further understand what can trigger increases in dopamine. The list above is only a general and non-exhaustive list.

What can stem cells help to cure?
Nobody knows for certain, but it is possible that it might be used to treat or cure a variety of diseases where specific types of cells are missing (either because they were never there, they died out, an autoimmune disorder killed them off, etc.). A few of these possibilities are:Parkinson's - caused by the loss of dopamine producing cells in the substantia nigra in the brainDiabetes (type I) - caused by the death of insulin producing cells in the Islets of Langerhans in the pancreas
