it deals with memory and visceral and motor responses to emotion
This neurotransmitter is responsible for the "reward" properties of electrical stimulation of the midbrain or limbic system?
The limbic system
The limbic system is largely responsible for emotion.

This will be an oversimplification of the matter (and this is an understatement), but the limbic system essentially helps regulate the endocrine system and the vegetative (autonomic) nervous system; it receives olfactory input, and is also responsible for our emotions, and memory.
The brain mechanism responsible for this condition lies in the limbic system -- especially in the amygdala.
The oldest brain region is the brainstem, responsible for basic survival functions. The limbic system, involved in emotions and memory, developed next. The newest brain region is the neocortex, responsible for complex thinking and decision-making.
The brainstem is to arousal as the limbic system is to emotion.
The amygdala is the part of the limbic system responsible for regulating emotions such as fear and rage. It plays a key role in processing emotional responses and in the formation of emotional memories.
The hippocampus is part of the limbic system and plays a crucial role in memory formation and storage. The reticular formation is located in the brainstem and is responsible for regulating wakefulness, alertness, and controlling the sleep-wake cycle.
