What part of the brain is thought to regulate the emotional response to odors?
The limbic system
Hormones responsible for fight or Flight?
Epinephrine (also known as adrenaline) and norepinephrine are the two major neurotransmitters involved in the fight or flight response. The main hormone involved in the stress response is cortisol.
Where are the 6 neurotransmitters located in the neurotransmitters?
Neurotransmitters are checmials in the brain that help promote brain health by participating in the process of sending signals to various parts of the brain to function appropriately. When neurotransmitters are not functioning appropriately, medication is often used such as Prozac or Paxil. Medication helps neurotransmitters function more adequately.There are six prominent or most commonly discussed neurotransmitters in the brain known as:Serotonin (very important chemical in the brain regulating depression and mood)Dopamine (a chemical that regulates movement)Noradrenalin (a chemical involved with memory and learning)Aceytlcholine (muscle movement)Adrenaline (fight-or-flight response from the nervous system)G.A.B.A. (stops the movement of nerve impulses)
What is emotional response?
An emotional response is your emotions responding to somethingExamples:When someone calls you a mean name your emotional response you feeling sad and hurt.When someone gives you a compliment you feel happy and flattered.When you see\hear\receive\give things you have an emotional response where it be good or bad.

What are neurotransmitters that affect a neuron's response to other neurotransmitters called?
These are typically known as neuromodulators; they can either change the rate at which a neurotransmitter is released, or alter the response to a certain neurotransmitters.
What is the presynaptic neuron release neurotransmitters in response to an influx of?
Sodium ions
What are characteristics of neurotransmitters?
Neurotransmitters are released in response to stimulation. They alter the physiology of the postsynaptic cell. They are synthesized by a presynaptic neuron. They bind to specific receptors on the postsynaptic cell.
What is deliberate planning?
Planning for non-crisis situations and in response to hypothetical situations
Why you perspire when it is hot?

The limbic system
How does a whale regulate internal temperature in response to heat and cold?
they have thick skin
Which of these is a natural response that animals use in certain situations?
Instinct
Can neurotransmitters cross the synaptic cleft?
Yes, neurotransmitters diffuse across the synaptic cleft to transmit a neural signal; the actual neural impulse(spike) occurs when the neuron fires in response to a sufficiency of signals received.
Hormones responsible for fight or Flight?
Epinephrine (also known as adrenaline) and norepinephrine are the two major neurotransmitters involved in the fight or flight response. The main hormone involved in the stress response is cortisol.
