What else can I help you with?
Which of the following neurotransmitter is a catecholamine?
Dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine are catecholamines.
What is the neurotransmitter that drugs increase that is responsible for pleasurable feelings?
Dopamine is the neurotransmitter that drugs increase, leading to pleasurable feelings. It plays a key role in the brain's reward system and is associated with motivation, reinforcement, and pleasure.
What is the process of a neurotransmitter being absorbed into the axon terminal?
When an action potential reaches the axon terminal, it triggers the opening of voltage-gated calcium channels. Calcium ions enter the axon terminal, leading to the fusion of neurotransmitter-containing vesicles with the synaptic membrane. The neurotransmitter is then released into the synaptic cleft where it can bind to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron.
What neurotransmitter makes you feel happy?
The neurotransmitter that makes you feel happy is serotonin. It is known for its role in regulating mood, emotions, and overall sense of well-being. Imbalances in serotonin levels have been linked to conditions such as depression and anxiety.
Which neurotransmitter helps control aggression and eating?
GABA
If a neurotransmitter depolarizes the postsynaptic membrane it is referred to as?
Excitatory neurotransmitter.
What is the most common excitatory neurotransmitter in the brain?
Glutamate
What causes the receiving cell the fire?
Excitatory neurotransmitter
Is dopamine an Inhibitory transmitter?
No, dopamine is not an inhibitory neurotransmitter. It is a type of monoamine neurotransmitter that acts as both an excitatory and modulatory neurotransmitter in the brain.
What is an excitatory neurotransmitter secreted by motor neurons innervating skeletal muscles?
acetylcholine
What determines whether the response of a receiving neuron is excitatory or inhibitory?
The type of neurotransmitter.
What would happen if the re-uptake of a stimulatory neurotransmitter was blocked?
The action of the excitatory neurotransmitter will increase, since its concentration in the synapse will rise.
Is dopamine a neurotransmitter?
Yes, Dopamine is an excitatory neurotransmitter. It is important in motivation and pleasure perception in humans.
What is neurotransmitter tone?
Tone denotes the concentration of neurotransmitter within a given region of the nervous system. A lot of glutamate indicates a high excitatory, glutamatergic tone.
What determines whether a neurotransmitter will have an inhibitory excitatory effect?
How a neurotransmitter interacts with the receptors determines its effects. They activate receptors to perform specific functions in the body.the type of receptor
Which neurotransmitter is responsible for the excitatory phase of muscle contraction a. dopamine b. serotonin c. GABA d. none of the above?
None of the above. The neurotransmitter responsible for the excitatory phase of muscle contraction is acetylcholine. It is released from motor neurons at the neuromuscular junction to stimulate muscle fibers.
What is the most common neurotransmitter in the human body?
The most common neurotransmitter in the human body is glutamate. It is an excitatory neurotransmitter that plays a key role in learning and memory.
