Commonly Studied Neurotransmitters and Their Functions

front 1

Acetylcholine (ACh) function

back 1

enables muscle action, learning, and memory. malfunction: with Alzheimer’s disease, ACh-producing neurons deteriorate.

front 2

Dopamine function

back 2

influences movement, learning, attention, and emotion. malfunction: oversupply linked to schizophrenia; undersupply linked to tremors and decreased mobility in Parkinson’s disease.

front 3

Serotonin function

back 3

affects mood, hunger, sleep, and arousal. malfunction: undersupply linked to depression; some drugs that raise serotonin levels are used to treat depression.

front 4

Norepinephrine function

back 4

helps control alertness and arousal. malfunction: undersupply can depress mood.

front 5

GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) function

back 5

a major inhibitory neurotransmitter. malfunction: undersupply linked to seizures, tremors, and insomnia.

front 6

Glutamate function

back 6

a major excitatory neurotransmitter; involved in memory. malfunction: oversupply can overstimulate the brain, producing migraines or seizures.

front 7

Endorphins function

back 7

neurotransmitters that influence the perception of pain or pleasure. malfunction: oversupply with opioid drugs can suppress the body’s natural endorphin supply.

front 8

Substance P function
