Glutamate (excitatory)

Most synaptic communication in
1 Reuptake 2 the brain is accomplished by two
neurotransmitters
3 Primary Motor Cortex Function 4 Sympathetic nervous system
Don't know?
,Terms in this set (76)
Reuptake When transporters located in the pre-synaptic
membrane transport the molecules of
neurotransmitter back into the cytoplasm
Most common method of termination of
postsynaptic potential
SSRIs block reuptake of serotonin, making more
of it available at the synaptic gap and increasing
serotonergic activity
neurogenesis The production of new neurons
myelin sheath covers the axon of some neurons and helps
speed neural impulses
, Terminal Button The bud at the end of a branch of an axon; forms
synapses with otherneurons; sends information to
those neurons via neurotransmitters
Sympathetic nervous system Division of the autonomic nervous system that
controls functions that accompany arousal and
expenditure of energy
Stimulates increased heart rate, rise in blood
sugar level, piloerection("goosebumps")
Adrenal medulla portion of the adrenal gland that secretes
epinephrine and norepinephrine
Parasympathetic Nervous System Division of the autonomic nervous system that
controls functions that occur during a relaxed
state; secretes acetylcholine
Supports activities involved with increases in the
body's supply of stored energy, such as
salivation, gastric and intestinal motility
Coronal or frontal section a slice through the brain parallel to the forehead
