1. Neurotransmitter and Function of SUBSTANTIA NIGRA: Dopamine; Initiates
movement, anticipation of pleasure, and rewards circuitry/drugs of abuse
2. Neurotransmitter and Function of RETICULAR FORMATION: Acetylcholine
(norepi-
nephrine); Engine for consciouness and comas, controls movement and
muscle tone, facilitates autonomic functions, allows for respiration, controls,
movement, respirator and cardiovascular activity

Control of atten-
1/7
, tion and stress responses, stimulates wakefulness and attention, controls
vasoconstriction, rises BP, acute sympathetic response (fight or flight),
facilitates chronic stress dysregulation
6. What disease is Locus Ceruleus associated with?: PTSD
7. Neurotransmitter and Function of RAPHE NUCLEI: Serotonin; Has
serotogenic projections to brain and spinal cord, has psychedelic plasticity,
modulates pain
8. What disorders is raphe nuclei associated with?: SSRI's and psychiatric
disorders
9. What does Raphe Nuclei (and what part of it) play a role in?: Descending
pain control
(periaqueductal gray of raphe nuclei)
10. The cerebellum is attached to the dorsal surface of the brainstem
through-
: CEREBELLAR PEDUNCLES (superior, middle, inferior)
11. T/F: The brainstem contains v few nuclei: FALSE - it contains MANY nuclei
