LOVEEEEEEEE (Neurotransmitters (Functions and Malfunctions (GABA…

- - - - Functions a major inhibitor (stabilizer)
        Malfunctions Not enough can lead to seizures, insomnia, and tremors
    - - Function AKA Adreneline, Helps control alertness and arousal
        Malfunctions Undersupply can suppress mood
    - - Functions Enables muscle action, learning, and memory
        Malfunctions When they deteriorate it causes alzheimer's disease
    - - Function Affects mood, hunger, sleep, and arousal
        Malfunction Undersupply is linked to depression
    - - Function Influences movement, learning, attention, and emotions
        Malfunction Too much dopamine is linked to schizophrenia, while not enough dopamine causes parkinsons disease
        -Its home is in the Hippothalamus, it is the main cause of addiction, and is the chemical involved in the reward system
    - - Function Excitement!! Helps memory and learning processes
        Malfunction Oversupply can cause migraines and seizures due to an overstimulation in the brain. In MSG foods. Can cause brain deterioration
    - - "Happy hormones"
        Too much can cause sleep
- - - - Parasympathetic

      - Pons
        
        Works with the Cerebellum for movement
        Regulates sleep and dreaming,
        is a "bridge" from real life to dreams
      - Cerebellum
        
        Little brain
        Coordinates movement and complex motor tasks
