In the slides, we focus on norepinephrine, but really, there are many neurotransmitters that can get released like: ⁠ ⁠ šŸ‘‰Acetylcholine (ACh): Involved in muscle control, learning, and memory.⁠ ⁠ šŸ‘‰Glutamate: The most abundant excitatory neurotransmitter in the brain, responsible for promoting neural activity.⁠ ⁠ šŸ‘‰Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA): The primary inhibitory neurotransmitter that helps reduce neural activity and maintain balance.⁠ ⁠ šŸ‘‰Dopamine: Regulates mood, pleasure, and reward pathways, involved in motivation and addiction.⁠ ⁠ šŸ‘‰Serotonin: Plays a role in mood regulation, sleep, and appetite.⁠ ⁠ šŸ‘‰Norepinephrine (noradrenaline): Involved in the "fight or flight" response and arousal.⁠ ⁠ šŸ‘‰Epinephrine (adrenaline): Acts similarly to norepinephrine, involved in the stress response.⁠ ⁠ šŸ‘‰Histamine: Plays a role in the immune system and also acts as a neurotransmit...
