To transmit or not to transmit
The Learning & Muscle Control Neurotransmitter
What is Acetycholine?
This type of foods help boost Acetycholine.
What are Choline-Rich Foods?
Increases dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin levels by blocking reuptake.
What are stimulants?
Dopamine release enhances pleasure and motivation, Serotonin influences mood and norepinephrine increases the heart rate.
What are Stimulants?
A complex network that coordinates all the body's activities.
What is the nervous system?
When this neurotransmitter is low and imbalanced is can cause high anxiety, seizures, and insominia.
What is GABA (Gamma-aminobutyric Acid)?
Consuming this type of food boosts the production of dopamine.
What are high-protein foods?
Anandamide is triggered when the CB1 and CB2 receptors are activated.
What is Cannabis?
Reduces glutamate and GABA release which alters brain communication.
What is Cannabis?
The brain's control center which interprets sensory information and issues commands.
What is the Central Nervous System?
This neurotransmitter provides function for mood, circadian rhythm, appetite control, pain reception, and stability for social and emotional behavior.
What is Serotonin?
Eating chili peppers, lean meats, and 70%+ dark chocolate will boost this neurotransmitter.
What is Endorphins?
Modulates 5-HT2A and glutamate pathways
What are Hallucinogens (Psychedelics)?
Increased dopamine release creating brief euphoria and reduces oxygen supply to neurons.
What are Inhalants/Solvents?
This system further divides into the Sympathetic and Parasympathetic nervous system.
What is the Autonomic Nervous System?
The alertness & stress neurotransmitter.
What is Norepinephrine?
Antioxidant-rich fruits & vegetables boosts this neurotransmitter.
What is norepinephrine?
Enhance the activity of GABA-A receptors, increasing chloride ion influx, leading to hyperpolarization and inhibition of neuronal firing.
What are Depressants?
Reduces excitatory neurotransmitters activity in pain pathways
What are Opioids/Opiates?
supports and protects neurons by providing nutrients, removing waste, and maintaining homeostasis.
What are Glial Cells?
Produced in the hypothalamus and released from the posterior pituitary gland.
What is Oxytocin?
GABA receptors increases when we eat dark chocolate, avocados, and dark leafy greens.
Blocks NMDA receptors and disrupts glutamate signaling.
What are Dissociative Drugs?
Increases serotonin activity, creating altered states of consciousness and affects glutamate, leading to sensory distortions.
What are Hallucinogens?
controls voluntary movements and relays sensory information from activities, such as, walking.
What is the Somatic Nervous System?
