This neurotransmitter affects mood, hunger and sleep and is linked to depression.
What is serotonin
100

This would happen if your spinal cord was damaged.

What is problems moving / paralysis?

This controls the hunger and thirst levels and other basic needs such as body temperature, and blood chemistry.
What is the hypothalamus
100
This area controls emotions, especially anger and fear.
What is the amygdala
100
This part of the brain is responsible for automatic survival functions.
What is the brainstem
200
This neurotransmitter controls alertness and arousal. It is also linked to depression.
What is norepinephrine
200

This would happen if the sensory nerve from your ear to your brain was damaged.

What is problems hearing / deafness?

200
These lobes control the sense of touch
What are parietal lobes.
200
This connects the two hemispheres, and is how messages pass between them.
What is the corpus callosum
200
This part of the brain controls impulses and decision making.
What are the frontal lobes.
300
This neurotransmitter is linked to movement, learning, attention and emotion. An excess of it can lead to Schizophrenia, while a shortage leads to Parkinson's disease.
What is dopamine
300

This would happen if the sensory nerve from your eye to your brain was damaged.

What is problems seeing / blindness?

300
These control hearing
What are Temporal lobes
300
This relays messages from the lower brain and cerebral cortex to other parts of the brain. It is sometimes called the brain's sensory switchboard.
What is the thalamus
300
This part of the brain controls voluntary movement and balance
What is the cerebellum.
400
This is a major inhibitory neurotransmitter. An oversupply of it can lead to migraines.
What is Glutamate

What is the cerebral cortex
500
This neurotransmitter is linked to muscle action, memory and acts as messenger between the motor neurons and skeletal muscles.
What is Acetycholine
500

This would happen if the motor nerves from your brain to your lungs was damaged.

What is problems breathing?

500
This controls arousal.
What is the reticular formation.
500
