Study Notes
- Serotonin is an inhibitory neurotransmitter that plays a role in mood, emotion, appetite, digestion, and is a precursor to melatonin for sleep. It helps balance out excessive excitatory effects.
- GABA is the primary inhibitory neurotransmitter regulating anxiety, vision, and motor control. Low levels can lead to irritability and anxiety.
- Glutamate is the most abundant excitatory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system, affecting cognitive functions, memory, and learning.
- The brain is specialized in different regions for specific functions, and disruptions in these regions lead to related symptoms.
- The central nervous system is comprised of neurons and supporting glial cells like astrocytes, microglia, and oligodendrocytes.
- Neurological disorders can be caused by genetic factors, environmental factors, infections, or traumatic injuries, with over 600 known conditions falling into four main categories.
- Mental health conditions like depression, anxiety, personality disorders, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia can cause distress or impairment in personal functioning.
