Norepinephrine
- Fight or Flight

-
Dopamine
Regulation of movements/coordination, emotions, voluntary decision making, and inhibits release of prolactic
-
Serotonin
Sleep, arousal, libido, appetite, mood, aggression, and pain.
-
Histamine
Within CNS is unclear
-
-
GABA
Interrupts progression of the electrical impulse at synaptic junction producing slowdown of body activity
-
Glycine
Involved in recurrent inhibition of motor neurons within the spinal cord and is possibly involved in the regulation of spinal and brainstem reflexes.
-
Glutamate
Relay of sensory information and in the regulation of various motor and spina reflexes.
