Dopamine (Nigrostriatal Pathway)

Origin: Substantia Nigra

Receptor: D1, D2, D3, D4, D5 metabotropic receptors

Function: movement generation & maintenance, Parkinsonism

Dopamine (Mesolimbic Pathway)

Origin: Ventral Tegmental Area

Receptor: D1, D2, D3, D4, D5 metabotropic receptors

Function: appetitive and aversive movement, cognitive control, learning

Acetylcholine

Origin: Basal Forebrain

Receptors: ionotropic Nicotinic receptors, metabotropic Muscarinic receptors

Function: memory, attention

Serotonin

Origin: Raphe Nuclei

Receptors: 5HT1 - 7, all are metabotropic but 3

Function: sleep, wakefulness, mood

Norepinephrine

Origin: Locus coeruleus

Receptors: alpha and beta metabotropic receptors

Function: energy, arousal, attention, mood
