Document Summary
Acetylcholine: first neurotransmitters discovered, one of two major transmitters in peripheral nervous system, ach counter epi, sometimes ach levels are too high and get a drop in hr rather than a rise, parasympathetic overdrive, fainting under stressful situations. If animals or humans learn things, this learning can be disrupted by blocking bdnf. If an event is negative, you may have a good memory of it because there is a strong. If someone insignificant is met, you may not get enough bdnf to make the memory: a stronger fix is present when something is salient. Ptsd: an illness due to not forgetting. If there is a big enough stress, the bdnf levels crash. Why do we need this if bdnf is already doing its job. Growth factor: causes cells containing oxygen to grow. Uses this as a adjunct treatment: second treatment given along with the first.
