Which neurotransmitter is typically reduced in someone suffering and depression, and therefore is a primary target of antidepressants? serotonin, acetylcholine, dopamine, or epinephanephrine.
00:14
Okay, so we'll start the answer.
00:15
The answer is serotonin.
00:18
Now i'll come back to it, after rolling out, acetylcholine and epinephrine.
00:22
So acetylcholine, definitely not the answer here.
00:26
The primary purpose of acetylcholine is in the neuromuscular.
00:30
Junction, the nmj.
00:34
So it's secreted by a motor neuron onto the muscle fibre and it causes the muscle fiber to contract.
00:41
Epinephrine is associated mostly with the sympathetic nervous system, which causes the fight or flight response.
00:57
So we've ruled out those and we're left with serotonin and dopamine.
01:01
Both of these are found in brain and they are at least partially related to depression...
