dopamine: function is motor control and acts as the motivational component of the Behavioral aspects. Receptors of dopamine are the G protein coupled receptors. Dopamine is metabotropic.

norepinephrine: this is also referred to as the noradrenaline which functions in the body for mobilising the brain as well as the body to carry out actions. This is lowest at the time of sleep and helps in the fight or flight response. Works on the alpha 1 and the alpha 2 adrenergic receptor. It is metabotropic.

glutamate: both inotropic and metabotropic. Synaptic receptors that are present on the neuronal cell membranes. Role in synaptic plasticity and in memory and learning.

GABA: both inotropic and metabotropic. GABA receptors, GABA A and GABA B. A is inotropic and B is metabotropic. Inhibition or reduction of neuron activity in the nerve cells.

acetylcholine: inotropic. Acetylcholine receptor which is a membrane protein. Function is to send signals to different cells.
