Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter in the central and peripheral nervous systems that affects plasticity, arousal, and reward.

Adrenergic Neurons and Receptors

Adrenergic receptors are molecules that bind catecholamines. Their activation leads to overall stimulatory and sympathomimetic responses.
