Summary Introduction
To determine:
The parts of forebrain which allow us to experience emotions and memories.
Introduction:
The emotions in humans will provoke changes in the electrical and chemical activity of the brain. When people fall in love, oxytocin will stimulate the release of dopamine by neurons in the midbrain that will send axons to several parts of the forebrain. In forebrain dopamine will contribute to the emotional attachment such as lack of fear and critical judgment of the loved ones and fond memories of times spent together. Some part of forebrain control these emotions.

Please provide a brief, but specific response. Answer as much as you can please!!!!!!! Thank you!!!!!!
Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are drugs that can alleviate symptoms of depression
by blocking the reuptake of serotonin (5-HT) from the synaptic cleft, thereby increasing the amount
of time that 5-HT remains active. Elevated levels of 5-HT within the synapse are associated with
feelings of well-being; conversely, low levels of 5-HT are correlated with depressive symptoms.
Recent studies have shown that SSRIs can also mediate their antidepressant effects by increasing
brain levels of certain cytokines, including interferon gamma (IFNY). IFNY directly induces the
expression of the protein p11 in neighboring neurons, which then interacts with 5-HTR4, a 5-HT
transmembrane receptor. Figures 1 and 2 provide information about this interaction.

Â Â Dual innervation is always present in all organs and glands; one branch enhances the function or secretion, while the other branch inhibits it.
