I have so much more, but
Serotonin- sleep, mood, flow of thought (with out it you would have OCD which means that you would go crazy, and have tourching thoughts) regulates thoughts,
Dopamine- this one is a big one when it comes to rewards, such as motivation, it is released when amphetamines are taken, causes you to want to work, be motivated, creative, also is a pleasure chemical, sexual, everyday things, with out dopamine there would be really fun in your life, too much dopamine will make you crazy as in schizophrenia, thats why schziophrenic people have to take antipsychotics to lower dopamine, thinking paranoia, crazy things, anyways, but people with moderate dopamine activity, are usally ambitious, motivated, goal oriented, thats what happens when sometimes if you take amphetamiens you feel great.
Norepheniphrine- this is teh alertness chemical, that keeps you attention at alert, and also stimuluating.
thats about all i can type
But thats a small summery of it.
There is also others too glumate, NADH, i will have to talk about those later..
But thanks for asking.
