    1. Brainstem “Modulatory” Systems that Release Monoamines or Acetylcholine

    2. Four Major Systems of Interest: Classifying on the Basis of the Major Neurotransmitter of Each Noradrenergic: Norepinephrine (NE) is the neurotransmitter. The locus coeruleus synthesizes and distributes the most. Serotonergic: Serotonin (5-HT) is the neurotransmitter. Synthesized in a series of raphe nuclei. Dopaminergic: Dopamine (DA) is the neurotransmitter. Synthesized in the ventral tegmental area and the substantia nigra. Cholinergic: Acetylcholine (ACh) is the neurotransmitter. Synthesized in the laterodorsal and peduncular pontine tegmental nuclei
