Which of the statements about neurotransmitters given below is incorrect? а. Orexin-producing cells in the locus querulous of the pons activate many different areas of the brain including the cerebral cortex, hippocampus, thalamus, cerebellum, and the pons and medulla as well. b. Blocking acetylcholine appears to reduce arousal levels, while procedures designed to increase acetylcholine production increase signs of arousal. Acetylcholine increases the general arousal of the cortex С. Research has shown that Seratonin cells are most active during waking and decrease during sleep. In addition, serotonin seems to facilitate automatic behaviors such as chewing, pacing, or grooming.
