'''Epinephrine''' is produced by the adrenal glands. It is primarily involved in an overall activation of the sympathetic nervous system and is involved in the management of stress. '''Norepinephrine''' is also produced by adrenal glands and is involved in the initiation and maintainence of conciousness within the sympathetic nervous system. '''Dopamine''' is involved in motivation as well as love and addiction. '''Serotonin''' is involved in emotions, conciousness, sleep and thermoregulation.
