Serotonin signalling

Serotonin (also known as 5-HT) is a neurotransmitter that is found throughout the body. High concentrations are found in the CNS, blood platelets, and certain cells in the gastrointestinal tract.

Dopamine signalling

Dopamine is involved in movement control, motivation, reward, and reinforcement; many addictive substances work by affecting dopaminergic neurons.

A motor pool of a muscle

A motor pool of a muscle is formed by a group of motor units innervating all the muscle fibres in that muscle. Motor units vary in size. Small motor units innervate fewer muscle fibres and control fine movements, e.g., in the eyes and fingers.
