Cholinergic refers to neurons or synapses that use the neurotransmitter acetylcholine to transmit signals in the nervous system. These neurons are involved in various functions such as muscle movement, memory, and attention.

Noradrenergic refers to neurons or synapses that use the neurotransmitter norepinephrine (also known as noradrenaline) to transmit signals in the nervous system. These neurons are involved in regulating arousal, attention, and stress responses.

Cholinergic

- Refers to neurons or synapses that use the neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACh) as their primary neurotransmitter.
- Cholinergic systems are involved in a wide range of functions, including muscle control, memory, and attention.

Noradrenergic

- Refers to neurons or synapses that use the neurotransmitter norepinephrine (NE) as their primary neurotransmitter.
- Noradrenergic systems are primarily involved in arousal, attention, and mood regulation. They also play a role in autonomic nervous system control (e.g., heart rate, blood pressure).
