Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Addictive behaviors may be influenced by elevated levels of dopamine in the nucleus accumbens of the brain. Norepinephrine and serotonin are two neurotransmitters that affect mood/depression. Levodopa affects movement. The basal ganglia are parts of the brain that are abnormal in patients with Parkinson's disease. The occipital lobe of the brain processes visual data. The parietal lobes are the two large lobes of the brain fed by the middle cerebral arteries (and others); they have many functions, including the control of body movements on the contralateral side of the body.
