Procedural/Skills memory (Nondeclarative) is stored in _____, cerebellum and motor cortex

In the indirect basal ganglia pathway, the neurons of the subthalamic nucleus lead to _____ of neurons of the globus pallidus internus

The _____ of the reticular formation is responsible for synthesis of serotonin

Lesions to CN _____ result in loss of the motor limb of the gag reflex

The _____nergic neurons in anterior hypothalamus and adjacent forebrain regions, on stimulation, induce sleep.

The _____ is responsible for synthesis of the neurotransmitter GABA
