Neuromodulators vs neurotransmitters? Metal to good discussion, fan to knowledgeable source

Answer 1

(no one on HippoCampus Psy is there)
So I'm looking at this question:
The neuromodulators acetylcholine, dopamine, and serotonin were mentioned as affecting specific areas in Dr. Sejnowski's video. Select the three...
>Acetylcholine affects focused learning and attention
>Dopamine signal in relation to unexpected reward
>Serotonin affects social life and risk-taking behavior

The oxford definition is from a book, "The Neurobiology of an Insect Brain."
