since meth causes neurotransmitters to overstimulate they in time down-regulate to compensate for the increased levels of dopamine being released due to the meth but over time they basically start to shut down from working harder than they are meant to and once a neurotransmitter shuts down it can never function again so meth basically kills neurotransmitters over time

Certain mental problems are thought to be caused by not having enough neurotransmitters. Why would a lack of neurotransmitters cause problems?
Neurotransmitters send signals from neuron to neuron
Neurotransmitters released by 1 nerve cell are received by?
Neurotransmitters released by 1 nerve cell are received by another neuron. The receptor of a postsynaptic neuron receives the neurotransmitters.
Do neurotransmitters always cause hyperpolarization of the postsynaptic membrane?
No, many neurotransmitters cause the postsynaptic membrane to be depolarized.
Are DNA and RNA neurotransmitters?
No. Neurotransmitters are located in the brain. DNA & RNA are related to cell information and replication.
Does cochlear hair cells produce neurotransmitters?
yes, they do produce neurotransmitters to send electrical impulses to the brain for sound sensed by them
Which neurotransmitters are affected by cocaine?
Dopamine.
What two brain neurotransmitters are affected by gambling?
Serotonin and Dopamine.
What neurotransmitters are affected by alcohol?
Alcohol increases the activity of Gaba receptors.
Does emsam help with meth withdrawal?
Emsam (selegiline HCL) can be helpful in some cases of methamphetamine withdrawal. Meth raises levels of the neurotransmitters dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin in the brain. When consumption ceases, levels of these neurotransmitters drop drastically, causing depression, lethargy, and other symptoms. Emsam is an MAOI, which is capable of raising levels of dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin. Emsam may take a long time to work, for some individuals more than 3 weeks.....however it can reduce cravings for meth and alleviate withdrawal symptoms.
What Neurotransmitters are implicated in depressive disorders?
There are many different neurotransmitters believed to be involved in mental ill-health. Dopamine is one neurotransmitter believed to be involved in Schizophrenia. Serotonin is another which is involved in Schizophrenia as well as OCD (this in no way suggests that Schizophrenia and OCD are connected).
What do neurotransmitters open?
Neurotransmitters act on synapses.
How is does meth effect emotions?
Methamphetamine can lead to increased aggression, anxiety, agitation, and mood swings by stimulating the release of dopamine in the brain. Over time, this can disrupt normal brain function, leading to emotional instability and unpredictable behavior. Additionally, meth use can deplete the brain of neurotransmitters like serotonin, which can further impact emotional regulation.
What neurotransmitters are amino acids?
define amino acids in neurotransmitters
Which structure in the body releases neurotransmitters?
Neurons release neurotransmitters.
What is the relationship between drugs and the transmission of neurotransmitters?
The relationship between drugs an the transmission of neurotransmitters is that the drugs can interfere with the work of the neurotransmitters.
What does an axon release when an impulse reaches the end of it?
Neurotransmitters to the synapse and the neurotransmitters bind with the receptors releasing the second messengers.
Certain mental problems are thought to be caused by not having enough neurotransmitters. Why would a lack of neurotransmitters cause problems?
Neurotransmitters send signals from neuron to neuron
