LSD mainly affects the Cerebral Cortex. LSD is a serotonin receptor agonist and much of its hallucinogenic effects are thought to result from binding to the 5-HT2A serotonin receptor in particular. LSD also affects all subtypes of dopamine receptor and all subtypes of adrenoreceptor.

How are neurotransmitters affected by meth?
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.
Are DNA and RNA neurotransmitters?
No. Neurotransmitters are located in the brain. DNA & RNA are related to cell information and replication.
Do neurotransmitters always cause hyperpolarization of the postsynaptic membrane?
No, many neurotransmitters cause the postsynaptic membrane to be depolarized.
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.
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.

How does ecstasy effect society?
Ecstasy doesn't affect society outside of those who use it and their close friends and family. How they're affected is different from person to person. Most are affected with either using the drug themselves, leaving the friend or family member or trying to help them. I don't think there's more to it than that.
What do neurotransmitters open?
Neurotransmitters act on synapses.
How does ecstasy affect serotonin levels in the brain?
MDMA, or ecstasy, affects three neurotransmitters: serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine. Studies show that MDMA can damage serotonin containing neurons. "Studies have shown that some heavy MDMA users experience long lasting confusion, depression, and selective impairment of working memory and attention processes."

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.
