An overabundance of the neurotransmitter norepinephrine is most likely to be associated with?
An overabundance of the neurotransmitter norepinephrine is most likely to be associated with manic episode.
What neurotransmitter functions as a common inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain?
GABA (Gamma-AminoButyric Acid) is the most common neurotransmitter producing inhibition in the brain.
What neurotransmitter is affected by marijuana?
The way that marijuana works is that anandamide, a natural neurotransmitter produced, reacts to cannabinoid receptors in the brain. Delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol mimics the action of these anandamides and attaches itself to the cannabinoid receptors. on the other hand, neurotransmitters that are affected by Marijuana are Dopamine and Norepinephrine. Dopamine has a variety of roles in the brain, such as attention and gratification. Norepinephrine, for the most part, affects action and response. Serotonin and GABA may also be affected.
Does nicotine affect the same neurotransmitters as heroin and cocaine?
Yes, I believe so. They all affect the neurotransmitter dopamine.
What are two neurological drugs?
Nicotine is one of the most common drugs that acts on the nervous system. It binds to the same receptors that acetylcholine binds to, creating a similar excitatory effect. This is why nicotine is a stimulant. Nicotine also facilitates the release of dopamine in the brain, giving smokers that relaxed, more alert feeling. Another drug that affects the nervous system is alcohol. In low doses, it acts as a stimulate, partially because it acts on glutamate receptors (glutamate is the most common excitatory neurotransmitter in the brain). However, in high doses, alcohol is a depressant, acting on GABA receptors (GABA is a major inhibitory neurotransmitter). Alcohol causes motor, cognitive, verbal, and perceptual impairments. However, nicotine is one of the most addictive substances in the United States, and both drugs have serious side effects on other areas of the body.
