The nervous system can't transmit messages without neurotransmitters. A person will die if his neurons fail to produce them.

Neurons would not be able to communicate across synapses. The different parts of the brain would not be able to communicate with each other as well.


What exactly does adderal do?

Adderal is a mixture of stimulants (almost a drug cocktail) called dextroamphetamines. They increase levels of important neurotransmitters in the synapses of neurons (space between them, the junction) so that there is a higher effectiveness of these neurotransmitters. People with ADHD have improperly functioning neurotransmissions, so this drug fixes that imbalance by preventing reuptake of neurotransmitters that are already struggling. However, in a normal person, they are increasing action of already well functioning neurotransmitters. So, for a normal person, adderal makes them hyper, overstimulating brain action. For people with ADHD, adderal normalizes neurotransmissions and seems to calm them down (actually helping normalize their behavior).


Caffeine affects on ADHD adult?

Caffeine causes the Hypothalamus to produce additional stores of Dopamin and Norepinephrine, two of the brain's neurotransmitters. Because patients with ADD/ADHD have fewer neurotransmitters than the average person, this overload of Dopamine causes you to become very, very sleepy.

What are some common neurotransmitters and describe their effect on behavior?

Acetylcholine- used to control muscles by the spinal cord neurons and to regulate memory from other neurons in the brain.Dopamine- produces feelings of pleasure.Serotonin- inhibits virtually all activities. It is important for sleep, mood, and eating behaviors.Norepinephrine- can be a neurotransmitter and a hormone. It can regulate normal brain processes.


How do medicine work?

The process is called re-uptake , in the synaptic cleft certain medicines interfere with the process where excess neurotransmitters are left in the synaptic cleft , they are reabsorbed and they are broken down by enzymes. If this process is interfered with, the neurotransmitters are left to reexcite the receptors on the dendrites of the neurons. (for example) look at prozac, a person has a defeciency of dopeamine the drug interferes with re-uptake thereby making dopeamine more efficient, (Allen Delaine)


What happens if a person have too much or too little amount of neurotransmitters?
