Can caffeine use disrupt the production of neurotransmitters by the soma region of the cell?

Caffeine primarily blocks adenosine receptors in the brain, leading to increased neuronal activity and the release of neurotransmitters. However, caffeine does not directly disrupt the production of neurotransmitters by the soma region of the cell. Instead, it affects neurotransmitter release and signaling pathways in the synapse.

How do Presynaptic neurons release neurotransmitters?

They don't, the neurotransmitters stay on either side of the synapse. Neurotransmitters are released when the synaptic vesicles fuse with the presynaptic neuron's membrane, so as to release them into the synaptic cleft.


How does ectasy mimic natural neurotransmitters?

Ectasy (MDMA) is a derivative amphetamine. It is similar to the natural drug ephedrine and may be a alpha/beta agonist (mimics both epinephrine and noradrenaline). What is more clear is that a secondary effect of the drug is an increased release of dopamine and serotinin in the central nervous system (see NIH article).
