Drugs can impact dopamine and serotonin levels in different ways. For example, stimulant drugs like cocaine can increase dopamine levels in the brain, leading to feelings of pleasure and euphoria. On the other hand, antidepressant drugs like SSRIs work by increasing serotonin levels in the brain over time, which can help improve mood and alleviate symptoms of depression.

Which chemical is released in brain while dreaming?
During dreaming, the brain releases a variety of chemicals including serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine. These neurotransmitters play a role in regulating sleep states, mood, and emotions during the dream process.
What is the relationship between drugs and the transmission of neurotransmitters?
Drugs can impact neurotransmitter transmission by either mimicking or blocking the action of neurotransmitters at the synapse. For example, drugs like cocaine can block the reuptake of neurotransmitters like dopamine, leading to increased neurotransmitter levels in the synapse. This alteration in neurotransmitter levels can result in changes in brain function and behavior.
How amphetamines and cocaine both cause feelings of pleasure?
Amphetamines and cocaine stimulate the release of dopamine, a neurotransmitter associated with pleasure and reward, in the brain. This increased dopamine activity leads to feelings of euphoria and pleasure. Additionally, both drugs can also increase levels of other neurotransmitters like norepinephrine and serotonin, contributing to their pleasurable effects.
There are how many major neurotransmitters that appear to account for most of the effects produced by the action of drugs of abuse on the brain?
There are four major neurotransmitters that appear to account for most of the effects produced by the action of drugs of abuse on the brain. These include dopamine, serotonin, norepinephrine, and GABA. These neurotransmitters play key roles in the reward system, mood regulation, and stress response, contributing to the reinforcing effects of drugs.
Is dopamine polar or non-polar?
Dopamine is a polar molecule due to its hydroxyl functional groups that contain oxygen atoms with partial negative charges. This polarity allows dopamine to interact with other polar molecules and water.
What are two examples of neurotransmitters?
Seratonin and dopamine
What are the most important neurotransmiters?
seratonin and dopamine
Amphetamines increase the release of what four chemicals in your body?
I only know of seratonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine (sp)
What chemical in the brain makes you happy?
Seratonin It is released into the brain in large amount when ectsasy is ingested
What are the antagonists to antipsychotics?
any drugs that can increase dopamine concentration at synapses: L-dopaamphetamineany drugs that mimic dopamine action : e.g. bromocriptine
What are dopamine receptor agonists?
Dopamine receptor agonists are a type of medication that activate dopamine receptors in the brain. They are often used to treat conditions such as Parkinson's disease, restless leg syndrome, and hyperprolactinemia. By mimicking the effects of dopamine, these drugs help improve symptoms associated with these conditions.
What drugs appear to produce therapeutic effects by blocking receptor sites for dopamine?
antipsychotic drugs
Opiate drugs occupy the same receptor sites as dopamine?
Opiate drugs typically bind to opioid receptors rather than dopamine receptors. Opioids act on the brain and nervous system to produce pain relief and feelings of pleasure, whereas dopamine is a neurotransmitter involved in reward and pleasure pathways in the brain.
Drugs increase the release of from the neurons which creates feelings of pleasure.?
dopamine
Are there any addictive drugs that do not cause a dopamine release onto the nucleus accumbens?
Yes, there are addictive drugs that can act on other neurotransmitter systems aside from dopamine, such as opioids acting on the mu-opioid receptors. While dopamine release in the nucleus accumbens is a common pathway for many addictive drugs, it is not the only mechanism by which addiction can occur.
How does dope work?
Most drugs increase seratonin/dopamine production/stimulation/release in the brain, which is the feel good happy chemical. Over time, those levels get lower, and just to maintain normalcy, a large amount of drug is needed. Of course, that's not with all drugs! Modern LSD and Amanita Mushrooms have strictnine, which in the body, causes the back of your brain to bleed, causing visual hallucinations.
What is the key brain chemical involved in mediating the desire to consume drugs?
Dopamine
