What are two neurological drugs?

Answer 1

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.
