Nitrous oxide (often referred to as "NOS") acts as a dissociative anesthetic and affects the brain by disrupting communication between neurons. It primarily influences the release of neurotransmitters, leading to altered perceptions, euphoria, and a sense of detachment from reality. Prolonged use can result in negative effects on cognitive function and neurological health, including potential vitamin B12 deficiency and nerve damage. Additionally, inhaling nitrous oxide can create risks of asphyxiation and other respiratory issues.
