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.

Where do neurotransmitters act?

They act at the end of a synapse. These are where in the nervous system (relay arc) a relay neurone meets a motor neurone. There is a gap called a synapse between these two neurones and so the only way to transmit the electrical impulse is through neurotransmitters which 'jump' across the gap whilist 'holding' on to the impulse.
