What drug blocks blocks the release of the neurotransmitter?
An example of a drug that blocks release of a neurotransmitter is botulinum toxin (Ach) and atropine.
Prozac functions as an antidepressant because it?
blocks the reuptake of serotonin.
If cocaine blocks the reuptake of catecholamines it would be considered a?
sympathetic agonist
Is ketamine an agonist or antagonist?
Ketamine is an antagonist at the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor in the brain. It blocks the action of glutamate, an excitatory neurotransmitter, leading to its dissociative and anesthetic effects.
What are sertraline capsules for?
Sertriline (Zoloft) Selectively blocks reuptake of serotonin, enhancing serotonergic function. It is an antidepressant.

Which inhibitory neurotransmitter is considered to be the most prevalent in the mammalian CNS?
GABA, or gamma amino butyric acid, is made from glutamate in the cells of the brain. This inhibitory neurotransmitter blocks nerve impulses.
Does cocaine effects the nervous system?
It is a norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor. Norepineprhine is a stimulating neurotransmitter. It makes you feel up, energetic, and hyperactive. It also increases your heart rate and blood pressure. When norepinephrine is released from nerve cells in the synapse to send a signal on to the next nerve cell, there is a reuptake pump that removes the norepinephrine to cut the signal off. This keeps the pathway from firing to much or too long and preserves the norepinephrine for future use. Cocaine blocks the reuptake system and makes the stimulating stronger and last longer. However it that means that you also deplete your supply of norepinephrine and "crash". This makes you feel tired. So you keep wanting more cocaine to get back to that good (high) feeling, but because you have used up the norepinephrine you never quite reach it. That makes cocaine very addictive.
How many city blocks is 300 meters?
About 3 blocks. Depends on the city, though, and on the particular blocks; there are of course individual differences. I was told that in Brasilia, they have blocks of about 500 meters each, instead of the usual 100.About 3 blocks.

What amino acid looks like serotonin?
None. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins....serotonin is a neurotransmitter
What is the difference between soc and asic?
Soc is nothing but integration of all blocks that r defined for particular functionality i.e,the blocks may be anlog blocks,digital blocks and these blocks are internally connected via system bus. AISC is also designed for particular specific application that itegrates all the blocks that are used to perform a particular task. finally i can conclude that there is no much difference between understanding of how the modules are integrated is same but asic chip is also one block of System on chip.
What does botulinum toxin do?
Botulinum toxin blocks motor nerves' ability to release acetylcho-line, the neurotransmitter that relays nerve signals to muscles, and flaccid paralysis occurs.
