What else can I help you with?
What mimic or enhance the effects of a neurotransmitter on the receptor sites of the next cell increasing or decreasing the activity of that cell?
Agonists mimic or enhance the effects of neurotransmitters by binding to the receptor sites of the next cell and increasing the activity of that cell. Antagonists, on the other hand, block or inhibit the effects of neurotransmitters, resulting in decreased activity of the cell.
What neurotransmitter does caffeine mimic?
adenosine
What drug can mimic the effect of dopamine on the brain?
Amphetamines can mimic the effects of dopamine in the brain by increasing its release and blocking its reuptake.
How might psychologists use drugs that mimic the effects of neurotransmitters to treat psychological disorders?
psychologists use drugs like high drugs which alerts our minds in unconscious behavior and these mimic the effect of neurotransmitter in our body
Can long term usage of amphetamines for attention deficit disorder cause neurotransmitter imbalances and depression?
answer is yes
Does Lexapro have amphetamine in it?
Citalopram does not contain any amphetamines. It is an antidepressant that acts as an SSRI type of medication. It does not mimic amphetamines.
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.
Amphetamines the effects it has if pregnant?
There are no reported effects on a baby if you take amphetamines when pregnant, but there could be some side effects that we don't know about that could have to do with your personal genetics and the genetics of the father that could be stimulated so consult your doctor and your obstetrician about it.
Amphetamines have stimulating effects on the nervous system because they?
release norepinephrine
The euphoric effects of amphetamines result from changes in?
changes in dopamine activity
Can agonists or antagonists that mimic neurotransmitters be mistakenly stored in terminal buttons during reuptake?
Some neurotransmitter molecules have a molecular structure that precisely fits the receptor site on the receiving neuron, much as a key fits a lock. When the agonist molecule excites, it is similar enough in structure to the neurotransmitter molecule that it mimics its effects on the receiving neuron. Morphine, for instance, mimics the action of endorphins by stimulating receptors in brain areas involved in mood and pain sensations. This antagonist molecule inhibits. It has a structure similar enough to the neurotransmitter to occupy its receptor site and block its action, but not similar enough to stimulate the receptor.
Abuse of what have been linked to the neurotransmitter dopamine?
Abuse of substances such as cocaine, amphetamines, and heroin have been linked to the neurotransmitter dopamine. These substances can increase dopamine levels in the brain, leading to feelings of euphoria and reinforcing the cycle of abuse.
