Most illicit drugs affect the nervous system by affecting the action of a particular neurotransmitter at in the brain. Drugs that increase the likelihood of neuron excitation are called and those that decrease that likelihood are called.
Specific ways that a drug could increase the effect of a neurotransmitter (NT) at a synapse include: 1) causing the NT to leak out of a synaptic by the presynaptic membrane, and; 3) blocking an into the synaptic cleft; preventing of the NT that normally breaks down the NT
A specific example of a drug that affects a neurotransmitter in this way is cocaine, which potentiates the effects of the neurotransmitter by interfering with its reuptake from synaptic clefts. Researchers have found that this neurotransmitter is largely responsible for mood However, with continued use, physiological outcome amounts of the drug may be needed to create the same.
