Neurochemistry and Neurotransmitter Function Part One
What is meant by the neurochemistry of a drug? Identify one neurotransmitter and describe its physiological function in the human brain.
Provide an example to support your description.
This discussion question meets the following CACREP Standard: 5.C.2.g. Impact of biological and neurological mechanisms on mental health.
Part Two
Objectives:
Discuss the effects of addiction on the components of the central nervous system and other organ systems in the human body.
Examine the different neurotransmitters in the brain.
Describe the process of neurotransmission. Cholinergic functions, which are quantitatively minor among other brain neurotransmitters, are studied intensively because of this hypothesis.
