AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -This is called neuroadaption. The common effect of neuroadaption is an increased tolerance to the drug (Clarke et al, 2003:36). A tolerance to a particular drug has been developed when: The same dose no longer produces the original effect.

Detailed explanation-2: -Tolerance. The more often a drug is used, the more the brain becomes used to its effects, and the more established its pattern of homeostatic responses to the drug’s presence becomes. This is called neuroadaptation. A common effect of this is a young person’s increased tolerance to the drug.

Detailed explanation-3: -Neuroadaptation refers largely to the processes by which initial drug effects are either enhanced (i.e., sensitization) or attenuated (i.e., counteradaptation) by repeated AOD exposure. Drug-related responses (i.e., reinforcement) are modulated by the neuroadaptive changes that occur with AOD exposure.

Detailed explanation-4: -Neuroadaptation refers to the changes which the brain undergoes to accommodate the presence of a new substance or condition. For instance, drinking a can of coke initially made you feel more awake, however, your system is already used to the caffeine and sugar level which made you more tolerant to the substance.

Detailed explanation-5: -tolerance is a physical effect of repeated use of a drug. Tolerance does not always equal addiction. Withdrawal: Symptoms a person experiences when not using a substance, due to the body reacting to no longer having the substance.
