Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -They imitate the brain’s natural chemical messengers. They over-stimulate the brain’s “reward” circuit. Normally, the reward circuit responds to feelings of pleasure by releasing the neurotransmitter dopamine. Drugs take control of this system, causing large amounts of dopamine to flood the system.
Detailed explanation-2: -Psychoactive drugs alter brain functions and act on the brain by altering the neurotransmitter availability at the synapse or by interacting with the neurotransmitter receptor itself.
