Detailed explanation-1: -Drugs interfere with the way neurons send, receive, and process signals via neurotransmitters. Some drugs, such as marijuana and heroin, can activate neurons because their chemical structure mimics that of a natural neurotransmitter in the body. This allows the drugs to attach onto and activate the neurons.
Detailed explanation-2: -Some drugs mimic neurotransmitters. Opioid drugs such as heroin and OxyContin, for example, chemically resemble the brain’s natural opioids sufficiently to engage and stimulate their specialized receptors.
Detailed explanation-3: -Examples of these dopamine agonist medications include: For Parkinson’s disease: pramipexole (Mirapex®), ropinirole (Requip®), rotigotine (Neupro®), apomorphine HCl (KYNMOBI®). For depression: pramipexole (Mirapex). For low sex drive: pramipexole (Mirapex).
Detailed explanation-4: -Opioid medications function by mimicking natural endorphins, competing for receptor binding.
Detailed explanation-5: -Drugs can affect it in many ways: They can stimulate or inhibit the release of neurotransmitters, mimic the effects of neurotransmitters on postsynaptic receptors, block these effects, or interfere with the reputable of a neurotransmitter once it is released.
