Detailed explanation-1: -Amphetamines make your central nervous system (the hard drive to your brain and spinal cord) work faster by increasing the number of neurotransmitters, specifically: Dopamine. Norepinephrine. Serotonin.
Detailed explanation-2: -Nicotine blocked the depression of ChI firing and corticostriatal activity and the potentiating response to an amphetamine challenge. Together, these results demonstrate that nicotine reduces reward-associated behaviors following repeated amphetamine and modifies the changes in ChIs firing and corticostriatal activity.
Detailed explanation-3: -Amphetamines are stimulant drugs that speed up the central nervous system. These drugs can cause addiction if they are misused.
Detailed explanation-4: -A stimulant is a drug which speeds up the central nervous system to increase neural activity in the brain. Examples include amphetamines, cocaine and crack, caffeine, nicotine and ecstasy. Stimulant drugs tend to make people feel more alert and focused and are sometimes called ‘uppers’.
