Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Opiates mimic which neurotransmitter?
A
GABA
B
serotonin
C
endorphins
D
glutamate
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -GABA is an inhibitory neurotransmitter that is found primarily in the brain. High GABA levels result in low levels of dopamine, another neurotransmitter that is the brain’s “feel good” chemical and which plays a primary role in cocaine drug addiction. Cravings for cocaine can be reduced by lowering dopamine levels.

Detailed explanation-2: -Too much opioid use can cause your brain to rely on these artificial endorphins. Once your brain does this, it can even stop producing its own endorphins. The longer you use opioids, the more likely this is to happen. You also will need more opioids over time because of drug tolerance.
