🗑
Glutamate: Excess/Undersupply   overstimulate brain (migraines or seizures)/ N.A.  
🗑
Endorphins: Excess/Undersupply   on edge (fight or flight for small events)/body pain  
🗑
Substance P: Excess/Undersupply   sleep interference, anxiety/body cannot feel pain  
🗑
Acetylcholine: Substances that Affect the Actions of the Neurotransmitter   nicotine, blakw widow spider venom, botulism toxin, curare, atropine

🗑
Which drugs increase the number of impulses?   nicotine, alcohol, opiates (increased neurotransmitter release)  
🗑
Which drugs release the neurotransmitter from vesicles with our without impulses?   amphetamines, methamphetamines (increased neurotransmitter release)  
🗑
Which drugs release more neurotransmitter in response to an impulse?   nicotine (increased neurotransmitter release)  
🗑
Which drugs block reuptake?   cocaine, amphetamine (more neurotransmitter present in synaptic cleft)  
🗑
which drugs block receptors with another molecule?   LSD, caffeine (no change in amount of neurotransmitter released, or neurotransmitter cannot bind to is receptor of post-synaptic neuron)  
🗑
