Effects of Drugs on the Brain


Stimulant Effects Other stimulant drugs for example, cocaine and amphetamines greatly affect the release of excitatory neurotransmitters and in this manner create a larger amount of alertness and a more fundamentally altered mood. That is the reason these stimulant drugs are once in a while known as "speed".


Depressant Effects

Depressant drugs, similar to alcohol and heroin, work similarly on mood and personality however activate inhibitory chemical messengers. In any case, the repeated use of such drugs over a broadened time frame can bring about the body to adjust the amount of actually happening inhibitory chemicals it produces. This prompts the phenomena of tolerance. More of the drug has to be taken in order to get the desired effect. In building tolerance to the effects of a drug, the client might step headed for physical drug dependence.


Hallucinogenic Effects Hallucinogenic drugs, similar to LSD and certain "magic" mushrooms, influence those ranges of the cerebrum which control sensory perception and thought patterns.

They do this by changing the way in which the messages are gotten and interpreted. The change in mood or personality brought about by hallucinogenic drugs will probably be influenced by the set and setting of the drug use than the pharmacological action of the drugs themselves within the central nervous system.
