Synaptic Effects of Most Major Drugs!

  1. Flash Media presentation primarily depicts how drugs interact with dopamine neurotransmitters to demonstrate the brain's reward pathway. University of Utah performs a valuable public service by making this kind of well explained science available, and understandable.

  2. AFAIK, the marijuanna mouse information is wrong. THC does not affect dopamine restrictors, which is why it's not physically addictive. Other drugs that affect dopamine restrictors(cocaine, heroine, crack, morphine, etc.) do not restrict the amount of dopamine in the brain, which is why they are considered physically addictive. This information might not be true, but I'm pretty sure it is.
