Summary Introduction
To determine:
The consequences of a drug that substantially increases the amount of serotonin released in the brain.
Introduction:
Serotonin is a neurotransmitter derived from amino acid tryptophan. It regulates both the physiological and behavioral processes of the body. It mediates communication between neurons in the central nervous system. In addition to this, it also promotes the feeling of well-being and happiness in humans. The deficiency of serotonin in the brain results in depression and anxiety.

- Imagine that a new type of psychoactive drug has been developed in a laboratory. It works by slowing the reuptake of dopamine in some brain circuits, increasing the amount of dopamine in the synapse. It also blocks serotonin binding in other brain circuits. Based on only this information, you can conclude that this new psychoactive drug is a: dopamine and serotonin antagonist. dopamine antagonist and serotonin agonist. dopamine and serotonin agonist. dopamine agonist and serotonin antagonist.arrow_forwardDefine and describe endogenous rhythms.arrow_forwardDescribe how neurotransmitter chemicals in the brain work, and the effects that depressants and stimulants have on their function.arrow_forward
