    Excessive dopamine will cause Schizophrenia and lack of Dopamine will cause Parkinsonism.
    Don't mess with nervous system.

    What happens to a person's brain when having been treated with a low-dose of an atypical antipsychotic for years, i.e. Sulpiride (high binding to D1 receptor)?
    Will that person have more D1 receptors afterwards and feel more "activated" after Sulpiride withdrawal?
    Thank you!

    This makes physiological addiction very easy to understand. This same process seems to be in place in some other drugs as well.

    Does the dendrite absorb the neurotransmitters or release them after they bind?

    Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't dopamine primarily inhibitory? Would be better with a minus in the postsynaptic dendrite I think.

  • @kevinfacts5200

    Why can't the body just leave the dopamine receptors alone so that it would always feel like the first few times you've taken the drug??

  • @FreeWolf623
    @FreeWolf623 12 років тому +1

    Sorry, but the receptors do not grow back. They get burnt out over time and/or with heavy use. Hence the Old Saying "You're a burnout" ..

  • @RiodeJaneiro4ever
    @RiodeJaneiro4ever 13 років тому

    @FarhadTv True. It's a process called down regulation of the post synaptic neuron dopamine receptors. They don't disappear. Instead they retract due to hyper stimulation from coke continuous usage and don't work the way they should ever again.

    i answer myself here:
    Major neurotransmitters:
    Amino acids:
    glutamate, aspartate, D-serine, γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA), glycine
    Monoamines and other biogenic amines:
    dopamine (DA), norepinephrine (noradrenaline; NE, NA), epinephrine (adrenaline), histamine, serotonin (SE, 5-HT)
    Others:
    acetylcholine (ACh), adenosine, anandamide, nitric oxide, etc.

    @entehrend not after long term use, which is what the addict will do either way, the synapsis and some brain stems and cells are scarred for life , we try to raise the bottom of the addict and alcoholic,, poly addiced person.

    I recently got hooked on coke and it's no joke. It will make you feel like superman but costs a lot. I currently snort about 1.5-2g a day atleast and thats not even bad. Luckily I have a good paying job so I can afford it. But remember it's addictive as hell because it makes you fell invincible but will slowly dry your life away. It's not just a 1 kind of party deal. You'll want to feel that rush again. If its for 1 night remind yourself that. It makes you crave liquor as well. I'm 19 years old snorting 2g a day and drinking 1.75ml of vodka a day. It's taking 1/2 my check atleast just for coke. Maybe do it 1 time and do it. Fuck coke. Please be safe bc the only reason i tried it is bc I want to kms.

    I find it interesting that once you have cocaine, the number of your dopamine receptors decrease. Also once that happens you don't enjoy things as much.

    Your information on dopamine is out-dated. A release of dopamine is associated with the motivation to perform an action, not pleasure from completing it.

    I think this argument against drugs is kinda repetitive. The more you do something you enjoy, the less it will have any effect on you. This isn't a drug related effect, anything that you perform alot does that.
