  • Essay / Neurotransmitters and Addictions - 778

    The nervous system controls and organizes all parts of the body. The brain receives all the messages and instructs the respective body parts to do their job. Neurons pass through the nervous system to receive and transfer messages in the form of an electrical impulse. In order for the brain to receive all the messages, a special chemical called neurotransmitters transmits the messages to the brain. There are many types of neurotransmitters such as dopamine, GABA, insulin, etc. Neurotransmitters are found between small spaces of neurons called synapses. A neurotransmitter works by moving quickly across the synapse and reaching sites on other sides to restart the electrical impulse. Later, they are broken down and receive new messages. Neurotransmitters are important for our body to respond, but they can be damaged or destroyed by certain things such as medications. Many drugs can affect them, for example cocaine and caffeine. There are many effective solutions for these medications, but it is not proven that they completely remove the effects on the body. Drugs are substances that disrupt this delicate balance, because they have “access keys” that allow them to open certain “locks” located between neurons. .
