Questions
Drugs оf аbuse аnd thоse used fоr treаting mental illnesses affect a person's neurochemistry (neuron function and neurotransmitter release). Given your budding knowledge of the nervous system, identify and describe THREE different ways that drugs of abuse or prescribed pharmaceuticals can alter how one neuron communicates with another. For each of the ways you decide to mention, make sure to identify where in the neuron the drug can have its effect (e.g., axon terminal, synaptic cleft, dendrites, axon hillock, etc.) and how the drug (elicit or prescribed) alters neural communication at that site. As with all essays in this class you MUST write in clear, complete sentences and use correct grammar and syntax. Re-read your answer out loud before submitting your exam to make sure that it sounds correct and clearly gets your point across. This question can be answered is approximately 3 - 6 complete sentences, so don't feel like you need to write a thesis.
