effect of drugs psychologically on our brain
Alcohol affects activity of such neurotransmitters as glutamate, GABA, and dopamine; caffeine blocks the action of the neurotransmitter adenosine. Such changes are studied in the field of psychopharamacology, which concerns the effects of drugs on the mind and brain. This field investigates both recreational drugs such as alcohol, caffeine, marijuana, cocaine, and LSD, and therapeutic drugs such as antidepressants and antipsychotics.
