Substance that imitates behaviour of a neurotransmitter, thus increasing its effect.
Back
Card 7
Front
Substance that block the transporter of noradrenaline and dopamine, interfering with their reuptake and boosting their effect.
Back
Card 8
Front
Substance that stimulates nicotinic receptors, increasing blood adrenaline levels.
Back
Card 9
Front
Substance that increases the effectiveness of inhibitory synapses, leading to relaxation. It indirectly stimulates dopamine release, causing euphoria.
Back
Card 10
Front
Substance that competes with adenosine for its receptors, thus reducing its inhibitory effect. It also inhibits enzyme that breaks down cAMP, increasing cell metabolism.
Back
Card 11
Front
Substance that is a non-competitive GABA agonist, used to treat anxiety disorders.
Back
Card 12
Front
Substances that interfere with MAO, the enzyme that breaks down serotonin, dopamine and noradrenaline. Used to treat depression.
Back
Card 13
Front
Substances that inhibit the transporter of serotonin, dopamine and noradrenaline. Used to treat depression.
Back
Card 14
Front
Substances that inhibit the transporter of serotonin, without affecting the other MAOs. Used to treat depression.
Back
Card 15
Front
Substances that block the transmission of dopamine by binding to dopamine receptors without opening ion channels. Used to treat schizophrenia.
