Prompt 1E ("The Cells of the Nervous System" Lecture(s)): Drugs
act upon the same pathways triggered by ‘endogenous’ (naturally
occuring) neurotransmitters but enhance and amplify their normal
effects. Research a real-world drug and describe how it intervenes
on an existing pathway in the Nervous System. Be specific. What
does this pathway normally achieve in perception or behavior? How
does behavior and perception change under the influence of the
drug?
