Answer 2

(b. seven) there are 7 major neurotransmitters namely GABA, glutamate, dopamine, serotonin, norepinephrine, endorphins and anandamide that appear to account for most of the effects produced by the action of drugs of abuse on the brain. These neurotransmitters are chemicals that cells of the nervous system use to interconnect with each other and with other cells of the body. It is responsible for the signaling that triggers emotions, thoughts, planning and other types of behavior. Regulation of neurotransmitter signaling can therefore modify these processes. This idea is used in the treatment of neurological disorders such as Parkinson and Alzheimer disease, and psychiatric disorders such as depression.
