About this video

#nicotine binds to nicotinic receptors in the #brain , increasing the release of #dopamine, serotonin, norepinephrine, acetylcholine, gamma-aminobutyric acid, and glutamate, among other neurotransmitters. Apart from nicotinic receptor stimulation, cigarette smoke has other psychotropic characteristics. Monoamine oxidase (the enzyme responsible for the breakdown of the biogenic amine neurotransmitters norepinephrine, serotonin, and dopamine) is inhibited in the brain, for example. Various antide...
