Block receptors on post synaptic neuron Affect reuptake of the neurotransmitter. Mouse Party Taken up by dopamine transporters and pushes dopamine out of vesicles. The transporters reverse action and pump dopamine into the synapse where it becomes trapped and repeatedly binds to receptors.
Increases the inhibitory effects of GABA. Binds to glutamate receptors, preventing glutamate from binding to and exciting the cell. A worksheet for a genetics activity that involves drugs and neurotransmitters.
