Question

How does cocaine induce a sense of exhilaration? by decreasing the activity of the main excitatory neurotransmitter in the brain by producing a long but mild sense of euphoria by increasing the higher social regulatory functions of the cerebral cortex by increasing the availability of dopamine and serotonin in synapses?

Answer 1

Cocaine induces a sense of exhilaration by increasing the availability of dopamine and serotonin in synapses. Cocaine is among the powerful stimulants which increase the release of neurotransmitters such as nor-epinephrine, dopamine and serotonin, that affect CNS and PNS activity. Cocaine administration constricts blood vessels that are absorbing it, son snorting it is a slow way to deliver it to blood stream and eventually the brain.
