Let's say a well-known drug company manufactures and distributes a new drug called Relaxol. Relaxol is primarily marketed as a p
harmaceutical treatment for individuals who have difficulties managing their lives due to high amounts of stress. The drug appears to greatly reduce anxiety levels and bring about positive emotions such as joy and happiness. However, if not taken as prescribed, especially in very high doses it can induce a significant euphoria, leading to lack of sleep and impaired judgment. Thus, the drug has a highly addictive property and usage must be carefully monitored. Based on this information, answer the following questions:1. Name 2 neurotransmitters that you believe Relaxol most likely interacts with based on the given information. Be sure to include information either from lecture notes or the textbook to back up your claims!2. Pick one of your 2 proposed neurotransmitters and discuss whether you think Relaxol is an agonist and/or antagonist of that neurotransmitter. Describe four different possible mechanism of interaction of Relaxol on this neurotransmitter. Describe each mechanism in detail. 3. Name one area of the brain where you think Relaxol may be having its effects and describe why you think this area is involved.
