Stimulants are substances that all result in the increase of levels of dopamine in the brain, which is a neurotransmitter that affects attention and pleasure. What this means is that stimulants affect our brain and the way it works by changing the ways that nerve cells communicate.
Neurons (nerve cells) are the cells that have a role in transmitting messages from the brain to other parts of our body, and vice-versa, which is important for pain response, alertness, energy etc.
With long-term use, the use of stimulants would affect the central nervous system (speeding it up), the brain, and the functions necessary to live, like respiration, heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature. Levels of neurotransmitters like dopamine, serotonin, and GABA, which are responsible for the regulation of different processes, are also impacted, which creates a chemical disbalance ultimately resulting in behavioral changes, mood swings, altered attention, movement and energy, stress etc.
So the part of the body that is affected the most with the long-term use of stimulants like cocaine, nicotine, methamphetamine is the brain of course, which is where these substances have the most impact, but the impact on the central nervous system, autonomous nervous system, and neurotransmitter levels is significant.
Rachel Carson played a key role in the birth of environmentalism in the 20th century.
She became increasingly aware of the harmful facts of insecticide DDT on the environment. This compelled her to write her most famous work Silent Spring and defending herself against attacks from commercial interests.
The book also played an influential part in persuading governments to ban or heavily restrict the use of DDT and similar chemicals that persist in the environment.

Messenger RNA (mRNA)
<span>Messenger RNA (mRNA) is known
to be molecules that carries codes (DNA) in the nucleus to the cytoplasm the
sites of protein synthesis. Thus, it is the RNA copy from one section of the
DNA that usually correspond to a single
gene. </span>
