(Recreational) Drugs and the Brain
Every part of a synapse is a potential target for drugs. (You have likely heard of many of them 😉). This video is a gateway topic between cellular & molecular neurobiology and systems neuroscience---every part of a chemical synapse is a known target of (recreational and otherwise) drugs, yet their effects are also determined by which neural systems are involved. Here we take a tour of several recreational drugs and their molecular targets within the chemical synapse. Bonus topics: the science of free-basing, and how to build a robo-rat.
