This is my presentation of the effects drugs can have on the brain. Drugs are chemicals that tap into the brains communication system and tamper with the way nerve cells normally send, receive, and process information, when someone puts these drugs into their body. Different drugs because of their chemical structures work differently, and there are two ways drugs work in the brain, imitating the brains natural chemical messengers, and overstimulating the reward circuit of the brain. When a drug mimics that of a neurotransmitter that naturally occurs in our bodies can be fooled by drugs because our receptors, lock onto them, and activate the nerve cells. They don’t work the same way as natural neurotransmitters, and the neurons wind up sending
