PCP: Angel Dust Hallucinogens include drugs that are fascinating yet have alarming effects on a user. According to Gaines and Kremling (2014)‚ “In contrast to antidepressants that make the neurotransmitter serotonin linger in the gaps between brain cells‚ hallucinogens push the serotonin system into overdrive. Hallucinogens amplify signals from a person’s sensory perception‚ distorting form and size. Users often talk about “seeing sounds‚” or “hearing visual stimuli” (p. 129-130).” Hallucinogens

In the event of someone’s brain having differing levels of dopamine‚ the information provided by WebMD offers a link to ADHD. These examples plainly signify the likely contribution of brain chemistry

Subchronic level of arsenic exposure can affect the level of monoamine neurotransmitters in mice brains. Arsenic can downregulate the concentrations of norepinephrine (NE)‚ dopamine (DA)‚ monoamine oxidase (MAO) and 5-OH tryptamine (5-HT) in the cerebrum or cerebellum of mice. Arsenic increases acetylcholinesterase in brain tissue [7‚ 8]. The oxidative damage results in structural deformities in the myelin sheath of nerve fibers
