These type of models have to do with the neurotransmitters of the brain which serve as chemical messengers. A neurotransmitter function is to transmit signals across a synapse from one neuron or brain cell to another target neuron.

Researchers base biological theories on flaws relating to heredity‚ dysfunction of the brain’s neurotransmitters‚ injuries‚ trauma‚ or abnormalities involving the brain affecting behavior (Raine‚ 2002).

The fourth zone of a neuron is for signal transmission to target cells‚ it consists of the axon terminals. These axon terminals form the synapse. This is where the signal is converted into a chemical signal in a form of a chemical neurotransmitter. The neurotransmitter then diffuses across the synapse and binds to a receptor that would initiate the signal transmitted. 2. Explain the effect of the following on the membrane potential: a.

Presentation Questions Ecstasy 1. Explain how the brain normally regulates serotonin. How does ecstasy act in the brain‚ & what neurotransmitters does it affect? - Normally‚ the brain regulates serotonin (5-HT) by taking up the release in neighboring neurons. - With ecstasy‚ the neuron is still supplied with 5-HT directly. However‚ ecstasy MIMICS 5-HT by blocking the reuptake of serotonin‚ [causing the release of high levels of 5-HT into the synapse]‚ which induces euphoria & the
