How do drugs affect the brain

This covers the central nervous system, Grey and White matter. You will be considering key concepts involved in nerve impulse transmission such as the all-or-none rule, sodium ion and calcium ion across membranes. You will be looking at a number of neurotransmitters and their role in behaviour and also the impact of drugs and the environment on behaviour and neurotransmitter levels.
