  7. How neurons work: neurotransmission Explain the basic process behind neurotransmission… How do neurons transmit messages? What chemicals are involved? Give a general view of how this worksby referring to an image

  8. The Limbic System and Drug • How or why do people get addicted to your drug? (if not addicted how does it play with the reward pathway or limbic system?) • What neurotransmitter does your drug stimulate or inhibit? • What are treatments (if any) for your drug? How can people avid addiction or get better?
