Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cocaine inhibits the reuptake of dopamine, which means it prevents dopamine from being taken back up into the presynaptic neuron, causing it to remain in the synapse for a longer period of time. This leads to an increased stimulation of dopamine receptors in the postsynaptic neuron, leading to the characteristic effects of cocaine use.
