Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Amphetamines increase the release of catecholamine neurotransmitters (such as dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine) by stimulating their release from the presynaptic neuron and inhibiting their reuptake. In contrast, cocaine blocks the reuptake of these neurotransmitters, leading to their accumulation in the synaptic cleft and ultimately increasing their effects.
