Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cocaine acts to inhibit the reuptake of dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine into the nucleus accumbens in the forebrain, leading to increased levels of these neurotransmitters and producing the pleasurable effects associated with cocaine use. Alcohol primarily affects the GABAergic system, amphetamines primarily release dopamine and norepinephrine, and opiates primarily bind to opioid receptors in the brain.
