Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Glutamate is an excitatory neurotransmitter that is involved in learning and memory, while anandamide is an endocannabinoid that interacts with the cannabinoid receptors and is involved in pain relief, appetite regulation, and mood. The relationship between glutamate and anandamide is not directly related to any of the other answer choices. However, marijuana (which contains delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC) interacts with the cannabinoid receptors in the brain and can cause euphoria, relaxation, and altered perception. Alcohol, on the other hand, enhances the effects of GABA (a neurotransmitter that inhibits neural activity) and can cause feelings of relaxation, decreased inhibition, and impaired judgment.
