Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dopamine is a neurotransmitter responsible for feelings of pleasure and reward. When drugs are consumed, they increase the release of dopamine in the brain, leading to the pleasurable effects commonly associated with drug use. This is why dopamine systems in the brain are often referred to as the "reward pathways." Alcohol is also known to increase dopamine release, which contributes to its addictive potential. While some drugs may also have effects on other neurotransmitter systems, such as serotonin or GABA, the primary mechanism of action for most drugs of abuse is increased activity in the dopamine pathways. Therefore, choice D is the best answer.
