Answer the following questions in essay format:
- How does your biology drive drug taking behavior (e.g., how do genetics affect whether or not an individual is likely to use this drug)?
- How does drug taking behavior affect your nervous system? Describe drug effects at the anatomical, physiological (brain activity), cellular, biochemical, and molecular level. In other words, how might drugs affect brain structure, neurotransmitter levels, brain activity, synapses, and gene expression of receptors? Describe the effects of short-term use and long- term use on the nervous system and behavior.
- How do environmental influences and biology interact to affect drug taking behavior?
