Pharmacology
• Different drugs produce different effects within the psyche and soma
• The interaction between drugs and living organisms is called pharmacology
• Drug pharmacology relates to the way it is administered, absorbed, distributed, metabolized, and excreted
Nervous System
• Peripheral Nervous System
• Somatic Nervous System
• Autonomic Nervous System
• Sympathetic
• Parasympathetic
• Central Nervous System
You have approximately 100
billion neurons and 100
trillion synapses in your
brain. How long would it take
to count to a trillion?
A. All day
B. A month
C. A trillion seconds
D. 32,000 years All day

Chemical Pathways
1. Dopamine (excitatory)
• Found in basal ganglia and other regions – behavior & emotions, including pleasure
• Nigrostriatal dopamine pathway
• Related to muscle rigidity
• Mesolimbic dopamine pathway
• Related to psychotic behavior
• Possible component of the “reward” properties of drugs
Chemical Pathways
2. Acetylcholine (excitatory)
• Found in the cerebral cortex & basal ganglia
• Involved in Alzheimer’s disease, learning, memory
storage, movement
3. Norepinephrine (excitatory & inhibitory)
• Regulates level of arousal and attentiveness, memory
• May play a role in initiation of food intake (appetite)
Chemical Pathways
4. Serotonin (inhibitory or excitatory)
• Found in the brain stem raphe nuclei
• May have a role in impulsivity, aggression, depression, control of food, and alcohol intake
• Hallucinogenic drugs influence serotonin pathways
5. GABA (Gamma-amino butyric acid) (inhibitory)
• Found in most regions of the brain
• Inhibitory neurotransmitter, sleep, anxiety
Chemical Pathways
6. Glutamate (excitatory)
• Found in most regions of the brain
• Excitatory neurotransmitter, involved in long-term
memory
7. Endorphins (inhibitory)
• Opioid-like chemical occurring naturally in the brain
• Play a role in pain relief
People who engage in
strenuous exercise
actually emit a
neurotransmitter that
contributes to a “high”
feeling.

Drug Actions
• Alter neurotransmitter availability
• Agonists - Mimic neurotransmitters
• Antagonists = Occupy neurotransmitter and prevent its activation
• Interference with reuptake

Dose
• Potency = measured by the amount of a drug required to produce a given effect
• Toxicity = capacity of a drug to do damage or cause adverse side effects
• Safety margin = difference between: • Dose that produces the desired therapeutic effect in
most patients
• Lowest dose that produces an unacceptable toxic reaction
• Most drugs have an LD1 well above the ED95
