Chapter 23, Problem 62P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The mechanism of stimulation of cocaine to the continuous firing of signals between neurons is to be explained.
Concept introduction:
Cocaine is a strong stimulant which is also known as cock and it is prepared from the coca leaves. The cocaine is used as a recreational drug. It is frequently inhaled as smoke and snorted or dissolved and it is injected to the veins.

Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are drugs that can alleviate symptoms of depression
by blocking the reuptake of serotonin (5-HT) from the synaptic cleft, thereby increasing the amount
of time that 5-HT remains active. Elevated levels of 5-HT within the synapse are associated with
feelings of well-being; conversely, low levels of 5-HT are correlated with depressive symptoms.
Recent studies have shown that SSRIs can also mediate their antidepressant effects by increasing
brain levels of certain cytokines, including interferon gamma (IFNY). IFNY directly induces the
expression of the protein p11 in neighboring neurons, which then interacts with 5-HTR4, a 5-HT
transmembrane receptor. Figures 1 and 2 provide information about this interaction.
