Why should there be drugs to act on CNS…
The answer is simple;
In order to repair or
modify functions
of the CNS

Mechanisms of action
(on the synapse)
Switch offslow down
Action potential
Switch onSpeed up Modify
![Page 6: Drugs acting on the cns](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061409/553aaafb4a7959f87e8b45ba/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Key players at the synapse
Neurotransmitter + Receptor
They can either be inhibitory or excitatory
In. N’trans + In. Rec. = (Reduced Activity)
Exc.N’trans + Exc.Rec = (Increased activity)
![Page 7: Drugs acting on the cns](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061409/553aaafb4a7959f87e8b45ba/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Common natural neurotransmitters in the brain
Glutamate (glutamicAcid)
Excitatory
GABA Inhibitory
Serotonin Inhibitory
Glycine Inhibitory
Dopamine Inhibitory
Aspartic acid Excitatory
Acetylcholine Excitatory
Norepinephrine Mostly Excitatory

Modification of the action potentialHow does it occur???
Switch onSpeed up
Increase conc. of excitatory neurotransmitter
Decrease conc. of inhibitory neurotransmitter
Assist stimulation of excitatory receptor
Inhibit stimulation of inhibitory receptor

CNS StimulantsThese are used for stimulation of some brain
centers like respiratory center. They are also used for; To counteract lethargy and fatigue To reduce sleepiness. To decrease appetite and promote weight loss,
as well as to treat obesity. To improve concentration especially for those
with attentional disorders such as ADHD. Occasionallyused to treat clinical depression.
