What's a neurotoxin?

[vantranist]

First, what is it?

second, in methamphetmines case, what is it?

Can other systems be effected other than dopamine/seretonin recepters?


info?

[Junket]

well coke is cardiotoxic meaning its bad for your heart,

meth is neurotoxic so its like bad for your brain and body..

something along those lines, swim is really baked

[Paracelsus]

A neurotoxin is a substance that damaged neuronal structures. In lab animals, chronic or high-dose amphetamines damage dopamine receptors if I recall correctly.

[vantranist]

So, is it over stimulation of the nerves or something else?

[Junket]

I think its like poison, it pollutes your cells

[Stephenwolf]

Nope, doesn't "pollute" cells... it causes brain problems, problems with the Neural systems...its RIGHT in the Name...Neuro Toxic... Brain Toxic... Damages Receptors and glands that produce chems in the brain, its Brain problem causing...fairly straight forward really, just as Cardiotoxin means Heart Toxic... Neuro Toxic is Brain toxic.. in methamphetamine it affects the Dopanine Receptors negatively, in any other drug/chemical it could affect Any receptor in Anyway...
