Major drug agonists: nicotine, nerve gas soman and sarin. Major drug agonists: cocaine, amphetamine, l-dopa, mao inhibitors. See table: you will be responsible for those in red. Major point: the strong association between neurochemicals/drugs and subjective emotional experience. This association does not track with the primary affects in any simple way. Reason: subjective emotional experience is neurochemically based; primary affects are ecologically based (displays and preattunements = social communication). Peptides function by the neurochemical fitting a receptor site like a key in a lock neurochemicals. Beta lipotropin chains of amino acids that makes them up and has analgesic (pain killing) effects. Major drug agonists: lsd, psilocybin, mescaline, mdma, ssris (prozac, zoloft) Major drug agonsists: ethanol, barbituates, benzodiazepines (librium, valium) The shape of peptide molecules, and therefore their biological effects, depends on the. For example, the neurohormone beta lipotropin comprises a chain of 91 amino acids, One way that antagonists work is by fitting on receptor sites, displacing the functional.
