  13. Brain Function What’s really happening when a person takes a drug(s)

  14. CEREBRAL CORTEX RIGHT HEMISPHERE creativeimaginative general intuitive conceptual big picture empathetic figurative irregular LEFT HEMISPHERE analyticallogical precise repetitive organized details scientific literal sequential

  15. Processes sensory information from the whole body (information about pain, touch, and pressure) Responsible for initiating and coordinating motor movements and higher cognitive skills like problem solving and thinking Processes all the visual information coming into the brain In charge of making sense of the info you hear; Integrates info from various senses, such as smell and vision Controls posture, movement, and the sense of balance Controls simple reflexes, such as coughing, sneezing, and digestion

  16. The transfer of information between neurons is called neurotransmission. Chemical messengers called neurotransmitters carry messages across the synapse, or space between neurons. The neurotransmitter attaches to a receptoron the dendrite of the second neuron and the message is sent on through the neuron. Addiction and Neurotransmission Video: Neurotransmission Lock and Key

  17. How the brain sends messages…

  18. Neurotransmitters • Acetylcholine • Nicotine • Dopamine • Cocaine • Ecstasy • Methamphetamine • Seratonin • LSD • Alcohol • Amphetamines

  20. The method by which a drug is taken tends to correlate with an individual’s risk for addiction.

  21. Stages of Addiction SOCIAL USE/USE FOR EFFECT ABUSE/PREOCCUPATION WITH EFFECT CHRONICCHEMICALDEPENDENCY EXPERIMENTAL

  22. Experimental Use/Learning No adverse behavioral effects may be detected; substance has not yet interfered with lifestyle Uses at parties, on the weekends, or under peer pressure Easy to get drunk/high due to lack of tolerance User controls use; quantity and frequency

  23. Social Use/Use for Effect Tolerance begins to develop Individual suffers slight problems such as hangovers Individual develops self-imposed rules about use The user starts actively seeking the “good feeling” produced by the substance(s) by planned use or drugs/alcohol. Planned use involves buying substances.

  24. Abuse/Preoccupied with Effect User experiences a cost increase due to increased/high tolerance Increase in frequency of use; solitary use occurs Lifestyle begins to change; facilitates use. Rationalization and projection become more frequent Loss of control occurs; using more than planned, etc. Substance is used to help cope with feelings of anger, guilt, fear, and/or anxiety Denial grows; violates individual value system

  25. Chronic Chemical Dependency Individuals feels alone; isolated May experience a loss of desire to live; suicidal thoughts/attempts Physical problems User uses substance to feel normal rather than the feeling of pleasure Blackouts are long and frequent Complete loss of control; theft, arrest, etc
