Determine what drug the individual in your case has been using and what led you to believe this.Determine what receptors, transporters, or neurotransmitters could be involved and how the drug affects these receptors, transporters, or neurotransmitters.

N3 Case Study

1. Determine what drug the individual in your case has been using and what led you to believe this.

2. Determine what the subjective effects of the drug are (i.e., what has a person reported feeling after using the drug).

3. Determine what receptors, transporters, or neurotransmitters could be involved and how the drug affects these receptors, transporters, or neurotransmitters.

4. Create one PowerPoint slide that describes your findings on this drug.

5. You may use your textbook and at least one more source. List these on your PowerPoint slide
