It seems like your question is incomplete. However, if you're asking about drugs that affect nerve cells (neurons) in the brain, many substances can influence neuronal function, leading to various effects. Here are some categories and examples:
1. **Stimulants**:
- **Amphetamines**: Increase the release of neurotransmitters like dopamine and norepinephrine, which can enhance focus and energy.
- **Caffeine**: Blocks adenosine receptors, leading to increased alertness.
2. **Depressants**:
- **Alcohol**: Alters neurotransmitter systems, including enhancing the effects of GABA, a neurotransmitter that promotes relaxation and reduces anxiety.
- **Benzodiazepines**: Enhance the effect of GABA, leading to sedation and relaxation.
3. **Hallucinogens**:
- **LSD**: Affects serotonin receptors, leading to altered perception and mood.
- **Psilocybin**: Similar effects as LSD, primarily through serotonin receptor modulation.
4. **Opioids**:
- **Heroin, Morphine, Oxycodone**: Bind to opioid receptors, providing pain relief and euphoria, but can also lead to addiction and changes in mood and cognition.
5. **Antidepressants**:
- **SSRIs (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors)**: Increase serotonin levels in the brain, which can help alleviate symptoms of depression and anxiety.
6. **Cannabinoids**:
- **THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol)**: The psychoactive component of cannabis, which can alter mood, perception, and memory.
