A drug like cocaine causes more dopamine to be produced in the brain.


Please select the best answer from the choices provided

T
F

Answer 1

The best answer is **False (F)**. Cocaine doesn’t increase the production of dopamine; rather, it inhibits the reuptake of dopamine in the brain, leading to an increase in the levels of dopamine available in the synaptic cleft. This creates the pleasurable effects associated with its use.
