Dopamine Levels Increase. All addictive drugs affect brain pathways involving rewardâthat is, the dopamine system in the reward pathway. Within seconds to minutes of entering the body, drugs cause dramatic changes to synapses in the brain. By activating the brain's reward circuitry, drugs deliver a jolt of intense pleasure.
Communications sent through the CNS are transferred over to the peripheral nervous system, which extends throughout the bodyâs organs and extremities. In effect, neural messages run back and forth between the brain, CNS and peripheral nervous system. Narcotics effects can cause your nervous system to slow down. Since narcotics effects specifically target the CNS, once drugs enter the brain, their effects can spread quickly throughout the body. In addition to slowing down brain function in general, narcotics effects slow down overall communications between the brain and the body.
