The nurse educator is discussing the chemistry of alcohol dependence with a group of students in the classroom environment. which statement made by a student indicates correct understanding of the neurotransmitters involved in alcohol dependence?

Alcohol has very varied effects on neurotransmitters depending on the intake time and its drinking pattern. If alcohol consumption is short term, it will potentiate the inhibitory neurotransmitter action (inhibition of glutamatergic transmission, and activation of GABAergic neurons); On the other hand, long-term consumption produces tolerance, which tends to move these neurochemical alterations to normal values. On the other hand, if alcohol consumption is discontinuous or abruptly reduced, there is activation of glutamatergic neurotransmission and inhibition of GABAergic neurotransmission, among many other neurochemical alterations, which triggers withdrawal syndrome and consequent search behavior and unstoppable desire for to drink alcohol.

my hamster died and my second hamster i got after that one died as well. i also lost two birds named rainbow and kiwi, (they didn't die, they flew off and escaped). i lost a cat named omi, and a dog named snoopie. the best way i got over it is, paying my respects, and just thinking that they were in a happy place. as well as just remembering but not thinking about it all the time, just do fun activities and try not to think about it too much. hope you feel better. i'm sorry about your loss. : (
