Welcome to the NEW Baltimore County volunteer site! We encourage agencies in Baltimore County and the surrounding communities to create a profile to highlight their volunteer needs. We invite people searching for volunteer opportunities to use either the quick search tool above or register as a volunteer from the drop-down menu at the top of the page.
By inhibiting the dopamine transporter, a dopamine reuptake inhibitor increases the body's extracellular concentrations of dopamine, which in turn increases dopaminergic neurotransmission and creates feelings of pleasure or even euphoria. A dopamine reuptake inhibitor has a number of medical applications.
As a result, the natural effect of dopamine on the post-synaptic neurons is amplified. The group of neurons thus modified produces much more dependency (from dopamine), feelings of confidence (from serotonin), and energy (from norepinephrine) typically experienced by people who take cocaine.
