The reason that opiates such as heroin and morphine affect us so powerfully is that these exogenous substances bind to the same receptors as our endogenous opioids. There are three kinds of receptors widely distributed throughout the brain: mu, delta, and kappa receptors.ut not all drugs increase dopamine levels in the brain in the same way. 1  Some substances imitate natural neuromediators and take their place on their receptors. 2  Other substances increase the secretion of natural neuromediators. 3  Still other substances block a natural neuromediator.
Neurotransmitters Affected by Caffeine. Adenosine: Adenosine is the main neurotransmitter affected by caffeine and this is the mechanism through which all the other effects occur. Adenosine is a substance (a âpurine nucleoside) that is produced in the brain as our neurons fire.lutamate is one such âexcitatoryâ neurotransmitter which has an important role in âlong-term potentiationâ. What this means, is that glutamate increases the strength of the connection between neurons that fire at the same time.
