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.
The effects are drug-specific: Each drug disrupts particular neurotransmitters in particular ways. Some important effects, however, are shared by all: initial pleasurable feelings, and subsequent dependence and addiction, resulting from disruption of the dopamine neurotransmitter system.
