How do cns depressants affect the brain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
NEURO-CHEMISTRY: The brain is a system of interconnecting nerves, and chemical neurotransmitters allow signals which pass from nerve cell body to another, culminating in a sensation or response. Chemical depressants inhibit these reactions, and modify usual brain activity.
