Seems snap-25 also causes issues alongside d2. It helps pop out dopamine bubbles, in layman's terms. Dopamine is made in the nerve cell, then it is released outside the cell by a bubble called a synaptic vessel that basically goes inside out. It crosses the gap between cells and attaches to one of 4 dopamine receptors, the most important of which is d2 for adhd and amphetamine. It is then vacuumed up from that gap between cells by a set of proteins that can be blocked by ritalin, just like zoloft blocks the vacuum for serotonin. It then gets broken down by monoamine oxidase, another potential target for lots of therapies. This stuff is real folks and backed by knockout studies and fMRI scans.
