<br/><br/> Using sophisticated 3-D animation, this program, divided into two part, takes viewers on a journey deep into the brain to study the effects of the three substances. The first part illustrates the major fuctions of the brain and shows how its principal cell, the neurons, communicate with each other through electrical and chemical singnals. In the second part, animated molecules of nicotine, cocaine, and marijuana travel a route from the external environment through the body to the brain, where viewers learn about the cellular targets os these drugs, and how each drug interacts with them and subsequently affects the body.
