Difference between Cocaine and Dynorphin

Cocaine vs. Dynorphin

Cocaine, also known as coke, is a strong stimulant mostly used as a recreational drug. Dynorphins (Dyn) are a class of opioid peptides that arise from the precursor protein prodynorphin.

Similarities between Cocaine and Dynorphin

Cocaine and Dynorphin have 10 things in common (in Unionpedia): Chemical synapse, Dopamine, Hyperthermia, Morphine, N-Methyl-D-aspartic acid, Neurotransmitter, Nucleus accumbens, Striatum, Substantia nigra, Vesicle (biology and chemistry).

Chemical synapse

Chemical synapses are biological junctions through which neurons' signals can be exchanged to each other and to non-neuronal cells such as those in muscles or glands.

Dopamine

Dopamine (DA, a contraction of 3,4-dihydroxyphenethylamine) is an organic chemical of the catecholamine and phenethylamine families that plays several important roles in the brain and body.

Hyperthermia

Hyperthermia is elevated body temperature due to failed thermoregulation that occurs when a body produces or absorbs more heat than it dissipates.

Morphine

Morphine is a pain medication of the opiate variety which is found naturally in a number of plants and animals.

N-Methyl-D-aspartic acid

N-Methyl-D-aspartic acid or N-Methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) is an amino acid derivative that acts as a specific agonist at the NMDA receptor mimicking the action of glutamate, the neurotransmitter which normally acts at that receptor.

Neurotransmitter

Neurotransmitters are endogenous chemicals that enable neurotransmission.

Nucleus accumbens

The nucleus accumbens (NAc or NAcc), also known as the accumbens nucleus, or formerly as the nucleus accumbens septi (Latin for nucleus adjacent to the septum) is a region in the basal forebrain rostral to the preoptic area of the hypothalamus.

Striatum

The striatum, or corpus striatum (also called the neostriatum and the striate nucleus) is a nucleus (a cluster of neurons) in the subcortical basal ganglia of the forebrain.

Substantia nigra

The substantia nigra (SN) is a basal ganglia structure located in the midbrain that plays an important role in reward and movement.

Vesicle (biology and chemistry)

In cell biology, a vesicle is a small structure within a cell, or extracellular, consisting of fluid enclosed by a lipid bilayer.
