Hi,
For Biology homework, I have to research exactly how solvents affect the nervous system but I can't really find it anywhere on the internet - it's all a bit brief!  Just a few points would be helpful - I'm not the sort of person to ask for my homework to be done for me!

Thanks!

I used to use glue to get high and I wouldbe out of it for hours.  How it affects me inside I couldn't tell you but I know I remembered all that was happening during my 'trip' and I had no memory loss at all.

solvents give out fumes, not so ostensibly and taking them into our body through breathing, then they will numb your system

Solvents attack brain cells, resulting in neurological damage.  That's why those using solvents are advised to do so in a well-ventilated area.  Unfortunately, some people sniff various solvents for a temporary 'buzz'.  The outcome of this self-abuse is addiction, permanent brain damage, and eventually, death.

The question is vague and uninteresting. "Solvent" is a non-specific quantity. Water is a solvent. Heck, any liquid is a solvent for something. What, exactly, are we meant to consider? Industrial solvents like paint thinners? Via what mechanism do you suppose it affects the nervous system? Am I injecting it intravenously? Am I introducing it specifically into nerve cells? Am I huffing the fumes? What?
