Does coffee block adenosine?
Caffeine in the Brain Due to its similar structure, caffeine binds to the adenosine receptors. Caffeine therefore, not only blocks adenosine's ability to slow nerve activity, but it increases nerve activity, leaving us stimulated, more alert, energetic, and occasionally with coffee jitters.
