Using CRISPR gene editing techniques, researchers create modified skin grafts that rapidly degrade cocaine and reduce drug seeking behaviors in mouse models of addiction.
Using mouse models, researchers found bile diversion surgery reduced cocaine induced increases in dopamine release and cocaine related behaviors. Researchers believe bariatric surgery or the consumption of a synthetic bile drug may help curb cocaine addiction in humans.
A new study reveals exercise can help to prevent relapse in those with cocaine addition.
A new study reveals bile acids can reduce the rewarding properties of cocaine use.
A new study reports mice lacking the Maged1 gene are unable to acquire an addiction to cocaine.
A new study will investigate whether psilocybin can help curb cocaine addiction. Researchers are currently seeking people with a history of cocaine abuse to participate in the study.
Emory researchers report a drug approved in Japan for stroke, can help to stimulate neural pruning and help reduce habit driven behaviors in mice.
A new study reveals chronic cocaine users have a global impairment of the ventromedial prefrontal cortex.
A new study reinforces the idea that serotonin, a molecule associated with mood, directly contributes to the actions of cocaine.
Silencing pyramidal neurons in the infralimbic cortex made rats more likely to relapse than those that underwent withdrawal from cocaine. The findings support growing evidence that the infralimbic cortex plays a vital role in suppressing addictive behaviors.
Research suggests men who use cocaine at the time of conception could increase the risk of their son developing learning difficulties and memory loss.
According to a new study, cocaine has the most potent effects on the female brain when estrogen levels are at their highest.
