Scientists discover the brain protein that drives cocaine relapse
🤖AI Özeti
Researchers at Michigan State University have identified a brain protein, DeltaFosB, that plays a critical role in cocaine addiction and relapse. This protein accumulates with repeated cocaine use, leading to significant changes in the brain's communication pathways, particularly between the reward system and the hippocampus. These alterations enhance the brain's compulsion to seek cocaine, highlighting the biological underpinnings of addiction beyond mere willpower.
