Cocaine dose triggers weeklong brain activity surge
UCSF researchers report a small cocaine dose in mice causes a weeklong chain reaction in AMPA receptors in the ventral tegmental area. The sustained activity releases dopamine, priming the brain for addiction and enhancing memory pathways. Lead author Mark Angles says all dopamine neurons are affected, with broad impact on addiction-related areas.
