Mice Study Shows Brain’s Natural Resistance to Drugs

A single exposure to cocaine or methamphetamine can cause a powerful reaction in the brains of mice, shutting down the neurons that generate pleasure, according to new research that has also discovered that these cellular changes lasted for at least a week.

The findings suggest this may be a protective, anti-addiction response, say the researchers, who theorize that it might be possible to mimic this response to treat drug addiction.
