How Does Cocaine Affect the Brain?

Last updated 7 months ago

Addiction comes in many forms, and a substance abuse problem can manifest itself differently depending on the substance the addict is using. Each drug interacts with the brain and body in a unique way.

Our brains are composed of nerve networks that send signals to each other. When we do something that helps us survive, like eat, the part of the brain that registers good feelings becomes active. How does cocaine take advantage of this system? Watch this short video to find out.
