COMMENTS: The DeltaFosB studies we often cite all focused on the nucleus accumbens (reward center), and found that sex pretty much trip the same brain mechanisms as meth & cocaine. From the landmark study by this same researcher (Natural and Drug Rewards Act on Common Neural Plasticity Mechanisms with ΔFosB as a Key Mediator (2013)): […]
