COMMENTS: Study examined what nerve cells in the reward center are activated with water and with cocaine. Study found a small overlap between cocaine and water (and food in a previous experiment). However – later studies will find that drugs activate the same neurons as sex. The Journal of Neuroscience, 1 June 2000, 20(11): 4255-4266; […]
