Cocaine-Induced Neuroadaptations: Unraveling the Transformative Effects on the Brain

Fnu Shwetank

Cocaine, a potent stimulant drug, has been at the center of scientific inquiry and public health concern due to its addictive properties and severe consequences on the brain. This research article delves into the intricate ways in which cocaine induces neuroadaptations, leading to long-lasting alterations in brain structure and function. Through a comprehensive review of existing literature and recent findings, we aim to provide a comprehensive understanding of the multifaceted impact of cocaine on the brain. We discuss changes in neurotransmitter systems, structural alterations, and the implications of these alterations on addiction and behavior. Moreover, we explore potential therapeutic interventions to mitigate these adverse effects
