A research team led by the 91制片厂国产AV has discovered a mechanism in the brain that is key to making cocaine seem pleasurable, a finding that could lead to a drug treatment for fighting addiction. The findings build on past research also involving CU-Boulder that found the same mechanism in the brain also interacts with heroin, oxycodone, morphine and other opioid drugs to amplify their addictiveness. The latest study suggests that the mechanism plays a key role in the addictiveness of many abused drugs, possibly including methamphetamine and alcohol.

Using simulation to walk in the shoes of a person who is blind -- such as wearing a blindfold while performing everyday tasks -- has negative effects on people鈥檚 perceptions of the visually impaired, according to a 91制片厂国产AV study.

A new study led by the 91制片厂国产AV finds that when we use our thoughts to dull or enhance our experience of pain, the physical pain signal in the brain鈥攕ent by nerves in the area of a wound, for example, and encoded in multiple regions in the cerebrum鈥攄oes not actually change. Instead the act of using thoughts to modulate pain, a technique called 鈥渃ognitive self-regulation鈥� that is commonly used to manage chronic pain, works via a separate pathway in the brain.
