Cocaine and other commonly abused substances are highly addictive because they affect the brain. The use of cocaine impairs a person’s judgment. It also triggers the “reward” center of the brain, which means that the individual is much more likely to use cocaine again.
Hear about one study performed on honeybees by watching this video. The researcher in this video explains how he administered cocaine to the bees and evaluated their reactions to it. He found that honeybees and humans share similar reactions to the substance, and hopes to use his research to explore new substance abuse treatment options.
