Article Synopsis
- Social interactions can help protect against substance use disorders, but how sensory experiences, like smell, influence this is not well understood.
- This study tested the olfactory system's role in rats by removing their olfactory bulbs and observing their social behaviors and drug cravings.
- Results indicated that rats with a functioning sense of smell preferred social interactions over cocaine, while those with impaired smell favored cocaine; using partner odors can help reduce cravings and promote abstinence.
