Article Synopsis
- Adolescence exposure to cocaine can increase drug use in adulthood, but the effects vary depending on how the drug was administered during that time.
- A study found that adolescent cocaine exposure raised the rewarding threshold for cocaine in adulthood, meaning that a higher dose was needed to elicit a preference for the drug.
- The research suggests that both contingent and non-contingent exposure to cocaine during adolescence can lead to desensitization towards lower doses, which could increase the likelihood of higher consumption of cocaine in the future.
