Venous cocaine molecule

We often find it difficult to understand what causes drug dependence. However, the presence of a protein in the nervous system of fruit fly by some researchers seems to indicate that we are on the road to a better understanding of cocaine.

As is known, cocaine affects a brain molecule and the protein found in the fruit fly is related to this molecule. Therefore, genetic manipulation of this protein allows a better understanding of the influence of cocaine and its dependence.
