Drug addiction: Cocaine and the serotonin saga
Francis J. White1
Cocaine addiction remains a serious social problem, largely because we lack effective treatments for it. We know that, in the brain, the main molecular targets of cocaine are the transporter proteins that remove the neurotransmitters dopamine, noradrenaline and serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine) from synapses after they have sent their messages to postsynaptic neurons.
- Francis J. White is in the Department of Cellular and Molecular Pharmacology, Finch University of Health Sciences/Chicago Medical School, 3333 Green Bay Road, North Chicago, Illinois 60064-3095, USA.
