Impact of Cocaine on Brain

Introduction

The study is related to the impact of cocaine on brain which particularly focuses on the is dopamine related to cocaine seeking in humans as it is in rats; as the it is assumed that when a rat is given cocaine the dopamine levels in the brain will rise, but will increase more when the rat is not receiving cocaine but looking and seeking cocaine. For that reason, it is important to study the impact of cocaine on brain.

Discussion

Cocaine is consumed by many different types of subjects and motifs. There is a pattern of recreational use, alcohol style, presenting a controlled intake of the substance: the case of those taking the drug when given occasionally. They differ radically from standard addicts who develop tolerance and need higher doses to achieve the same results. This situation can be reached for various reasons but always related to social and environmental determinants. The cocaine has conditions that trigger, which can be the reinforcement of insecure personality, which receives support in stimulating toxic. Instead of addressing this deficit or antidepressant drugs pathological mood stabilizers are used to a seemingly fast track. Since the effects of cocaine exceeded its peak at thirty minutes, the individual requires multiple doses throughout the day to achieve a certain emotional stability and avoid the dysphoric effect that the drug itself causes several hours after ingestion.

In addition to this, the heart will start to become worn out by the unusual overuse. Inward communication to the brain is sluggish and clouded, so the medulla persists to send messages for enlarged heart rate pending a heart failure may take place. Strokes and seizures occur mainly due to the overflowing dopamine into the incorrect receptor sites. The rush is greatly high and the malfunctions start to occur producing convulsions in some cases, strokes and deaths. “What is especially deadly about cocaine is that there is no correlation between how many times you've used cocaine or how much you used, and when you will suffer a cardiac arrest.” Effect of inhaled cocaine problem is a disease of public health. Risks and damages associated with the effect of inhaled cocaine dependence on the intensity varies. It should also consider personal variables such as motivation, knowledge or experience in the use of the effect of cocaine inhalation, and the specific properties of the effect of cocaine use by inhalation and effect elements.

Moreover, cocaine stimulates the central nervous system, affects the brain directly to the direct physiological effects include: sweating, muscle strength increased, dilated pupils, heart function and blood pressure, dilation of peripheral blood, convulsions, rapid breathing and body temperature. These symptoms can lead to death from cardiac arrest or respiratory failure. Also present irritation and ulceration of the nasal mucosa. In general, to cause nasal congestion that can occur with or without fluid secretion. Spraying exposes an addict infection AIDS, hepatitis B and C and other communicable ...
