which substance creates the greatest addiction related neuroadaptations after repeated exposure?
Ethonal, nicotine delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), a-PVP ?? What is it ?
I'm looking for comparative evidence, e.g., magnitude and duration of mesolimbic dopamine signalling, peak extracellular dopamine levels in the nucleus accumbens, changes in D2/D3 receptor availability, and density dopamine transporter (DAT) expression and Function, incentive sensitization, synaptic plasticity within the mesolimbic reward pathway, and long-term structural or molecular adaptations, etc..
rather than subjective rankings or anecdotal reports. Are there comparative studies that quantify these effects across different substances ?
Also, which measurable category would you say is the most important here? #animals
