Take a look inside the brains of mice on drugs! Every drug of abuse has its own unique molecular mechanism. You’ll learn how these various drugs disrupt the synapse to make the user feel “high”~ The Genetics Science Learning Center at the University of Utah

Want to know how cocaine, heroin, and alcohol affect your brain? Well this animated production produced by the University of Utah is by far one of the best learning tools I have seen explaining this complicated science. Make sure to turn your volume up, after you get past the 70’s retro-porn soundtrack a very nice lady will explain the progression of slides.
