A Mind Damaged by Addiction One downside of cocaine and amphetamines: Doing stimulants can cut your motivation to do anything else. Researchers have found that stifled ambition may be an enduring side effect of a stimulant addiction, persisting long after the habit is gone. In addition, an area of the brain involved in curiosity seems to be permanently damaged by the drugs. The findings, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, explain why stimulant abusers have a hard time kicking the addiction and often relapse. In the experiment, a team led by Bryan Kolb, professor of psychology and neuroscience at the University of Lethbridge in Alberta, Canada, exposed one group of laboratory rats to amphetamine and cocaine for twenty days. After three months, the researchers inspected the condition of the spiny neurons in each rat's brain. Kolb says these findings help explain the repetitive and compulsive behavior of people addicted to stimulants.
