Untangling Mephedrone‐Induced Social Reward in Rats—The Involvement of Oxytocin and Vasopressin V1A Receptors

open access: yesGenes, Brain and Behavior, Volume 25, Issue 4, August 2026.
Social context alters the neurochemical and neuropeptidergic mechanisms of mephedrone reward, revealing a dual regulation by monoamines and oxytocin/vasopressin signaling in brain regions critical for reinforcement. ABSTRACT The rewarding effects of psychostimulants are strongly influenced by social context, yet the underlying neurochemical and ...

Recreational Drug Use at a Music Festival: A Dual Approach Using Hair Biomarkers Analysis and Participant Self‐Reported Drug Use

open access: yesDrug Testing and Analysis, Volume 18, Issue 7, Page 831-840, July 2026.
Combined self‐report and hair analysis in festival attendees (n = 249) revealed substantial discrepancies in drug use reporting, particularly for stimulants and dissociatives. This integrated approach enhances detection of poly‐drug use and provides a more reliable basis for monitoring and harm‐reduction strategies.
