Dopamine modulation via memristive schematic [PDF]
In this technical report we present novel results of the dopamine neuromodulation inspired modulation of a polyaniline (PANI) memristive device excitatory learning STDP. Results presented in this work are of two experiments setup computer simulation and physical prototype experiments.

Chronic cocaine enhances release of neuroprotective amino acid taurine: a microdialysis study [PDF]
Cocaine inhibits high-affinity neurotransmitter uptake at the presynaptic nerve terminals to increase synaptic levels of dopamine, norepinephrine and serotonin^1^. This increase of synaptic dopamine may cause neurotoxicity^2,3^.
