Interactive Flash Program About Drug Abuse
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.'
This clever and imaginative interactive flash program called Mouse Party from the University of Utah demonstrates how drugs of abuse work in the brain.
