Drug-induced change in transmitter identity is a shared mechanism generating cognitive deficits
biorxiv.org
Cognitive deficits are a long-lasting consequence of drug use, yet the convergent mechanism by which different drugs cause similar deficits is unclear. We find that both phencyclidine and methamphe...
