09 04:00 PM EDTStudy in mice finds drug alters gene activity points to new methods for treatmentTHURSDAY May 14 (HealthDay News) Many remember those fried-egg”this is your brain on drugs” public serviceannouncements. Now a new study offers insight into how addictivedrugs such as cocaine “cook” the brain. "The study's findings enable us to glimpse for thefirst time exactly how cocaine modifies the activity of genes inregions of the brain that that mediate reward" explained NoraVolkow the director of the U. National Institute on Drug Abusethe organization that supported the study.

The results provide a peak into means by which cocaine alters gene activity in the areas of the brain that mediate reward according Nora Volkow the director of the U. National Institute on Drug Abuse which commissioned the study. "These genes represent promising new targets for the development of medications to treat cocaine addiction" she said.

During his first chemistry lab the fledgling engineer discovered just how seriously behind he was. Despite having taken Advanced Placement chemistry in high school he had never been in a chemistry lab. His high school Foshay Learning Center did not have one. He – like everyone else in his high school chemistry class – received a one the lowest grade on the AP exam. “It’s the grade you get just for signing your name” Zuniga said.

Eicher while previewing the district’s new chemistry textbook to be used next year saw an opportunity to use elements of forensic science as a chemistry application. "It was all I hoped for" Eicher said of the visit by Dublin Police detective Erik Gilleland who demonstrated using numerous chemicals and techniques how police identify suspects at crime scenes. "So many TV shows create an interest in crime-solving and I saw a way to use that to help students develop an interest in learning how chemistry plays a role in that" Eicher said. "I wanted them to see the relevance.

Chemistry 2 students will have the pleasurable experience of addressing the basics of chemistry and the unique opportunity of stepping in teachers’ shoes for the day during their presentations to Roosevelt and Franklin elementary school students. The Chemistry 2 students answer questions the students may think of and frequently point out main concepts the students should be pulling out of their presentation. Students were planning on visiting West during 5A lunch yesterday and today for the exhibit in room S-26. “Chemistry 2 students are putting on science shows for fourth graders from Franklin and Roosevelt schools” chemistry teacher Bill Stenz said.
