Unlocking Cocaine’s Grip on the Brain - School of Pharmacy Professor Lingjun Li and lab members reveal the crucial role of neuropeptides in cocaine addiction, paving the way for novel therapies.

Why is cocaine so addictive? A new study from Professor Lingjun Li (@liresearch.bsky.social) reveals that it’s not just about dopamine — neuropeptides across the brain play a key role.

These insights could lead to better addiction treatments. Learn how: pharmacy.wisc.edu/2025/03/22/u...
