UC Irvine-led team finds that compound in rosemary extract can reduce cocaine sensitivity

Irvine, Calif., Aug. 20, 2024 -- A team of researchers led by the University of California, Irvine has discovered that an antioxidant found in rosemary extract can reduce volitional intakes of cocaine by moderating the brain's reward response, offering a new therapeutic target for treating addiction. The study, recently published online in the journal Neuron, describes team members' focus on a region of the brain called the globus pallidus externus, which acts as a gatekeeper that regulates how we react to cocaine.
