Rat study suggests why teens get hooked on cocaine more easily than adults

rning to a central area involved with reward and addiction. This biochemical express lane, which appears to fade as the brain matures, may result in the adolescent brains capacity for building stronger memories for rewarding stimuli -- including the people, places and events associated with addicting drugs.

This heightened salience, say Brenhouse and Andersen, may require atypical strategies for drug abuse intervention during the adolescent period, such as extended treatment that involves substitution with different rewards, for example, exercise or music. Brenhouse wonders whether teens may learn best when rewards are involved. Harnessing their acute ability to learn well and form strong associations with stimuli that predict rewards may be helpful, she says. In addition, it may be important to realize that adolescents might need longer treatment programs.
