Hippocampal Neurogenesis in Human Subjects

Completed

Conditions studied: Hippocampal Neurogenesis in Cocaine Addiction

In brief

This study is being done to measure the number of brain cells that grow in the brain throughout our lives while determining an effective way to complete this with an MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) scanner. The number of these brain cells may be affected by cocaine use. Researchers are trying to understand the long-term effects of cocaine use on the brain.
