Research

I'm excited about the focus of our macro project!  I love the idea of using exercise to treat addiction.  I started researching this topic this week and found a great study called "Exercise as a novel treatment for drug addiction:  A neurobiological and stage-dependent hypothesis."  A few highlights from the study are that exercise may prevent drug use initiation through interactions with dopamine, that it may prevent relapse through interactions with glutamate, dopamine, and chromatin, and that exercise overall may be a useful tool for treating drug addiction.  Sounds promising!
