Cocaine and the brain 2

Dopamine is released in the reward centre of the brain. That is the system that associates feelings of pleasure with certain kinds of behaviour such as eating, drinking and sex. This makes you want to repeat such behaviours.

Cocaine can also stimulate the reward centre and arouse pleasurable feelings.
