Here is a fun little game from the University of Utah on the basic neuroscience of some abused substances:

This is a fun animation, I'm going to post it on my facebook in hopes of spreading mouse-squeezing joy.

OMG, that was great! I love the little mouse druggy personalities. When I noticed the tripping mouse making trails with his fingers I laughed. I was impressed with the molecular level of understanding of these drugs, too.

The only one I didn't like was the mouse on meth. What is that one doing and how does it reflect being under the influence of meth?

Did you notice how much he was scratching? "There are bugs crawling under my skin!!" (Supposedly common meth freak complaint...) Also he thrashed about a lot when picked up, while the alky mouse was limp. And he was really skinny. You could see his ribs.
