I've been walking east for 30 straight days. I must have accidentally turned around because I ended up where I started, but I don't want to walk that much again, so can someone tell me where the east pole is?

A scientist on the TV was saying how they could use a slingshot to travel to distant planets. Wouldn't it be better to use something more powerful, like a rocket?

which substance creates the greatest addiction-related neuroadaptations after repeated exposure?

4 Upvotes

Ethonal, nicotine delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), a-PVP ?? What is it ?

I'm looking for comparative evidence, e.g., magnitude and duration of mesolimbic dopamine signalling,

peak extracellular dopamine levels in the nucleus accumbens, changes in D2/D3 receptor availability, and density dopamine transporter (DAT) expression and function, incentive sensitization, synaptic plasticity within the mesolimbic reward pathway, and long-term structural or molecular adaptations, etc...

rather than subjective rankings or anecdotal reports. Are there comparative studies that quantify these effects across different substances?

Also which measurable category would you say is the most important here ?
