THE PLEASURE  PART OF THE HUMAN BRAIN  OR CALLED THE REWARD CIRCUIT OR PLEASURE CENTER  OF THYE BRAIN.

WHEN COCAINE ENTERS THE BRAIN, IT BLOCKS THE DOPAMINE TRANSPORTER FROM PUMPING DPPAMINE BACK INTO THE TRANSMITTING NEURON,  FLOODING THE SYNAPSE WITH DOPAMINE.            THIS INTENSIFIES AND PROLONGS THE STIMULATION OF RECEVING  NEURONS IN THE BRAIN'S PLEASURE CIRCUITS, CAUSING A COCAINE HIGH.
