Scientifically Speaking

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

Presented by John Maddox
How do the drugs used for treating schizophrenia function? Why do narcotics such as opium and heroin have such profound effects? And why are they addictive? Research in the past 10 years has shown that these and other substances act on sensitive parts of certain brain cells. The search for these triggers of human behaviour is described by DR LESLIE IVERSON from the MRC Neurochemical Pharmacology Unit, Cambridge.
