Sherlock, His Drug Habit and the Science of Addiction
I explore:
- drugs used by both ADC Holmes and BBC Sherlock
- the effects of cocaine on the brain,
- the physiology of addiction,
- how the brain motivates us and why Sherlock, in particularly, is more prone to addiction. It puts a whole new spin on the words “I need a case.”
If you ever wondered why Sherlock behaves so erratically between cases - brain biochemistry has already provided us with the answer.
