Cocaine addiction makes the brain age faster, suggests study - Science & research news | Frontiers,By Mischa Dijkstra, Frontiers science writer A new study finds evidence from the DNA methylome that the biological age – different from the chronological age – of cells in Brodmann Area 9 of the prefrontal cortex might be greater in people with cocaine use disorder. This suggests that cocaine abuse makes these cells age faster
