Amphetemines Boost Sense of Touch

The sense of touch can
be significantly improved using drug therapy, new research suggests.
According to a report published in the current issue of the journal Science,
amphetamines administered in conjunction with finger stimulation can
increase a fingertip’s sensitivity by 23 percent.

The enhanced sense of touch only lasted about 24 hours, the team reports,
but additional stimulation raised it again.
