Those are very different sentences and that difference makes them hold some content. Especially content like numerical values and limitations, making the whole thing waaaaaay less binary (which was the issue with the original one).
I went through abstracts of papers 1 and 3 ('long term exposure to cocaine induces neuroplasticity' isn't exactly controversial). The issue isn't with those papers, but in difference between them and 'cause neural rewireing'.
It's the difference you're also well aware of, because in 'summary' you put my exact quote quoting you in form of 'Everything causes neural rewiring' while on the way there you decided to argue against position that 'every interaction leads to a measurable change in the brain matter'. Those are different statements, unless there's some standard explaining that 'neural rewiring' refers to a specific level of changes that I'm simply not familiar with.
- niemandhier 3y agoUsually people mean by rewireing changes in nerve connectivity, things related to hepian learning or changes to the actual brain matter that could relate to connectivity. Some of those things you see when putting the brain into a slicer and build up a z stacked volume. I have never heard short term memory related things mentioned in the same context. Transition to more permanent forms of memory is most likely related to changes in connectivity, but I am not an expert on memory. Few substances are so drastic, that a single dose causes visible changes on that level, meaning changes you can see in brain matter. Cocaine is one, at least for rats. In humans crack allegedly is worse. I recommend reading "Freeway" Rick Ross retelling of what convinced him to get into the trade ( his test subject came back looking for more after a single dose …). Maybe I should condense what I actually mean: WITH CRACK IT’S NOT THE CAGE.
