Caffeine is a popular psychostimulant drug that many people consume daily in the form of coffee, tea, sodas or energy drinks.

Caffeine is a non-selective adenosine receptor antagonist. When stimulated the receptors facilitate neurotransmitter release, long term potentiation, smooth muscle relaxation, and vasodilation to mention a few. Immature cortical and hippocampal primary cell cultures from rat were treated day 1-4 in vitro with non-sele
