Abstract
Caffeine is the most widely consumed behaviorally active substance in the world. Almost all caffeine comes from dietary sources (beverages and food), most of it from coffee and tea. Acute and, especially, chronic caffeine intake appear to have only minor negative consequences on health. For this

Caffeine induces a profound and persistent tachycardia in response to MDMA ("Ecstasy") administration.

TL;DR: Caffeine promotes hyperthermia and lethality when co-administered with the recreational drug 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA, "Ecstasy") to rats, suggesting that central and sympathomimetic actions are responsible for the tachycardia observed in vivo.

Caffeine is a risk factor for osteopenia of prematurity in preterm infants: a cohort study

TL;DR: Caffeine dose and duration of therapy of caffeine, as well as steroid are associated with osteopenia of prematurity in this cohort and future studies are needed to confirm these findings and determine the lowest dose of caffeine needed to treat effectively apnea ofPrematurity.

Caffeine alters resting-state functional connectivity measured by blood oxygenation level-dependent MRI.

TL;DR: Per‐subject data analysis showed that caffeine decreased functional connectivity in the motor/visual cortices, but its effects on DMN varied among subjects, and correlation analysis of the changes in functional connectivity and regional blood flow suggested that the effect of caffeine on BOLD functional connectivity was predominantly neural (motor/ visual cortices) and partly vascular (DMN).

A Neural Substrate of Prediction and Reward

TL;DR: Findings in this work indicate that dopaminergic neurons in the primate whose fluctuating output apparently signals changes or errors in the predictions of future salient and rewarding events can be understood through quantitative theories of adaptive optimizing control.
