Neuropharmacology
. 2025 Feb;
270:110350.
PMID: 39938860
The highly plastic nature of the adolescent brain is well-known, and is thought to contribute to the unique susceptibility of adolescents to drugs of abuse. However, much investigation of adolescent...

Front Pharmacol
. 2024 Aug;
15:1445303.
PMID: 39206256
The rewarding effects of drugs of abuse are associated with the dopaminergic system in the limbic circuitry. Nicotine exposure during adolescence is linked to increased use of drugs of abuse...

Wells A, Mojica C, Lotfipour S
Neurobiol Learn Mem
. 2024 Jul;
213:107959.
PMID: 38964600
Adolescence is characterized by a critical period of maturation and growth, during which regions of the brain are vulnerable to long-lasting cognitive disturbances. Adolescent exposure to nicotine can lead to...

Carreno D, Facundo A, Nguyen M, Lotfipour S
Int J Mol Sci
. 2024 Apr;
25(7).
PMID: 38612487
We previously demonstrated that a genetic single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP, rs2304297) in the 3' untranslated region (UTR) of the human 6 gene has sex- and genotype-dependent effects on nicotine-induced locomotion, anxiety,...

Wells A, Lotfipour S
Adv Drug Alcohol Res
. 2024 Feb;
3:11628.
PMID: 38389806
Maternal tobacco use and nicotine exposure during pregnancy have been associated with adverse birth outcomes in infants and can lead to preventable pregnancy complications. Exposure to nicotine and other compounds...

Castro E, Lotfipour S, Leslie F
Pharmacol Res
. 2023 Mar;
190:106716.
PMID: 36868366
Developmental periods such as gestation and adolescence have enhanced plasticity leaving the brain vulnerable to harmful effects from nicotine use. Proper brain maturation and circuit organization is critical for normal...

Carreno D, Lotfipour S
Front Psychiatry
. 2023 Jan;
13:1064211.
PMID: 36704741
Rationale: Large-scale human candidate gene studies have indicated that a genetic variant (rs2304297) in the alpha(α)6 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) subunit, encoded by the 6 gene, may play a key...

Ren M, Lotfipour S
Int J Mol Sci
. 2023 Jan;
24(1).
PMID: 36613853
Communication between the brain and gut bacteria impacts drug- and addiction-related behaviors. To investigate the role of gut microbiota on fentanyl reinforcement and reward, we depleted gut bacteria in adult...

Carreno D, Lotfipour S
Nicotine Tob Res
. 2022 Oct;
25(5):1039-1046.
PMID: 36208287
Introduction: The initiation of nicotine and tobacco use peaks during adolescence. How adolescent males and females differ based on the acquisition of nicotine use and nicotine-seeking behavior is less understood....

Microorganisms
. 2022 Jun;
10(6).
PMID: 35744645
Gut bacteria influence neural circuits in addiction-related behaviors. Given the association between opioid use, gastrointestinal distress, and microbial dysbiosis in humans and mice, we test the hypothesis that interactions between...
