PMID: 36555273
Microinjection of cocaine- and amphetamine-regulated transcript (CART) peptide 55-102 into the nucleus accumbens (NAcc) core significantly attenuates psychostimulant-induced locomotor activity. However, the molecular mechanism remains poorly understood. We examined the...

PMID: 35094386
Repeated injections of psychomotor stimulants like amphetamine (AMPH) to rodents can induce behavioral sensitization, which represents a long-lasting craving that is usually observed in human addicts. Behavioral sensitization is characteristically...

PMID: 31908581
The ezrin-radixin-moesin (ERM) proteins are a family of membrane-associated proteins known to play roles in cell-shape determination as well as in signaling pathways. We have previously shown that amphetamine decreases...
