Salvia divinorum is a naturally occurring psychedelic considered to be one of the most potent hallucinogens found to date. The few behavioral studies conducted conclude that Salvia's effects may be similar to traditional psychedelics, which is notewo...

Distinctive profiles of gene expression in the human nucleus accumbens associated with cocaine and heroin abuse (2006)
Journal Article
Albertson, D. N., Schmidt, C. J., Kapatos, G., & Bannon, M. J. (2006). Distinctive profiles of gene expression in the human nucleus accumbens associated with cocaine and heroin abuse. Neuropsychopharmacology, 31(10), 2304-2312. https://doi.org/10.1038/sj.npp.1301089

Drug abuse is thought to induce long-term cellular and behavioral adaptations as a result of alterations in gene expression. Understanding the molecular consequences of addiction may contribute to the development of better treatment strategies. This...

Gene expression profile of the nucleus accumbens of human cocaine abusers: Evidence for dysregulation of myelin (2004)
Journal Article
Albertson, D. N., Pruetz, B., Schmidt, C. J., Kuhn, D. M., Kapatos, G., & Bannon, M. J. (2004). Gene expression profile of the nucleus accumbens of human cocaine abusers: Evidence for dysregulation of myelin.

Chronic cocaine abuse induces long-term neural adaptations as a consequence of alterations in gene expression. This study was undertaken to identify those transcripts differentially regulated in the nucleus accumbens of human cocaine abusers. Affymet...
