Chronic cocaine abuse induces long-term neurochemical, structural and behavioural changes thought to result from altered gene expression within the nucleus accumbens and other brain regions playing a critical role in addiction. Recent methodological... Read More about Gene expression profiling in the brains of human cocaine abusers.

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...
