ORGANISM(S): Rattus norvegicus 
Methamphetamine (METH) addiction is associated with a plethora of neuropsychiatric symptoms. In rodents, administration of the drug is accompanied by complex changes in gene expression in the dorsal striatum. Very little is known about the effects of the drug on gene expression and epigenetic modifi...

In contrast to the acute METH-induced transcriptional changes, chronic METH administration produces differential changes in IEG responses and blunts the striatal effects of a single METH injection (McCoy et al., 2011). These observations suggested that chromic METH might have caused changes in the m...

Unilateral injections of 6-hydroxydopamine into the medial forebrain bundle (MFB) is used extensively as a model of Parkinson’s disease. The present experiments examined whether a single injection of methamphetamine (METH) (2.5 mg/kg) could still influence striatal gene expression after 6-hydroxydop...

Methamphetamine (METH) is a widely abused illicit amphetamine that causes acute biochemical and molecular changes in the brain. However, there are very few studies that have investigated the long-term effects of a single METH exposure in adult animals. The purpose of this study was thus to determin...

Neuroplastic changes in the dorsal striatum participate in the transition from casual drug use to habitual and compulsive drug taking. These alterations might also play a critical role in the development of methamphetamine (METH) addiction. Nevertheless, the molecular substrates that underlie habitu...
