Chemical Shifts in Molecular Solids by Machine Learning [PDF]
The calculation of chemical shifts in solids has enabled methods to determine crystal structures in powders. The dependence of chemical shifts on local atomic environments sets them among the most powerful tools for structure elucidation of powdered solids or amorphous materials. Unfortunately, this dependency comes with the cost of high accuracy first-

Drug associated cues are a common relapse trigger for individuals recovering from cocaine use disorder. Sex and ovarian hormones influence patterns of cocaine use and relapse vulnerability, with studies indicating that females show increased cue-induced ...

Genetic and epigenetic analysis of the serotonin 2A receptor in the context of cocaine abuse
Despite more than 2 million American cocaine users monthly, there is no approved drug for treating cocaine use disorder. Cocaine use disorder has a multifactorial aetiology, including both genetic and environmental factors.

Sensitivity analysis for constructing optimal regimes in the presence of treatment non-compliance [PDF]
The current body of research on developing optimal treatment strategies often places emphasis on intention-to-treat analyses, which fail to take into account the compliance behavior of individuals. Methods based on instrumental variables have been developed to determine optimal treatment strategies in the presence of endogeneity.

Conditioned Contribution of Peripheral Cocaine Actions to Cocaine Reward and Cocaine-Seeking [PDF]
Cocaine has actions in the peripheral nervous system that reliably precede--and thus predict--its soon-to-follow central rewarding effects. In cocaine-experienced animals, the peripheral cocaine signal is relayed to the central nervous system, triggering excitatory input to the ventral tegmental origin of the mesocorticolimbic dopamine system, the ...

The Effects of Excitatory and Inhibitory Social Cues on Cocaine-Seeking Behavior
Social partners influence the likelihood of using drugs, developing a substance use disorder, and relapse to drug use after a period of abstinence. Preclinical studies report that social cues influence the acquisition of cocaine use, the escalation of ...

Reduced cue-induced reinstatement of cocaine-seeking behavior in Plcb1 +/− mice
Cocaine addiction causes serious health problems, and no effective treatment is available yet. We previously identified a genetic risk variant for cocaine addiction in the PLCB1 gene and found this gene upregulated in postmortem brains of cocaine abusers

Adolescent drug use reliably predicts increased addiction liability in adulthood, but not all individuals are equally impacted. To explore the biological bases of this differential reactivity to early life drug experience, we used a genetic rat model of ...
