Drug-Induced Plasticity Contributing to Heightened Relapse Susceptibility: Neurochemical Changes and Augmented Reinstatement in High-Intake Rats [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
A key in understanding the neurobiology of addiction and developing effective pharmacotherapies is revealing drug-induced plasticity that results in heightened relapse susceptibility.

Effects of cocaethylene on dopamine and serotonin synthesis in Long–Evans and Sprague–Dawley brains [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
We examined the behavioral and neurochemical effects of cocaethylene treatment in Long–Evans ( LE). and Sprague–Dawley (SD) rats. Cocaethylene-induced behaviors were significantly less in LE rats.

Mussel‐Inspired Molecular Strategies for Fabricating Functional Materials With Underwater Adhesion and Self‐Healing Properties

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
This review systematically examines the nanomechanical mechanisms of mussel‐inspired molecular interactions, primarily investigated by direct force measurement techniques such as surface forces apparatus and atomic force microscopy. The macroscopic adhesive and self‐healing performances of mussel‐inspired functional materials, including coacervates ...

Optogenetic stimulation of VTA dopamine neurons reveals that tonic but not phasic patterns of dopamine transmission reduce ethanol self-administration

open access: yesFrontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2013
There is compelling evidence that acute ethanol exposure stimulates ventral tegmental area (VTA) dopamine cell activity and that VTA-dependent dopamine release in terminal fields within the nucleus accumbens plays an integral role in the regulation of ...

Harnessing Photo‐Energy Conversion in Nanomaterials for Precision Theranostics

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Harnessing photo‐energy conversion in nanomaterials enables precision theranostics through light‐driven mechanisms such as photoluminescence, photothermal, photoelectric, photoacoustic, photo‐triggered surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), and photodynamic processes. This review explores six fundamental principles of photo‐energy conversion, recent

Chronic cocaine enhances release of neuroprotective amino acid taurine: a microdialysis study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Cocaine inhibits high-affinity neurotransmitter uptake at the presynaptic nerve terminals to increase synaptic levels of dopamine, norepinephrine and serotonin^1^. This increase of synaptic dopamine may cause neurotoxicity^2,3^.

Adjusting Cell‐Surface Interactions Through a Covalent Immobilization of Biomolecules

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
This review presents an overview of current and emerging immobilization techniques coupled with an in‐depth investigation of the underlying mechanisms governing the activity and stability of covalently immobilized biomolecules. The aim of this study is to serve as a guide for the development of long‐lasting biomedical coatings with versatile biological

The impact of a parkinsonian lesion on dynamic striatal dopamine transmission depends on nicotinic receptor activation

open access: yesNeurobiology of Disease, 2015
Dopamine function is disturbed in Parkinson's disease (PD), but whether and how release of dopamine from surviving neurons is altered has long been debated.

Dopamine receptors gene expression in male rat hippocampus after administration of MDMA (Ecstasy) [La Expresión Génica de Receptores de Dopamina en el Hipocampo de Ratas Macho Después de la Administración de MDMA (Éxtasis)] [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Ecstasy is one of the most popular amusing drugs among young people. Documents indicate some effects of Ecstasy on hippocampus and close relations between dopaminergic functions with reward learning. Therefore, the aim of this study was evaluation of the
