Rac1 is essential in cocaine-induced structural plasticity of nucleus accumbens neurons.

abstract：:A hallmark of addiction is the loss of control over drug intake, which is seen in only a fraction of those exposed to stimulant drugs such as cocaine. The cellular mechanisms underlying vulnerability or resistance to compulsive drug use remain unknown. We found that individual variability in the development of highly ...
