abstract：:Transcription regulatory factors are rapidly induced in brain by a wide variety of stimuli and may be important in coordinating changes in gene expression under-lying neuronal plasticity. Using in situ hybridization, we found that acute cocaine administration (20 mg/kg, intraperitoneally (i.p.)) produced a robust indu...
