Acute nicotine changes dynorphin and prodynorphin mRNA in the striatum.

abstract：BACKGROUND:New psychoactive substances (NPS) are chemical analogues designed to mimic the effects of various classic recreational drugs of abuse including MDMA, LSD, and cannabis. NPS use is associated with concern about the acute and longer-term effects particular substances might have, with abuse and addiction as pot...
