Abstract

The interaction between stress and drugs of abuse is a critical component of drug addiction, but the underlying molecular mechanisms remain elusive. Arc/Arg3.1 is an effector immediate early gene that may represent a bridge connecting short- and long-term neuronal modifications associated with exposure to stress and drugs of abuse.
