Department of Clinical Neuroscience, Psychiatry Section, Karolinska Institute, Stockholm, Sweden
Pharmacogenomics J 6:255-64. 2006..These results indicate that maternal cannabis and alcohol exposure during pregnancy differentially impair opioid-related genes in distinct brain circuits that may have long-term effects on cognitive and emotional behaviors...

Ann N Y Acad Sci 877:499-506. 1999..We have noted differences between male and female rats in the mesolimbic mRNA expression of CART that might be relevant for gender differences apparent in drug abuse...
Blunted response to cocaine in the Flinders hypercholinergic animal model of depressionP Fagergren
Karolinska Institute, Department of Clinical Neuroscience, Psychiatry Section, Karolinska Hospital, Stockholm, Sweden
Neuroscience 132:1159-71. 2005..In conclusion, the FSL animal model of depression demonstrates marked blunting of the locomotor and dynorphin neuroadaptative responses to cocaine in accordance with its enhanced cholinergic sensitivity...
Preprotachykinin-A mRNA expression in the human and monkey brain: An in situ hybridization studyY L Hurd
Psychiatry Section, Department of Clinical Neuroscience, Karolinska Institute, S 171 76 Stockholm, Sweden
J Comp Neurol 411:56-72. 1999..Overall, more similarities than differences are apparent between primate species in the expression pattern of the PPT-A gene. J. Comp. Neurol. 411;56-72, 1999...
Cocaine self-administration behavior can be reduced or potentiated by the addition of specific dopamine concentrations in the nucleus accumbens and amygdala using in vivo microdialysisY L Hurd
Karolinska Institute, Department Clinical Neuroscience, Psychiatry Section, S 171 76, Stockholm, Sweden
Behav Brain Res 116:177-86. 2000..Overall, these experiments show that elevated mesolimbic dopamine concentrations can differentially modulate cocaine self-administration behavior...
Neuropeptide Y Y(1) and Y(2) receptor mRNA expression in the prefrontal cortex of psychiatric subjects. Relationship of Y(2) subtype to suicidal behaviorL Caberlotto
Karolinska Institute, Department of Clinical Neuroscience, Psychiatry Section, Karolinska Hospital, Stockholm, Sweden
Neuropsychopharmacology 25:91-7. 2001..In summary, the current results suggest distinct alterations of the prefrontal Y(1) and Y(2) neuronal populations in aging and suicide...
Human cocaine- and amphetamine-regulated transcript (CART) mRNA is highly expressed in limbic- and sensory-related brain regionsY L Hurd
Karolinska Institute, Department of Clinical Neuroscience, Psychiatry Section, Karolinska Hospital, S 171 76 Stockholm, Sweden
J Comp Neurol 425:583-98. 2000..Rat brain specimens were also studied and many similarities to the human CART mRNA expression were evident. However, the most marked species difference was the virtual absence of the CART mRNA in the rat thalamus...
A heroin-, but not a cocaine-expecting, self-administration state preferentially alters endogenous brain peptidesS L Cappendijk
Karolinska Institute, Department of Clinical Neurosciences, Stockholm, Sweden
Eur J Pharmacol 365:175-82. 1999....
Coadministration of (-)-OSU6162 with l-DOPA normalizes preproenkephalin mRNA expression in the sensorimotor striatum of primates with unilateral 6-OHDA lesionsW Pirker
Department of Clinical Neuroscience, Karolinska Hospital, Stockholm, S-17176, Sweden
Exp Neurol 169:122-34. 2001..Coadministration of (-)-OSU6162 had no apparent influence on these l-DOPA-induced changes in PDyn mRNA expression. The present results suggest that (-)-OSU6162 acts primarily by modifying striatal output via the indirect pathway...
Dynamic changes of the endogenous cannabinoid and opioid mesocorticolimbic systems during adolescence: THC effectsM Ellgren
Department of Clinical Neuroscience, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden
Eur Neuropsychopharmacol 18:826-34. 2008..These findings emphasize the dynamic nature of the mesocorticolimbic endocannabinoid system during adolescence and the selective mesocorticolimbic disturbance as a consequence of adolescent cannabis exposure...
Marijuana impairs growth in mid-gestation fetusesY L Hurd
Karolinska Institute, Department of Clinical Neuroscience, Psychiatry Section, Karolinska University Hospital, Stockholm, Sweden
Neurotoxicol Teratol 27:221-9. 2005..These findings provide evidence of a negative impact of prenatal marijuana exposure on the mid-gestational fetal growth even when adjusting for maternal use of other substances well known to impair fetal development...
Temporal upregulation of prodynorphin mRNA in the primate striatum after cocaine self-administrationP Fagergren
