Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Slow neurotransmission including DARPP-32 signalling is implicated in substance use disorders (SUDs) by experimental systems but not yet in the human aetiology. PPP1R12B, encoding another protein in the DARPP-32 family, hasn't been studied in the brain. METHODS: Brain-regional gene activity was assessed in three different animal models of SUDs for mRNA level alterations. Genetic associations were...
