Abstract excerpt

Activation of c-fos, a member of the class of immediate early genes that act as transcription factors, may be one of the initial molecular mechanisms underlying plastic changes in gene expression in response to drugs of abuse. By combining c-fos (radioactive) in situ hybridization histochemistry...
