Transcription profiling by high throughput sequencing of methamphetamine-sensitized and saline-control mouse nucleus accumbens

Using ssRNA-seq, we examined the alteration of transcription profiles in the nucleus accumbens of methamphetamine-sensitized mice. Methamphetamine was a commonly abused psychostimulant. Repeated exposure to methamphetamine elicited long-lasting cellular and molecular changes, including the aberrant expression of coding and non-coding RNAs, which may involve in methamphetamine-induced locomotor sensitization and addiction.
