Forensic Context

A systematic review of the literature on substance abuse indicates that the mir-488 is downregulated in the context of acute cocaine use in an Ago2-dependent manner, a finding based on studies in murine models, and is implicated in neural plasticity and motivation [Occhipinti et al. DOI:10.3390/Ijms242317122].
