Stress as a Risk Factor for Substance Use Disorders: A Mini-Review of Molecular Mediators
The extant literature supports the role of stress in enhancing the susceptibility of drug abuse progressing to a substance use disorder diagnosis. However, the molecular mediators by which stress enhances the progression from cocaine abuse to cocaine use disorder via the mesolimbic pathway remain el...
