Neuropsychotoxicity of Abused Drugs: Involvement of Matrix Metalloproteinase-2 and -9 and Tissue Inhibitor of Matrix Metalloproteinase-2 in Methamphetamine-Induced Behavioral Sensitization and Reward in Rodents
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and their inhibitors (TIMPs) function to remodel the pericellular environment. We have investigated the role of the MMP/ TIMP system in methamphetamine (METH) dependence in rodents, in which the remodeling of neural circuits may be crucial. Repeated METH treatment in...
