Ago2 and Dicer1 are involved in METH ‐induced locomotor sensitization in mice via biogenesis of miRNA
In conclusion, this study indicates that miRNA biogenesis (such as Ago2 and Dicer1) and their miRNA products may have a role in the development of METH addiction. miRNA biogenesis (Ago2 and Dicer1) and their miRNA products may have a role in methamphetamine (METH) addiction. miRNAs and Ago2 were significantly down‐regulated, while pre‐miRNA remained unchanged or up‐regulated, which suggests that the down‐regulation of miRNAs was likely due to a reduction in Ago2‐mediated splicing. Dicer1 was significantly increased and was a potential target of METH‐induced decreased miRNAs such as miR‐124, miR‐212 and miR...

Drinking despite adversity: behavioral evidence for a head down and push strategy of conflict ‐resistant alcohol drinking in rats
Abstract Compulsive alcohol drinking, where intake persists regardless of adverse consequences, plays a major role in the substantial costs of alcohol use disorder. However, the processes that promote aversion‐resistant drinking remain poorly understood. Compulsion‐like responding has been considered automatic and reflexive and also to involve higher motivation, since drinking persists despite adversity. Thus, we used lickometry, where microstructural behavioral changes can reflect altered motivation, to test whether conflict‐resistant intake [quinine‐alcohol (QuiA)] reflected greater automaticity or motivation rel...
