Summary

The results suggest that the attenuated response in the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis to chronic binge cocaine administration is coupled to the cocaine-induced decreases in CRF gene expression in the leptin-releasing factor region and that activation of CRFGene expression in extrahypothalamic regions may have implications for a molecular understanding of the behavioral responses to cocaine.
