Acid-sensing ion channels (ASICs) are densely expressed in broad areas of mammalian brains and actively modulate synaptic transmission and a variety of neuronal activities. To explore whether ASICs are linked to addictive properties of drugs of abuse, we investigated the effect of the psychostimulant amphetamine on subcellular ASIC expression in the rat forebrain in vivo. Repeated administration of amphetamine (once daily for 7 days, 1.

Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Ajay Suman"

  • - Ajay Suman's research primarily focuses on the impact of psychostimulant drugs on ion channels in the brain, particularly exploring the role of acid-sensing ion channels (ASICs) in neuronal activities.
  • - In his 2010 study, Suman investigated the alterations in subcellular expression of ASICs in the rat forebrain following chronic administration of amphetamine, aiming to understand the potential link between ASICs and addictive behaviors.
  • - The findings suggest that repeat exposure to amphetamine can significantly modify the expression of ASICs, which may contribute to the drug's addictive properties, indicating a complex interaction between drug use and neuronal signaling mechanisms.
