Erratum for Nestler, Molecular Mechanisms of Drug Addiction

In “Molecular Mechanisms of Drug Addiction” (E.J. Nestler; J Neurosci 12:2439–2450, July 1992), several sentences in the caption to figure 5 should read: “In addition, NF levels are decreased in the VTA in the drug-addicted and drug-preferring animal. This decrease in NFs may be associated with alterations in neuronal structure, decreases in axonal caliber, and/or decreases in axonal transport rate in these cells, as observed recently for chronic morphine (Beitner-Johnson and Nestler, 1992). Such a decrease in axonal transport may account for the lack of correspondingly increased levels of TH in dopaminergic terminals in the NAc.” The author regrets this error
