Transgenic expression of ZBP1 in neurons suppresses cocaine-associated conditioning
... transgenic ZBP1 protein specifically in forebrain neurons. Endogenous ZBP1 is not expressed in mature neurons; therefore, transgenic expression would not compete with endogenous protein for target binding (Leeds et al. 1997; Ioannidis et al. 2003, 2004; Perycz et al. 2011).

Clinical neurochemistry
Clinical neurochemistry is the field of neurological biochemistry which relates biochemical phenomena to clinical symptomatic manifestations in humans. While neurochemistry is mostly associated with the effects of neurotransmitters and similarly-functioning chemicals on neurons themselves, clinical neurochemistry relates these phenomena to system-wide symptoms. Clinical neurochemistry is related to neurogenesis, neuromodulation, neuroplasticity, neuroendocrinology, and neuroimmunology in the context of associating neurological findings at both lower and higher level organismal functions.
