Cocaine- and amphetamine-regulated transcript (CART) peptides are neuropeptides that are expressed in brain regions associated with reward. The studies show that CART mRNA increases with cocaine administration. CART has roles in reward, reinforcing processes, fear and stress, and may be an important therapeutic target in the treatment of stimulant abuse.
