Considerable evidence indicates that neuroadaptations leading to addiction involve the
same cellular processes that enable learning and memory, such as long‐term potentiation …

While dopamine (DA) receptors mediate acute effects of amphetamine and cocaine, chronic
drug administration produces many glutamate‐dependent adaptations, including LTP in …

Abstract Trafficking of α‐amino‐3‐hydroxy‐5‐methylisoxazole‐4‐propionate (AMPA)
receptors is an important determinant of synaptic strength. Our prior work suggests that D1 …

The goal of this study was to understand how dopamine receptors, which are activated
during psychostimulant administration, might influence glutamate‐dependent forms of …

Addiction is believed to involve glutamate-dependent forms of synaptic plasticity that
promote the formation of new habits focused on drug seeking. We used primary cultures of …

Considerable evidence suggests that neuroadaptations leading to addiction involve the
same glutamate-dependent cellular mechanisms that enable learning and memory. Long …

Excitatory synapses onto dopamine (DA) neurons of the ventral tegmental area (VTA)
represent a critical site of psychostimulant-induced synaptic plasticity. This plasticity involves …

The use-dependent modification of synapses is strongly influenced by dopamine, a
transmitter that participates in both the physiology and pathophysiology of animal behavior …

Postsynaptic interactions between dopamine and glutamate receptors in the nucleus
accumbens are critical for acute responses to drugs of abuse and for neuroadaptations …

Postsynaptic interactions between dopamine (DA) and glutamate receptors in the nucleus
accumbens (NAc) are critical for addiction. To determine the effect of acute and repeated DA …
