Cocaine abusers may experience drug craving upon exposure to environmental contexts
where cocaine was experienced. The dorsal hippocampus (DHC) is important for contextual …

The environment in which cocaine is experienced becomes associated with the effects of the
drug and can then elicit cocaine craving. This study examined whether the hippocampus is …

A key aspect of substance abuse is that drug taking often occurs in a specific context. As a
consequence, exposure to drug‐associated contexts can trigger cravings and relapse, even …

Associations between cocaine and cues facilitate development and maintenance of
addiction. We hypothesized that the ventral hippocampus is important for acquisition of …

Previous research suggests that the prelimbic subregion of the medial prefrontal cortex
(mPFC) is necessary for acquisition of cocaine-conditioned place preference (CPP) …

Conditioned place preference (CPP) is a widely used model of addiction-related behavior
whose underlying mechanisms are not understood. In this study, we used dual site silicon …

Exposure to a cocaine‐paired context increases the propensity for relapse in cocaine users
and prompts cocaine‐seeking behavior in rats. According to the reconsolidation hypothesis …

Recent evidence suggests that the hippocampus may have a functional role in mediating
relapse to cocaine-seeking behavior. Based on the importance of the ventral CA subfields in …

Adolescence is a transitional period during development that is associated with a greater
likelihood of addiction to drugs than any other age. One possibility for this observation is that …

The ventral hippocampus (VH) plays critical roles in cue-induced and cocaine-primed
reinstatement of cocaine seeking [Rogers JL, See RE (2007) Neurobiol Learn Mem 87: 688 …
