It is well established that the damaging effects of drugs of abuse, such as cocaine, can
extend beyond the user to their offspring. While most preclinical models of the generational …

Despite the increased prevalence of cocaine use and abuse in males when compared with
females, possible effects of paternal cocaine exposure on biobehavioral development have …

Paternal cocaine use causes phenotypic alterations in offspring behavior and associated
neural processing. In rodents, changes in first generation (F1) offspring include drug reward …

Recent rodent studies have demonstrated that parental cocaine exposure can influence
offspring behavior, supporting the idea that environmental insults can impact subsequent …

Parental care is among the most profound behavior expressed by humans and other
animals. Despite intense interest in understanding the biological basis of parental …

Cocaine abuse by women is correlated with a high incidence of child neglect and abuse,
and young children prenatally exposed to cocaine show early signs of neurobehavioral …

Drug abuse during pregnancy is a major public health concern, with negative consequences
throughout development. Prenatal cocaine exposure (PCE) in rats produces social behavior …

We previously showed that paternal cocaine exposure reduced the reinforcing efficacy of
cocaine in male offspring. Here, we sought to determine whether paternal cocaine …

Mounting evidence suggests that parental ingestion of abused drugs influences the
physiology and behavior of future generations in the absence of prenatal exposure …

It has been previously established that paternal development of a strong incentive
motivation for cocaine can predispose offspring to develop high cocaine-seeking behavior …
