Rats raised in an enriched environmental condition (EC) exhibit a decreased (35%) maximal
velocity (Vmax) of [3H] dopamine (DA) uptake in medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) compared …

The ventral pallidum (VP) is often viewed as an output structure of the nucleus accumbens
septi (NAS). However, VP, like NAS, receives a dopaminergic input from the ventral …

Repeated cocaine intoxication can result in the development of behavioral sensitization in
animals and psychosis in humans, phenomena that have been associated with alterations in …

Post-traumatic morbidity reduces the quality of life for traumatic brain injury (TBI) survivors by
altering neuropsychological function. After midline fluid percussion injury (FPI), diffuse …

Rats provided limited daily access to cocaine (1 h) maintain stable levels of drug self-
administration over time while those switched to longer access (6 h or more) exhibit …

Cocaine treatment paired with environmental cues establishes a conditioned place
preference for that environment. Following expression of this preference, rats show elevated …

Cocaine treatment paired with environmental cues establishes a conditioned place
preference (CPP) for that environment. After expression of this preference, rats show …

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

In parallel with nucleus accumbens (NAS), ventral pallidum (VP) also receives a
dopaminergic projection from the ventral tegmental area (VTA). The present study examined …

In drug addiction, environmental stimuli previously associated with cocaine use readily elicit
cocaine‐associated memories, which persist long after abstinence and trigger cocaine …
