The dopaminergic system, and in particular the dopamine D2 receptor, has been implicated
in reward mechanisms. The net effect of neurotransmitter interaction at the mesolimbic brain …

Cocaine's addictive liability has been linked to its pharmacologic actions on
mesotelencephalic dopamine (DA) reinforcement/reward pathways in the central nervous …

Recent studies suggest that the mesoaccumbens dopamine system undergoes
neurochemical alterations as a result of restricted feeding conditions with access to sugars …

Dopamine in the nucleus accumbens has been implicated in motivated behavior, including
feeding. Normal feeding occurs in patterns, but little is known about how these schedules …

Opiate reinforcement has been hypothesized to be mediated by an inhibition of mesolimbic
γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) release that subsequently disinhibits ventral tegmental area …

Cocaine‐induced increases in extracellular dopamine (DA) concentrations were measured
using in vivo microdialysis techniques in the nucleus accumbens (NACC) of freely moving …

A meta‐analysis was conducted on data obtained from published articles which used in vivo
microdialysis to assess dose‐response curves of cocaine on dopamine (DA) overflow within …

The dopamine (DA) uptake/clearance properties of the DA transporter (DAT) in the core and
shell of the nucleus accumbens were measured usingin vivoelectrochemical recordings …

Chronic use of psychostimulants induces enduringly increased responsiveness to a
subsequent psychostimulant injection and sensitivity to drug-associated cues, contributing to …

Dopaminergic activity in the mesocorticolimbic system is associated with reinforcing
properties of psychostimulant drugs. We previously demonstrated that increased γ …
