Differential Gene Expression in the Prefrontal Cortex and Hippocampus Following Long-Access Methamphetamine Self-Administration in Male Rats
Robison C, Madore V, Cova N, Karbalivand M, Elsawa S, Charntikov S
Int J Mol Sci . 2025 Feb; 26(4). PMID: 40003870
Methamphetamine (METH) is a potent psychostimulant that disrupts cognitive and neurobiological functions in brain regions such as the prefrontal cortex (PFC) and hippocampus. Chronic METH use leads to altered synaptic...

Individual corticosterone response to intermittent swim stress predicts a shift in economic demand for ethanol from pre-stress to post-stress in male rats
Robison C, Madore V, Cova N, Drugan R, Charntikov S
Front Behav Neurosci . 2024 Aug; 18:1418544. PMID: 39206388
This study investigated the relationship between stress exposure and subsequent ethanol use, focusing on individual differences among male rats. We combined operant self-administration with behavioral economics to assess how intermittent...

Individual corticosterone response to intermittent swim stress predicts a shift in economic demand for ethanol from pre- stress to post-stress in male rats
Robison C, Madore V, Cova N, Drugan R, Charntikov S
bioRxiv . 2024 Mar; PMID: 38464299
This study investigated the relationship between stress exposure and subsequent ethanol use, focusing on individual differences among male rats. We combined operant self-administration with behavioral economics to assess how intermittent...

Assessment of ethanol and nicotine interactions using a reinforcer demand modeling with grouped and individual levels of analyses in a long-access self-administration model using male rats
Robison C, Cova N, Madore V, Allen T, Barrett S, Charntikov S
Front Behav Neurosci . 2023 Dec; 17:1291128. PMID: 38098500
Previous reports have indicated the reciprocal effects of nicotine and ethanol on their rewarding and reinforcing properties, but studies using methodological approaches resembling substance use in vulnerable populations are lacking....

Inactivation of posterior but not anterior dorsomedial caudate-putamen impedes learning with self-administered nicotine stimulus in male rats
Robison C, Kazan T, Miller R, Cova N, Charntikov S
Behav Brain Res . 2021 Jul; 413:113438. PMID: 34224762
The rodent caudate-putamen is a large heterogeneous neural structure with distinct anatomical connections that differ in their control of learning processes. Previous research suggests that the anterior and posterior dorsomedial...

Assessment of individual differences in response to acute bupropion or varenicline treatment using a long-access nicotine self-administration model and behavioral economics in female rats
Kazan T, Robison C, Cova N, Madore V, Charntikov S
Behav Brain Res . 2020 Feb; 385:112558. PMID: 32109437
Bupropion and varenicline are widely prescribed pharmacological treatments for smoking cessation. These treatments are only marginally effective in clinical populations but most preclinical studies show that they are effective in...
